Problem I have is frontrunners nowadays. Yesterday year, most set a genuine pace, even put plenty of space on the rest of the field.
Now, it’s a rush to the front, then pull up, it stuffs up the race.
Well said you hit the nail on the head or as MR SIMON would say Right On The Lolly

Most of these horses will pushed to their limits, physically and mentally, at a very young age, guess there will be many that don't make it, through no fault of their own, seems a shame that time is not on their side.
Time is not on my side lol

Just a touch of reality ........... I looked at last years results and without being specific randomly selected 19 horses with a total sales value $5.5 million so the average was $305,500 + .
To make the horses easier to " track " I made sure they were sold to Aust/NZ clients and also made sure they appeared in the Australian or NZ register.
The following is bit of a summary after 12 months.
1) Named but Unraced
2) " " "
3)Named but Non Starter
4)Named 2nd in a 6 horse race
5)Named 2nd a 3rd and a 4th in 5 horse trials
6)Named but unraced

We know they all don't make 2 year olds but they would have been prepared for the Karaka Million and have clearly all been tried. It is possible that some have been exported BUT its less likely than other scenario's.
SHE'S A TOUGH GAME unless you win about 5 races.

Of course Ohokaman! Seriously do you think Kylie went out in each race to piss punters like you off! At least a dozen jockeys have ridden horses I have shares in in the last year. I can’t fault ANY of their rides! I think your problem is a failure to pick the right horses to back! Jockeys are a soft target when your selections fail to perform.
Oh, so true Well said Grandstand jocks don't ya just love them.

Alan Sharrock, amongst others, is calling for a reduction in the number of tracks in NZ due to the spate of racemeeting cancellations recently caused by inadequate surfaces. How will this help NZ racing? Forcing trainers to try and sell their properties and try to buy a more expensive property near one of the main cities where the few remaining tracks remain? Most will throw the towel in.
Trying to say there are too many tracks in NZ is nonsense. Victoria has 67 tracks with a population of 5.7million. Stakes are $23,000 for provincial maiden races, $120,000 for Saturday metropolitan races. Crowds of 3000 are not uncommon at picnic meetings. I haven't counted how many tracks there are in NSW, but it is a lot. 4 tracks in Sydney alone.
The problem in NZ is not too many tracks, it is not enough money. Until the entire industry is taken apart and put together again with a whole new structure, nothing will change. Winston Peters is not the saviour and never will be. To get more money flowing in, betting turnover must be increased. That will not happen as long as the TAB have a government-mandated monopoly. They offer a mediocre product and have no incentive to sharpen up their act. Once you let in bookmakers it creates competition and interest, and increases turnover. It is already possible to operate an account with one of the many Aussie bookmakers from NZ, so why not just accept what is already happening and make the most of it?
As the rot continues more and more of the capable and ambitious jockeys will jump ship. Michael Dee, Daniel Stackhouse, Michael Walker and Cory Parish are already doing very nicely thank you. They won't be the last to make the move. And in the meantime nothing will change.
Well said You hit the nail on the head P M

Here we go again....I’m sure Mr Saundry won’t mind me providing cafers with the name Kate Goodrich. She is a licensed trainer in Victoria who was bullied by her local club committee and now floats from Kilmore to Seymour every day to work her horses. Please Google and read. It will provide an interesting insight .
Yes i know all about that absolutely disgusting how Kate was treated. Mafia style Two sheriffs from the club playing hitmen

Brett
The unwritten rule of Cafe is that you write within your verifiable experience and or intellectual range.
On that basis you’ll be assessed by the committee, and categorized.
Based on your recent outbursts we’ve popped you in the “wanker” box, just wanker, but in very real danger of being transferred to “right fucking wanker”.
Now being a wanker is ok, you’re not alone in that box, in fact half of Rangiora and two thirds of Petone will be there with you if you reach out to them ( be careful reaching out in the dark to strangers, I presume the teachers told you about “stranger danger” during the two years, one month and four days, you were at school ).
Anyway back to you Brett, the rule here is that we find wankers to be very busy people, especially new wankers, and we encourage new wankers to work day on, day off, because too much wanking makes you blind.
Your wanking on also makes the older intolerant members quite niggly, and I don’t think you want that.
Can we please thus agree that you’ll now take the odd day off, and I’ll mesage you Fred Hollows number soon.
Bloody well said poundforpound and a good laugh as well .

Yea Mark Mc get's my pick no doubt about that.And the best up and coming caller would definitely have to be Matt Cross,he's coming on in leaps and bounds and is a very good replacement for Mark Mc.And my commentator of the past would have to be Reon Murtha....I am in my late 30s but I never really heard Peter Kelly commentate,but have heard from others that he was classy at what he did.
Yes, Peter was the best.

Give those presenters a break you lot. Jayne Ivil copped a ton of flack here yet is now an star in Victoria and as for critizing their selections well I consider those people to be no more knowledgeable than I am myself so never listen(not hat I claim to be any sort of judge just a mug like everyone else). Dufficy doesn't tip the card every week as far as I know even though he is entertaining. As for the Fahey girl's clothing down south well it looked perfectly acceptable to me. Anyone with wives and daughters who like dress shops would be totally accustomed to that type of gear.
NZ racing has a bloody sight bigger problem than who the Trackside presenters are and what they say. Liz Whelan is a loss however
Well said Tom all they do is chop them down. If they are so good why not try themselves. See how they go

I see Intergaze was the sire of Maybe Better, who ran third in the Cup one year.
Any other horse, from a big stable, better bred, and having run a strong 2nd in the Caulfield Cup, would be one of the favourites!
I've talked myself into believing she can win this
Don't change your mind

Hi all
Im not a huge gallop punter but backed a horse I want to follow my money on next start. Is the NZRacing site where you write the horses name in and it says ‘current nominations’ always up to date or are you better off just checking the fields all the time?
cheers
Racetracker on tab acc and will get a tx to cell phone on the day
