    Otaki does have an open mile on their programme. They should do the decent thing and call it the Auckland RC Mile.

    its easy sitting on the couch and unfortunately this translates to not trusting those risking their lives ,only because of the Stories that circulate regardless of their ficticious nature...it is far to easy to alter a result if your mind is divided ....on a turf track you can hide mistakes .......the best riders have consistent results on Synthetic tracks ... McNAB is King

    Almost getting as bad as the harness code.  Find the lead, slam the brakes on, kick just before the turn.  And if you are a favoured runner, everyone behind you is too shit scared to do anything about the tempo so they sit there and their chances die a slow death

    That's a pretty decent argument PS - you point out a lot of 'ups'
    My main bet these days is 3 or 4 horse multis (usually Top3 or 4 depending on price), with the any 2 /3 or 3 /4 option (sometimes Win or Top 2 as well)  which fits well with the smaller fields.
    It ends up multiplyng out to a decent return, and your 25 bucks entertainment can spread over a couple of hours which ups the entertainment value 🙂

    Pak Star reacted to chiknsmack in Sharp n Smart   
    I don't think anyone's outraged that a 3yo stayer had had 10 starts by the middle of his 3yo year. I don't think anyone should be outraged that a 3yo sprinter-miler has had 15 at the same point.
    I think people are "outraged" that while Sharp N Smart looked like he could be the next Verry Elleegant, he had a viral infection which seems to have permanently impaired his racing ability and yet his trainer is sending him around as though he's still the superstar he could've been, leading to him being well beaten more often than not. They further think that's he's being harmed by continuing to race when he "doesn't want to", though if he's actually unfit to race there's room for the authorities to step in and declare him as so (and it's probably not the case, given that he's still putting more money in the bank than most horses could ever dream of).

    There are actually 7 viable options for 3yos on the day if you include the WFA 1,200m, WFA 2,000m and WFA 1,600m Fillies and Mares. I have no idea where they are all going to come from. The depth in lead up races has hardly been flash. I imagine the slot holders will be making a beeline for this weekend's Southland Guineas winner. or possibly a maiden winner from Orange.

    Awful fall at Sha Tin overnight...sadly one horse was euthanized and three jockeys including Zac Purton taken to hospital...this was after an earlier fall in Race 6 where Vincent Ho was taken to hospital and I believe he was unconscious...hope all are ok...thoughts are with them for a speedy recovery...sad to see things like this happen...its the part of racing I never can get used to.🙏🌹

    Well done to the winner and place getters, but $100,000 would have been a fantastic stake and achieved the same.
    If they needed or need help, to spend the other $250,000, send me a private message and I'll help out.
