  1. Like others I am not usually a greyhound follower but she is something special alright! Well done to the organizers, a great race and a great call.
  2. Agreed, doesn't dribble on like some of the others. Good to she her get the First Call gig
  3. On TAB website it says they are taking betting for it under todays racing, so it will be broadcast. Set to go at 2.05am
  4. Won her 17th consecutive race overnight, a modern day record. Exciting finish and the crowd went nuts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-fJpTGaPH8
  5. Rich wfa race in jeopardy Racenet Thursday, 10 June 2010 There is still no decision on the future stake of NZ
  6. Looks like it will be on Trackside at around 3am Sunday morning. Here's my throw of the dice: 1st Jan Vermeer 2nd Bullet Train 3rd At First Sight Last Ted Spread
  7. I have seen the ad's a couple of times on other channels, certainly makes sense. And on that note, the whole Harness Jewels innovation seems to have been a resounding success. I wonder if the thoroughbred code could do something similar, any ideas?
  8. Quote from his website: 'As well as authoring the best selling Make A Million Selling Real Estate, his purchase of the top-priced Zabeel colt for $2 million at the New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling Sales at Karaka in 2007, was the networking coup of the year! All the publicity generated into sales for Ray White Manukau, with the following month being their best ever. "It has been very good for business and a very successful way of networking for me," says Don.'
  9. He came out of nowhere, blowing away the big players with his $2 million bid for a prized thoroughbred yearling at Karaka, and within months won a Group One race at Trentham, sponsored the $200,000 City of Auckland Cup, and even bought up some rising harness stars. The once penniless Vietnamese refugee who started out hocking watercress for 99c a bunch, but made it on to the Rich List selling real estate, hogged the headlines everywhere with a seemingly endless frenzy of activity. But today Don Ha is nowhere to be seen. He doesn't go to the races any more. His distinctive black colours sporting a large red D and white H are gone. He's sold or given away all but one of his 42-strong stable
  10. When I saw the ad I thought it was going to be some anti-jumps thing, but it was good they emphasized the unusual nature of all the falls happening in one race, and they didn't even talk about the steeples which was a similar affair. All in all I don't think it did too much damage.
  11. Wealth Princess 2:40pm Spera (John Sargent's) 3:50pm Time Keeper/Sir Slick/Ekstreme 5:45pm
  12. Would agree with what he has said. I wonder how many forests they destroy each month with the thoroughbred calendar.
  13. Trainer Graeme Nicholson continues to be amazed with his star three-year-old Sir Time Keeper and hopes to confirm a Cox Plate mission in the spring if the colt wins the Group One Doomben Cup. However, three-year-olds have a poor record in the Doomben Cup with only Danewin in 1995 and Akhenaton in 2000 successful from 34 runners from their age group in the past 20 years. Nicholson revealed he recently knocked back a $2.5 million offer for the Stravinsky colt and has pencilled in the Doomben Cup (2020m) and next month's Group One Queensland Derby (2400m) at Eagle Farm as his main winter goals. "I may have to give him another run before the Derby because he's such a great eater," Nicholson said. "He eats like an elephant. He's huge and it's nothing for him to eat a 20-litre feed bin every night." Sir Time Keeper has won five of his 26 starts including his latest against his own age over 2000 metres at Te Rapa on May 1. The offer to buy Sir Time Keeper came from a mystery Queenslander who has asked to inspect him on Doomben Cup day. "I had an offer of $2.5 million dollars from a bloke in Queensland to buy him after he won the (Group One) Easter Handicap back home and he said he'd have a look at him on Doomben Cup day but he's not for sale," Nicholson said. "I shudder to think what this horse is going to do as a four-year-old so I'm going to take him home after his winter campaign and get him ready for the Cox Plate. "I'm also considering the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups with him." Nicholson will also saddle up veteran Sir Slick in the Doomben Cup but believes the rising nine-year-old will struggle to beat his younger stablemate following the barrier draw on Wednesday. "Barrier two is great for (Sir) Time Keeper but Sir Slick will have a job to do from 13," he said. "They worked together at the Gold Coast on Tuesday and (Sir) Time Keeper just beat Sir Slick." Sir Time Keeper, who races as Time Keeper in New Zealand, showed he was a real warrior when he won the Easter Handicap at Ellerslie last month. "He pulled a shoe and pricked his foot on the morning of the race. He was lame but we managed to put a plate over the hole in his foot and kept walking him," Nicholson said. "Eventually he just walked it out and later won the race." Like Sir Slick, who is coming off a last-start fifth to Metal Bender in the Group Two Hollindale Stakes (1800m) at the Gold Coast, Sir Time Keeper likes to lead in his races. "I don't think Sir Slick is capable of getting out in front of him," Nicholson said. The battle for the lead has been thrown into further confusion with trainer Gai Waterhouse expecting Gold Water to lead the Doomben Cup. Waterhouse, whose only Doomben Cup win was with Juggler in 1996, is confident Gold Water can end her lean trot in Queensland. Gold Water was ridden by Shane Scriven when a courageous third in the Hollindale Stakes (1800m) but stable jockey Nash Rawiller will be aboard for her Doomben Cup assignment. The four-year-old daughter of Choisir has been racing consistently and was runner-up at her three previous starts, in the Group Two Emancipation Stakes (1600m) and Listed Doncaster Prelude (1600m) at Randwick and Group One Coolmore Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill. "She's got two horses on the outside of her but she's very versatile and I can't see anything leading her," Waterhouse said. http://www.superracing.com.au/heraldsun/story/Sir-Time-Keeper-not-for-sale-just-yet/14737
