Sporting mercenary. Next stop Entain?

canon47 that jumper was Tontine. Brian Andrews won the Herries Memorial Handicap on Terrific at Te Aroha on the 26/2/66. He won from Lu Filou and John Humphries, Golden Defoe and Norm Holland and Ravenwood and Noel Riordan.

Terrific raced 46 times in NZ for 13 wins. At 2 he was unplaced in 3 starts. At 3 he won 7 from 19. His first win came at his 7th start- Te Rapa 1m on the 25/10/65 ridden by Nigel Landers. At 4 he won 6 from 12. At 5 he was unplaced in 9 starts and at 6 he was unplaced in 3 starts. Grenville won 11 on him and Nigel Landers and Brian Andrews 1 each. In Australia he ran 9th in the 1966 Caulfield Cup and 10th in 1967, 10th in the 1966 Melbourne Cup, 2nd in the 1966 and 1967 Turnbull Stakes, 3rd in the 1966 Herbert Power Stakes and 2nd in the 1967 Cox Plate.

mulebacker you are wrong. Jockeys don't get paid for the races abandoned. Owners and trainers miss out as well. The float fee from Waikato to Hastings would be about $700-$800 per horse.

Aaron The Anchor sorry I misread your post!

Contentious Yo (Peter Yovich) was also given the nickname Long Shot by some journalists.

Acka Cowan Snooky Cowan Snow Sheat Crash Cross There was a jockey in Cambridge in the 60's called David Bell. His nickname was Ding Dong. Nigel Landers had two unflattering nicknames which I won't reveal. Rev would know!

Steve Cauthen- the kid. Paul Taylor- Lofty. Graham Walters- The King. William Pike- the wizard (of the west). Arthur Hounsell- Choc. Les Boots- falling leaves.

Gruff our TAB has betting on four divisions of English football.

Talked to former jockey Garry Edge yesterday about back runners being ridden forward and getting their breathing out of kilter. He agreed 100%. Gave me the example of the handy stayer Roganne he used to ride- trained by Wally Townsend at Cambridge. Garry won 9 of his 16 wins on him including the 1966 and 1968 Taumaranui Cups. One day at Te Rapa over 2200m Wally told Garry to ride him forward because he was getting to far back in his races. Garry whipped him straight after the start and got him up to third at the winning post with a round to go. By the time they hit the 600m mark he was going backwards at a rate of knots. They never rode him like that again!

The stake for the Maiden 2yo race was a derisory $30,000. On such a big day should have been at least $40,000 or $50,000.

Ted as you know I am a recidivist jockey defender! Three mitigating circumstances: He was the lowest rated horse in the field (85). He was only having his 7th start- the other runners had 226 races between them- seasoned tough campagners- in boxing parlance a bit light throwing a middleweight into the ring v a heavyweight. When you change a back runners racing style to on the pace invariably their breathing pattern goes out of kilter and they are vulnerable late.

Palliser Aiden Rodley should quit his soporific utterances on Trackside and concentrate on writing. His books are well researched and offer good reading.

Sometimes a more conservative approach works better for punters clubs. Yesterday at Tauranga Andre Neill returned $15 for every $10 invested.

Foxton, Te Teko, Waipa, Gisborne, Waipukurau!

They should have looked at strike rates. Terri Rae would have got one on that basis.
