Very sad indeed. Thoughts are with family and friends. R.I.P Ngakau

Moodley on the mend after trial incident

Not sure what your point is there Leggy. Return To Conquer got 20 points for winning a LR race. At the end of their 2yo season La Dorada had a higher final rating which was the point of difference I was making. Return To Conquer won at 1100m and 1200m. La Dorada won at 1100m, 1200m & 1400m. Whilst they never met race day in the G1 Sistema Return To Conquer narrowly beat Landlock by a head. As a comparison La Dorada beat Landlock by three lengths the start prior in the Karaka Millions and beat Landlock by four and a half lengths in the G1 Manawatu Sires Produce.

La Dorada also won the Karaka Millions. She has highest rating of this season's 2yo at R80. Return To Conquer is R77

Happy birthday Leigh. Hope you have a ripper

Just putting a bit of perspective on what Pheroz stated . Mark Walker has been back for the last three seasons. Their strike rate has remained pretty constant. 6.39 5.82 and currently running at 6.35. Number of starters are down this year Last three years 1290 983 and currently stands at 806 this season. Marshy's strike rate has improved this season as has his number of stakes wins. Wexford has improved stats on the 22/23 season with regard to the number of wins. Whilst the number of starters for Te Akau and Stephen Marsh have declined the last two seasons Wexfords numbers have increased. The strike rate stays relatively the same at 6.17 5.99

They have broken $9 million in stake earnings. First time any stable has done that here.

Thanks Baz I meant to type Paul's Boy. Mark's Gold ran third in the race behind Purcil. Diprose was second. Some others for you. Hunting Chief Vincere Gun For Fun Mister Divinsky

Paul Hillis rode Pauls' Gold. 1981 Wellington Hurdles won by Purcil

That was in the hurdles. Paul stayed on the inside track instead of coming out onto to the course proper.

I think you need to sit down and watch the replay. Wellington Steeplechase. 24 fences and 15 were jumped using the drone high and from behind the fences. It completely negated the race as a jumping spectacle. When they switched back from the drone to normal filming it brought you closer to the horses and you could actually see them at the fences.

Collect $15.00 Cumulative total $32.00

Cumulative total for me is $42.00.

Think you missed mine SNM. Ashoka 2nd $15.00

There should never ever have been two gaps leading to the course proper.

What the hell was the go with the long drone overhead coverage of the Wellington Steeplechase. It was a blight on the race as a spectacle and bloody annoying. It was very hard to tell where they were exactly on the course and was that far away the horses were tiny looking down. When they switched back from the drone to normal coverage it was far better viewing.
