Could he convince Ken Barron to come out of retirement. At least until there is a clash.
Semi retired David Butt and Mark Jones nowhere near their best before dates.
Maybe a wait and see until current race course bans are lifted or ...........

The first call is rubbish.  Watch get on in aussie, astute tipsters there.  Tan and Rodley a very difficult watch

Yeah exactly!!!  I do follow his horses as he's a very good horseman, but how he continually gets stuck 4 and 5 back along the fence astounds me.  Kind of like Richard Brosnan in the last decade

Does anyone ACTUALLY know who the others are with name suppression?  I hear a trained at Russley is one of them

mile racing has it's place in NZ but for me I wouldnt enjoy all races being over a mile or even mobiles for that matter.  In saying that would love to see an open class mile at Ashburton or Wyndham

Farty, there are statistics.....and there are statistics. 
 
It's purely subjective how you want to interpret them.
 

Really Guys Grow up.  Enough is enough. Your just as bad as each other. Move on!

What bout the mighty Rick McIntosh, "Go hard or go home"

Wahoo Matt first win.jack Harrington Matt Anderson the rising young guns who don't mind putting their balls on the line.help themselves.hard workers done the yards.need a few more.

Fair comments from all concerned.  Yes with their expectations and volume of horses ordinary ones get moved on quickly.

Lets start from the beginning.  Princess Tiffany phenomenal run came from last and busted them down the back and once again just kept on trucking, the stablemate should have run second.  Enhance your calm way too good, ditto shez all rock.  The only disappointment was Partyon, even the Mark Purdon magic couldn't help her, but nothing to prove she has been an awesome filly.  Sicario couldn't win the way that race panned out. Was the Blair and Dexter exchange after the race a we gave you no chance of winning that mark and nat? 
The fields on Sunday at Ashburton were ordinary, but these horses are the heart and soul of the industry!!  No one stable dominance there, very entertaining!

Once again another procession.  Overall a very boring days viewing for mine

It's not the fact they win everything its the way they win everything so easily which is the worrying thing.  Very soon they won't have to worry about beating anyone

Once again another procession.  Overall a very boring days viewing for mine

Without these trainers there would only be a handful of starters in every race?   I wouldn't be happy owning horses with no chance of being competitive.

Not sure what you mean here  90% of people are in this game for love alone, no money in it and incredibly expensive.  The ignorance of some people floors me!!!

You are a complete muppet.  

If they recognise they are slow ones they shouldn't be bleeding the bill-payers by keeping them in work but rather go and buy a hamburger bar. An old saying -there's no hope for the hopeless. Training daily fees should include a profit margin, I accept that, but look at some of the stakes some stables are earning then take the trainers % and many are making sweet FA so why are they still in business? At least the trainer gets a % of the gross stake earning. The owner then has all the expenses deducted from his. It's a hard game but while a "licence" says you are officially a trainer it doesn't make you a professional or a businessman.

Sometimes it may just be an indication of the quality of the horses,or lack of, that they are getting.  

Look its just the way it is i know, just demoralising for others.  But hey couldnt believe 1.85 for Elle Mac!!!

Jeez fart too much could your head be any further up mark purdons arse??

Yes correct.  However, not many have the resources and/or owners to help them lift their game
