Mattski

Any updates thanks on if/when my bible might be back??

Great thanks rdytdy. To be fair to CD he also had an horrific fall a few years back didn't he............

I think she is an excellent jock. Not an Opie for natural talent (not many are) but she doesn't make many mistakes and always gives 110% even in a small race. Anyway, someone said the other day that she'd never won a race at Ellerslie. I realise she doesn't ride up there much but is this true? Thx, Matt

Thanks chris I always backed wooden edge so i'd have to go Wooden Racket Cheers...Matt Dravitzki

Totally agree = we need The Informant back for the sake of our industry. Any updates thx?

Has any progress been made on starting this?? Thx

Has there been any commentary on her in the last week? I see she is still in the Oaks next Sat and a soft track shouldn't be a prob Thx, Matt

Is a heavy 8 a prob for Avilus? Do Danz. I am keen on Midterm in R3

Didn't Zacada go down by a about a head last year? Noms do look stronger to be fair but 1/2 of them will drop away.

33 minutes ago, Beekeeper said: Of the 60 horses placing in 10 races at the Auckland Derby day races 45 were bred overseas !!!!! What’s going on ? Sorry I am a bit confused Beekeeper. 9 of the 30 horses that were top-3 at Ellerslie yesterday were bred in Aus. The other 21 bred in NZ. Def a good day for Aussie breds (derby quinella) but don't forget NZ breds win a few decent races over there eh. Cheers, Matt

I see she is no longer in the TAB's Sydney Cup market. Has she gone amiss? Ordinary run at Otaki Thanks, Mat

Don't you think Weiry and his lawyer have done a deal with the Stewarts. i.e. don't contest the charges and drag racing through months of bad press and we'll give you 4 years. Contest the charges and we'll smash you and give you at least 10 years.

re Charm Spirit. His UK/European crop have just turned 3 - so they haven't raced at 3 yet. He had a very high number of runners (74) from the 106 foals in Europe as 2 year olds. A good number of winners (26) but yes only one stakes winner. Its just too early to say with this guy yet (the same as Sacred Falls). Don't right CS off if his 2 year olds are average here though. European 2 year old races over 1400-1600 are very different from 1000-1200m speed races in Aussie on hard tracks. As mentioned he was out of a Montjeu mare. If I was offered one out of a really good mare I would have a crack Cheers, Matt

Agreed - great young trainer. The big man's faith in The Chosen One is being repaid.
