  1. Hi rev, I think the format is fine as it is, feel free to post everyones entries however you like, but this is the format SNM stated was the way for entries to be posted, so lets keep it simple for now. I will discuss with the competition organiser any changes he wants to make or allow, as it was his brainchild to start with.
  2. 1. Te Rapa R4 2-5 2. Te Rapa R6 7-8B 3. Te Rapa R7 2-10 4. Te Rapa R8 2-3 5. Randwick R2 2-8 6. Randwick R6 3-5 7. Randwick R7 1-2 8. Caulfield R4 1-7 9. Caulfield R6 1-4 10. Caulfield R7 1-5 11. Caulfield R8 4-15 12. Caulfield R9 1-3B Good luck team mates please god help us lets hope we find some form...good luck to everyone else, except our opponents LOL...and thanks SNM as always for your tireless work on the scoring.
  3. Bute is bute ..break the rules is break the rules...this needs to be stamped out.
  4. Come on, if there was room it would not have been an issue.
  5. Hope she bounces back. Looked like she may have got stood on, had nowhere to go and nearly went through the running rail...Head on would be interesting but as always the race is now taken down, and the stewards report will also be interesting as it looked like the rider of tivaci Princess may have been the cause.
  6. I have heard from a few people there have been many sore horses that raced on Karaka Millions night in the days and weeks after the meeting, lets hope for everyones sake they sort these track issues out..or it could end up a huge white elephant. I believe this is not just just restricted to a few horses but a large number....some with no previous soremness issues over previous multiple years of racing.
  7. And the risk of injury running a horse with but in its system...I seem to remember a catastrophic injury because of this same drug...the rules are meant for all to keep a level playing field no matter who it is they all should be treated the same.
  8. Peter Didham as well...his strike rate is as good as anyone in the country...agree they should have spread them out more.
  9. New arrival adds wealth of international experience By Paul Vettise, LOVERACING.NZ News Desk Champion jockey Per-Anders Graberg is hoping to make an impression in New Zealand to add to the list of countries he has successfully ridden in. The vastly experienced Swedish jockey arrived last week on a four-month visa and has based himself in Cambridge. “I have been riding out for Tony Pike and, of course, for any others if they need me,” Graberg said. The 49-year-old finished fifth aboard the Pike-trained Full Moon Fever in his New Zealand debut at Matamata on Wednesday and will have two rides at Te Rapa on Saturday for the stable. The natural lightweight will partner the promising Vera Rose in the $350,000 Sir Patrick Hogan Karapiro Classic (1600m) and the capable but often unpredictable Dawn Parade in the Vertical Logistics Handicap (1400m). “I am very glad he has put me on and very much looking forward to it,” Graberg said. Fiorente filly Vera Rose has made a promising start to her career with the three-year-old winning her first two starts and most recently finished fourth in the Gr.3 Desert Gold Stakes (1600m) at Trentham. Vera Rose is raced by breeder The Oaks Stud, the Cambridge operation managed by Rick Williams whose son Dean was formerly Pike’s Racing Manager and a key player in Graberg’s arrival in New Zealand. “I met Dean when he came over to Europe and stopped by Sweden on his way to Ireland and we had a chat about it and he said he could help to set it up,” he said. “I said yes, okay, and when they cancelled all the racing back home for the winter and none of my normal clients were going to Dubai like they normally do, I said let’s go for it. “My plan was to have come over a lot earlier, but it took longer than I expected to get my visa through, so I’ve only been here for five days.” Graberg has a career tally of 2062 winners, mainly in Sweden, and has been champion Scandinavian jockey on 12 occasions. “I have ridden winners in 11 different countries, mostly through Europe and in Dubai,” he said. “Back home, I usually ride at 54kg but down here where it’s warm I could go down to 53kg for a good ride, I’m a naturally light guy.” Graberg said he would be keen to return to New Zealand in the future if his current stay works out well. “The season starts back home in the middle of April, so Plan A is to be home for that,” he said. “If I like it and people like me and I have a bit of success then I would like to come back next year for three or four months, so this is a test really to see if I like it of course and can get going.” – LOVERACING.NZ News Desk

  22. Your opinion is yours only...its a racing site the jokes will be moved elsewhere...cheers....
  23. I went out there yesterday looking for a filly to race and was sadly disappointed, many of the 50 I looked at were very small and would not ever be big enough to race. I agree Pam at least if you went to festival you knew that you may find a type without pedigree, now all are mixed in together. Point is some should not be going to any sale JMO.
  24. Just because he gives his best does that mean he should be doing what he is doing???If Trackside can get Jane Ivil they should be doing all they can to secure her....JMO.
