Trump asked "How much better are the UK/European/Japan TRAINERS"? The answer is in the results - the recent running of the Major staying races in Australia! The Australian trainers have their share of European Bred stayers in their stables nowadays BUT still the raiders DO come and win these races!

Do you really honestly believe you can say "Stakes have gone up"? My involvement in racing horses include..... first horse I raced won a $7000 maiden at Hastings in 1991 cost of training fees was $20 per day - Maiden races are still $7000 in 2014! My mare ran second in the Group 3 Fillies and Mares race at Hawera in 2005 race worth $70k then (run a couple of weekends ago worth $80k) (Yes I can see the small increase of approx 13%) but the cost of training fees back then was $30 per day compared to $55 per day today farrier bills have also DOUBLED in this time not to mention we didn't pay track fees in those days........... I've done OK thru the Industry BUT it is doing nothing to excite me about remaining involved and investing in its future. I would honestly hate to think how much trainers would have to set their training fees at to consider all their daily maintenance and running costs and to aim to make a 20% PROFIT at year's end (not factoring in stake money won) I personally think the majority budget to break even thru training fee costs and their profit is the 10% of prizemoney the horses win during the season.

Boys NOT happy with G Boss's ride....given him the sack!

Personally couldn't believe he was second favourite! Congrats to owners getting a start on the big stage but realistically what had he beaten in Melbourne to warrant starting second fave? Know the owners personally and some are more realistic than others - the horse has "paid its way and earnt the right to start in these races" so good on them. I know their father (and mother) would have been so proud.....but he was realistically as Cubes would say a "runners chance". (remember what J Mac said after he rode him in Sydney Cup..........

Gonna add Seismos to Caulfield Cup selection (for my scratchings)

overtheriver in last at Ashburton short but you'd expect it to win with stable's goal of a second Coupland's mile
