    tasman man got a reaction from Value Bell in Campbell family from Palmerston South.   
    Le Chant also very good....both won about 20 races and formed a lethal bracket. Stylish Moccasins OK too.
    As to Velocity Jet which raced on Saturday  ,he is out of Sweedish Filly who is from a prolific producer in Anreca Hest.
    Anreca Hest was the mother of The Fiery Ginga...who can forget him ! Anreca out of Geena !
    Back to Geena Hest ,she had a number of foals ,one being Rosedorae who won a race and was a good producer of trotters who have raced in recent times. 
    BD Khaosan was very good , while BD Yasothon won races as did  Love Rose who won twice at 3 in 2021.
    GHest also produced some Geena's foals and one has produced Venuti [ Father Patrick] who may be racing out of Kevin Townley's any day.
     
    So still plenty of Moccasin's family still about !

    Group races shouldn’t have pref draws, group races are what people strive to get horses in and then to penalise  the better ones with bad draws is a disgrace an also gives some horses and advantage to gain the important black type status

    tasman man got a reaction from FastnetRockstar in Dead people watch the races hahaha   
    I guess the reference is to the regular occurence of commentators saying about a recently deceased owner that 'He/she will be looking down from above on the horse winning the race' ,and getting great satisfaction etc etc etc

    #1...Just because you are in a team called The Terminators doesn't mean you are going to win
    #2...When someone on your team has a lucky number ( #7) and that is their only pick all day doesn't mean you are going to win
    #3...When other teams are bombing pieces of trifectas and First 4's you are not going to win
    #4...When you are a place bettor like Cubes you are not going to win
    #5...Great day and great catch up with Col and Hutch amongst others
    #6...When you are placed second in a field of 36 going into the last does not mean you are going to podium
    #7...Cubemeister reckons he enjoys the day even more than NZ cup day
    #8...Apparently in a treble 1st , 2nd , 1st doesn't pay out
    #9...Great fodder for the punters....best ham in the the South Island for us that are tragic
    #10...2 year old racing is enjoyable but Cubes never seems to find a winner
    #11...Staff @ Riccarton are consistently professional and friendly
    #12...Acoustics average but improved flat screens
    #13...Cubes had a really good time and reckons will be back next year
    #14...Tactics are important.......someone fancied a runner in first and he missed out and had all his tin on it but Cubes kind of admires his all in style.....go large or go home
    #15...Cubes has a hangover

    When you say heads should roll - are you thinking people sacked ? Or what level of penalty ? And who ?
    Not condoning what happened - but it was picked up pre race. Yes penalise the trainer - but am I alone in thinking  it wasn't the end of the world ?

    Cubity through various things in Chch has met Mr Hickman on a few occasions and can say he has never met a more humble and modest gentleman
    And he has done a huge amount for NZ racing
    Didn't he race Silent Achiever ?
    And on the QT he has given mountains of coin to charity

    congrats to the connections.....sorry but I'd never heard of the horse until I browsed the fields last night......and with that name I thought surely not.....
    but yes ....well named ...6th Dam Show Gate......12th Dam Eulogy
    and then watching the race I thought ...Show Gate's colours.........is that right..........Leo you wore her colours....you'd remember....
    anyway congrats  to all of those who've kept the Show Gate maternal  breed going........

    Sadly the Cruiser may not wait around for the Auckland Cup because of the fact it is a standing start !
    Self Assured will be hot again , he was very brave , got savaged by an over racing Cranbourne who looks a very tough steed.
    Great to see two such competitive races and when the Cruiser launched 4 wide at the 400 m it sure was game on.
    Similarly in the trot great to see the last 400 m , the best three trotters all outstanding talents , with handle bars down.
    Great racing !
