Yeah I thought I heard the same.

Thats good picking, I struggle with one, thought crouch went a tidy race, did get caught very wide at the start, from memory, winner was very good, i got close with a few roughies avitus 4th, shoma 3rd roughouse rosie 2nd, place divs good, but was looking for one to win.

Good on ya, can't let a bit of adverse weather put you off, back a few winners ya won't even notice it. D

Wet track at riccarton with be interesting for the 2 mile race, very testing, do like canheroc, but very open race, my early tip was lostcause, but was withdrawn, hopefully she may go to Wellington cup.

Fair to say the aussie horses a class above at present, very dominant with the races they won and just the sheer tough performances how they won, had every right to be beaten, but were just to tough, one could only watch in awe.

We know a lot about him now

Impressive time for the cup, be close to a track record, aussie horses made us look second rate to be fair, both had every excuse to be beaten.

Hopefully a successful one, certainly a tough game no doubt, maybe not quite as tough as the NRL.

I'll have to have a look through them, might need a hiab to lift them.

Don't they own a stud farm over there

I just had a look, got the trifecta, New Zealand notable thoroughbreds, Australia version, an English an Irish version, be worth a few quid no doubt,

Think I've inherited a copy of that one, got a couple big books packed in the foam

Not me either, dried arrangement here.

Yes he was a tad, just wonder weather he needed the vanderhum conditions or even the couple of other races took their toll, hopefully hell be back in nz racing at some stage, I'm sure he won his second race in greymouth, from greymouth to Melbourne quite a story, I do stand to be corrected though, memory not quite as good as used to be.

Funny ole story about Zed and how he ended up serving station hacks in the south island, along with St Reimms, after Zeds not so great start to his stud career, certainly things changed when his progeny started showing a lot more, tough game standing stallions.
