  1. The barriers made no difference in the race in question. The mare was always going to go to the front and no one was going to argue with her, not even Buffalo River. Brightside was always going to settle back because that is his pattern. She was unbeatable on the day on a short straight track like Caulfield.
  2. How do you get a $3 bonus bet? I thought if you got a bonus bet you had to spend it all in one hit.
  3. He raced during an era when we had several good hurdlers who could string together several wins in a row.
  4. The interesting thing about closing Trentham for 3 years is what happens if the other CD tracks cope quite well with the pressure and it becomes apparent that Trentham isn't really needed. What on earth are they going to be doing to Trentham for 3 years? Are they bulldozing the stands as well as redoing the track?
  5. I largely agree, but merely increasing stakes money won't fix a race like the Cup. The race that I thought was really poor was the Bonecrusher. Other than the hot fav it was a pretty ordinary field. I think Legarto got a $500,000 bonus for placing in a couple of designated races. I wasn't following it too much, but did that bonus get much of a mention on mainstream media and on trackside? Did it excite people and did it boost the quality and size of the field? I wonder if Entain would consider it $700,000 well spent? The size of some of the supporting races must have been disappointing considering the stakes on offer.
  6. It sounds like a PR piece written by the club. The writer sounds like he doesn't know much about racing and has just repeated what he has been told. Not really an opinion piece.
  7. They have no other tracks to hold those meetings on.
  8. So basically they can now guarantee it will be consistently wet across the whole width of the track.
  9. Certainly a strange one. I have never seen anything quite like it before. The TAB really should explain what happened. Normally if a horse pays a freakish place price its because another horse, or horses, has had a massive place punt on it. For that horse to pay over $11 there should have been one or two horses paying about 50 cents a place. It might have been money laundering where someone put massive place punts on all but two of the horses. In which case it might have been expensive for them as they probably hoped all three of the punted horses would place. I seem to vaguely recall when Axeman won his maiden he was something like 1/8 in the betting. But that is a different scenario brought on by a massive win bet.
  10. I don't think anyone was suggesting it was about to make a come-back Mike.
  11. Perhaps build it somewhere near Waipukurau.
  12. Interestingly, there is a 3yo fillies race over exactly the same distance on Saturday. Some of the northern trainers will be regretting not taking the option closer at hand.
  13. Compare it to the Sydney track today after torrential rain last night.
  14. And they were so proud it was going to Hong Kong. What an embarrassment.
