  1. Still waiting for your reply as to their sales,injuries rates. Whilst your at it maybe you can do a comparison with other harness stables. And yes you have visited the site recently so maybe you are all hat and no cattle
  2. As i said earlier this is an example for people to understand what its like running a stable, in this case the successful AS one. As i alluded to in my previous post its the same in TB code as well. You want to introduce a completely different subject as in what happens to slow or horses that are injured whilst in the AS stable. Quite simply i have no idea but you obviously have the inside running on this issue so why not educate us and tell us all.
  3. The original post was posted as an example of the day in the life of a successful training partnership. I am not saying nor are they inferring anywhere that i can see that others dont work just as hard etc. No doubt the AS detractors will jump at the chance to have a crack after reading the above but it was posted for educational purposes from my perspective for those who have not experienced stable life and costs of running a stable
  4. For those of you who have never worked in a stable let alone run the best one this is a good example of the day/nights proceedings. All Stars Style. The top gallops stables are no different based on my experience. Ashley Locaz and trotters Winterfell and Kings Landing bypass Auckland. “Ashley a grand little horse but the other three we are sending up will make things tough for him” Mark Long Holiday weekends may be welcome for many people but not at the Rolleston stable of All Stars. It means long working hours long racedays after major hopple mornings, a big hike in overheads and this weekend at least, a lack of sleep. “New Zealand seems to plan for public holiday racedays but we find them a mixed blessing at best” Natalie noted ‘We hit the ground running this morning to work over 40 horses before we started thinking about raceday and all the preparation that goes with that. Holiday costs affect us a lot and it is hard to get by on less staff when we have so much going on” But wait, it gets worse. All Stars send 6 horses north to Auckland on Sunday morning, Spankem, Chase Auckland, Enhance Your Calm, Turn It Up and Sweet on Me an Amazing Dream. ‘We will be up at 1 am to feed them and set them up for the trip. Natalie said . And Mark notes that that is not the end of it. “We do the boxes and get the feeds ready then we might get back to bed. It makes for long days and you have to put in those sort of hours. Its not easy” The mere hours also do not take into account the professional stress of driving top horses in top races. In itself that demands a lot of time” The horses will be bases again at Barry Purdons with Poi Bowden the man in charge. “I will stay up there for the last week but will be home during this week’ Mark said.
  5. Understatement of the season. Another plunge comes off from Dunn stable
  6. All the above knowing full well that the handicapper will do it no favors
  7. Race 8 on the grass today sees Givemewhatineed at ridiculous odds for a 9 start unplaced maiden with 6 unplaced runs on grass tracks until you delve a bit deeper. Was with Margo Nyhan but has been transferred to Dunns. John's been driving it at trials where it was a well hidden 5th last time out at Rangiora. The plunge is on both sides of the Tasman with 1t paying 2.70 fixed here and less offshore. Given its off the unruly in a mobile 2000 go methinks J Dunn will attack for the front at any opportunity. Interesting to see how it goes but not for me, im going to look elsewhere but good luck to those who are on it , they obviously know something or will it be a case of another plunge coming unstuck.
  8. Given he only in his early 20's he has time on his side John but i hear where your coming from.
  9. Well done to the connections for taking care of the horse first. Many an owner or trainer might have kept on given its winning strike rate and had no horse in 12 months.
  10. Depends entirely on how many are on the flight as they fly them in pallets
  11. I see CP is interested in Just Michael in race 3 at Rangiora today. Got 22.80 and 5.05 offshore so fingers crossed his good tipping can continue. After the open trot anything could happen out there. Will Clint cop another spray on the whingers channel, i think so
  12. Despite what happened you have to feel for D Weir. he did a great job with her in the first instance in Oz
  13. Dont forget the immediate depreciation aspect.
  14. Been at the last 2 he was involved with at Templeton , no more for me and the sponsor i played with. Of course each to their own.
  15. Very wise move given the recent death of Redoutes Choice. Bad timing for Chris Waller losing 2 superstars in one week to the retirement paddock
  16. Well he might have born there but departed decades ago. He is now the resident Trackside expert on both Harness and TB if you watch his performances on BS and WI O'Connor might be considered a lot worse in many ways as he will never miss miss a chance to promote O'Connor enterprises whether it be Golf events or pre Race meeting dinners etc where he is MC or guest speaker. It would only happen in NZ , can you imagine SKY racing allowing such individual promotion- nahhhhhhhhh
  17. Thats really bad luck and from what i can gather really unlucky to have 2 come unstuck whilst transferring north. Best of luck with your 2yr old but you are at the mercy of club programs and that's never a safe place to be. Look at Princes Tiffany's current predicament.
  18. Group One Inter Dominion Grand Final – Call Me Now (1995) He was one of the best over quite a few years. Won just about everything
  19. Dear oh dear , its appears 2 former Muppets from here, both red carded i believe,cant actually comprehend simple English and have once again gone off on the Sewer channel To help both parties, yes thats you HTP and Flag this thread is about Cran and Nigel both having a poor season in terms of wins.Sorry but that is factual and then me saying " one hopes that they return to the winners circle more often in coming seasons." You must be pretty dumb if you cant figure that this was not an attack on them personally. That said the jury is definitely out on one of you.
  20. From AS website ULTIMATE SNIPER HEADS NORTH FOR ASSESSMENT -BUT NOTHING SERIOUS Mark said Ultimate Sniper would be assessed by experts in the Waikato “just in case there is something bothering him” “Nat said he just felt a couple of times in the Derby that he might do something wrong and he ran greenly in the straight. He is such a genuine horse you would worry that something might be bothering him and we might as well settle that straight away. How long he will be up there depends on what everges but it is a precautionary thing at this stage” Ultimate Sniper comfortably won the NZ Derby on Friday and so any problem is likely to be minor. Better to know than not.
  21. Certainly a lot more than Vic and MIA
  22. Both having horrible season in terms of wins,16 and 15 respectively and stakes earned for their paying owners. Given their swift fall from grace one hopes that they return to the winners circle more often in coming seasons.
