    Cascadian and Atishu for mine in Aus cup. Old guy was at $20s, now down to $7.5.

    Don’t know how Legarto went up $15, now into $12. Can win with the right run.

    Agree Atishu and Cascadian will be tough here, love the track. Stable are confident with Pride of Jenni too so will be interesting.

    zelda was screeching @ morning tea at the pickle fatcory, this Linbaker is better than Bell and butkus ever were, Boris order the Moets & Krug now, n0?

    all boris could say was take it a week at a time Big Z.😀

    speaking of hot tips........gamble responsibly

    It’s not going there Pogo…..:rolleyes:

  3. Reasonable having another go Wednesday on the Kensington. ( $ 4.20 ) Surprised they are keeping her to 1300m as she needs further.

    Jason Collett riding a plus, so expect her to be ridden quietly this time and we’ll see. Stablemate with blinkers on a chance too. 
    Nymphadora in R3 seems way over the odds @ $31 with Nash riding. Has ability and shorter suits.

    City of Lights in R8 looks one of the better bets of the day.

    :rcfe-like:

    Pure mate, kinda depends on who you talk to bout ATC ownin Puke 🤔 perhaps someone with the inside info could clarify that one....there's the theory, and then there's who knows? it all seems bit murky whatever.....

    Ohoka mate, Puke is Auckland now, an it aint 45mins from CBD anymore 😄

     

    Cheers Iraklis

    Try driving it Friday night in peak traffic, and hope there are no pile ups……50kms easy…..:rolleyes:

    Do you think they ever considered selling the whole kit and lot of Alexandra Park and moving out to Franklin track at Pukekohe , that they own ?? ?

    Beautiful countryside out there,  and I think  room for a Grandstand ? and build some World class Horse barns for leasing to trainers, and housing visitors from Australia and South Island , retention barn for big races , etc , etc

    and they could develop a bigger ( Left hand track ) and have harness racing set to go well into the future. problems all solved...

    Both Melbourne (shifted harness Moonee Valley to Melton ) and Sydney (shifted from Harold Park to Menangle) did this quite successfully.

    Only 50kms from Alexandra Park to Franklin .. so distance is NO PROBLEM for anyone ???

    Fine if you accept no one will attend. Seriously limits it to local population.

    Aucklanders are never going to drive 45m to an hour depending on motorway traffic to get there.

    They don’t go now when it is in the middle of town…..:rolleyes:

    Seems only a matter of time before AP goes completely though.

    Your kidding us.

    Go and look at replay, he snagged it back to last and would never go round them from that far back if he wanted to be taken seriously  in Sydney Metrop racing. You forget he's currently 2nd in Sydney premiership so must have some idea that an inside run was the only option. 100 metres past the post he's close to being in front despite a check 100 out by horse in blue so momentum altered

    PS I didnt have a bet in the race

    Top jock our Jason.. He rode two of Maher’s yesterday - New Energy and Verona that will both be winning shortly.

    Not arguing with your point but just wondering how the draw made a difference if she ended up on the inside.

    If you saw the start Pete, she was slow anyway and Collett immediately went closer to the fence from the draw to save extra ground.

    Only in the straight did she get clear air, and rattled home despite being held up…1400m should suit perfectly.

     

    This is what the riders thought of their mount's performance in the Golden Slipper Stakes.

    1st – LADY OF CAMELOT (Blake Shinn) It was very exciting. I was getting held up there for a bit, but I just had to bide our time and wait for the opportunity to present and when it did she really let down well. I had the horse to quicken and we just needed the gap and she was great. I'm so happy.

    2nd – COLEMAN (Kerrin McEvoy) Huge run by him. Great training effort by Matty. He had to come up to Sydney, back up, had the little foot issue. He felt great the horse, lovely individual. I thought I was the winner at the 300m, he gave a nice kick and Blake just got the splits. Too good the last three or four strides. Brilliant effort by him and by Matt.

    3rd – STORM BOY (Ryan Moore) Didn't begin as cleanly as I would have liked. Had to switch my run toward the inside which wasn't ideal. He's a very talented horse. Didn't have the rub of the green today. Probably improve when he goes a bit further.

    4th – TRAFFIC WARDEN (Craig Williams) For a horse who is still developing, his performance to run fourth today was exceptional.

    5th – MANAAL (Jason Collett) She has gone great. Just the barrier draw really. If she draws a gate she is closer and closer in the finish.

    6th – STRAIGHT CHARGE (Tim Clark) I thought it was a brave performance on speed. I felt the winner at the 300m but he still ran really well.

    7th – ENEEZA (Damian Lane) She ran super. She is so honest, just had to give some ground from the start and poor barrier. Ultimately I couldn't pick them up. She finished strongly.

    8th – SWITZERLAND (James McDonald) He just came off the bridle a long way from home. I think he has come to the end of it.

    9th – HOLMES A COURT (Tom Marquand) He went forward into a nice position, relaxed good and ran a solid race.

    10th – DUBLIN DOWN (Hugh Bowman) He paid the price for the wider barrier. I was proud of his effort. I thought he had enough at the furlong but is one to follow into his three-year-old career.

    11th – FULLY LIT (Sam Clipperton) He ran a really good race. Very brave and have a good kick. Just felt the pinch late.

    12th – RUE DE ROYALE (Chad Schofield) I thought he ran very well. He found it a bit quick in the first half but he came off the bridle and quickened nicely. More suited over 1400m.

    13th – PROST (Adam Hyeronimus) I thought there was merit to the run. He got back and settled nicely but I felt the speed increased for him when they came out of the chute. It sent him spinning a bit until we got to the furlong really when he made ground late.

    14th – BODYGUARD (Mark Zahra) Just didn't finish off today.

    15th – SHANGRI LA EXPRESS (Regan Bayliss) He got into a lovely rhythm out in front, had his ears pricked. Just had to come towards the middle of the track. He got a little bit lost out there. Probably a little bit disappointing overall.

    16th – HAYASUGI (Jamie Kah) Lucky we got around in the end. She nearly fell over out of the gates and nearly fell over again. A non event today.

    Thank you.

    If it stays no worse than a Soft 5 or improves, POST IMPRESSIONIST should be fine and the trip looks ideal. They tried him over 3200m at Ascot and he didn't get home nor does he enjoy heavy ground.

    Seems to be 5/2 or 11/4 with the Aussie bookmakers. First run after over 6 months off the track?

    Very impressive, as was Via Sistina.

  10. Really quick note - Janet has had another victory! :rcfe-like:

    The Real Estate Authority's application for an order that Janet Dickson put up $15,000 in security to pay the REA’s costs if they win has been DENIED by Justice Grau in the High Court.

    The REA tried to argue that Janet Dickson doesn't have the means to pay costs should the case go against her and suggested that Hobson’s Pledge’s fundraising efforts indicated this.

    Thankfully, the judge disagreed.

    The REA have badly underestimated the frustrations of not only their own licensees, but also the strength of feeling on the matter in wider New Zealand. We saw in the response to our emails just how fed up supporters like you are with the forced indoctrination going on in workplaces.

    On a personal note, I was really pleased to see that Hobson's Pledge is making a difference and has ensured that Janet is able to fight off these spurious litigious attempts to outspend her by an REA that has clearly lost its way.

    This judgement demonstrates just how much merit there is in pursuing this judicial review. It is in the public interest and engages issues of rights protected under the Bill of Rights.

    Of huge interest to us was the revelation in the judgement that there are 92 other real estate agents objecting to the imposition of the Te Kakano cultural training course! Incredibly, the REA tried to persuade the judge that this was not relevant because it is only “a small number”.

    Janet is not alone as the REA would like her to think. This information should give confidence to any other real estate agents who would like to speak out but have been suppressed by the threat of job and licence loss. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if that is you. 

    New Zealanders should be able to go to work without having highly politicised cultural ideas forced on them. No one should fear losing their livelihood because they don't agree with their employer's Treaty politics.

    The fight goes on!

    Thanks for your ongoing support,
