I responded to this earlier Bazach. There's not too many more that you could mention in the same breath as Uncle Remus and Regal Band. Banderol was not by him, as I corrected myself earlier - he was out of Regal Band. [ I worked with her at Haunui Farm as it happens. ] So 'two horse wonder' isn't too harsh really. Thanks Gubellini for confirmation that One Pound Sterling was not quite as good as Nomates remembers... Bit like that saying..."The older I get - the better I was!"

That's a honey Kakama! Love it!
-
I hear you Scooby - but he was not Champion Stallion at any stage was he?
-
Yes, No mates, I was probably a bit too harsh on One Pound Sterling. I forgot Castletown completely. However, I think you're a bit mistaken about him being Champion Australasian Sire, defeating Sir T! Don't recall him even being Champion NZ Sire, let alone Australasian Champion. What year was that?
-
Perhaps not, Yir Tiz - Regal Band was a good one indeed. Banderol was actually her son! So not by Bandmaster at all. He was actually in our yearling draft when I worked at Haunui years ago. In my defence, I DID say Bandmaster was perhaps a 'two-hit wonder'! [ although even Regal Band was nowhere near as good as Uncle Remus. ]

R1: 6 R2: 1 R3:10 R4:9 R5:10 R6:9 R7:6 R8:7 R9:7 R10:13 Cheers! -
Two more 'contenders'.... One Pound Sterling - McGinty. Bandmaster II - Uncle Remus [ and Banderol, so technically a two horse wonder! ] Amazing where they come from!!

Ha ha! You may be right. Hesi...but I'd have a plan B if I were you! Anyway, before the 'Thunderbird's' ship blasts off without me, here are my calculated guesses, insightful, well researched and perceptive selections for today! R1: 2,5 [1] R2: 1,2 [3] R3: 5,13 [2] B/B R4: 1,3 [4] R5: 5,9 [4] R6: 1,2 [3] R7: 2,3 [4] B/B R8: 8,9 [10] R9: 3,15 [2] R10: 1,2 [9] All the best to the fabulous new Thunderbirds crew, a 'sporting smidgeon' of good fortune to our opposition - and go easy on that scythe aye VS!!

That's correct Breeder. He's on the Gavelhouse auction now.
-
Yes - those screams were of a person in severe pain. All the very best Rogan. Terrible to see and hear that today. It's a tough life at times.
-
I passed both mine in Aaron and subsequently sold one by negotiation - the other I have on here again and lowered the reserve to a fraction of my costs. I'm hopeful he will sell to someone who will give him a fair shot at success; he's a lovely colt.

Cheers BaaBaas - great go from the 'Cubemeister' and with 5 winners apiece it could have easily gone either way in our matchup. Glad I could have a decent day on Finals Day and help the Team to a well deserved victory. Thanks heaps PJ for all your hard work! Well done to my fellow Ferdies - it's been a most enjoyable comp. Tough luck Memphis - you had us all going there for a while; a superb comeback to get to the final. Here's to the next Winter Comp under new conditions... should be interesting...

Here goes with a mix of certainties and hopeful longshots [ the latter added in for a bit of excitement and tension... !!! ] R1: 6,8 [4] R2: 7,10 [12] R3: 4,12 [3] B/B R4: 5,9 [10] B/B R5: 4,13 [12] R6: 5,11 [1] R7: 1,4 [3] R8: 3,11 [10] R9: 4,6 [7] R10: 2,4 [7] All the best Cubes - may the best man win! [ and as an aside, may I say that with you as Captain, I thought the only name for your team in the new comp just HAD to be 'The Rubics' !! - I thought it presented a golden opportunity for the bye line to beat all bye lines "We're The Rubics - no-one can figure out how to beat us! ] Thanks for another brilliant Comp PJ - do appreciate your efforts. Thanks TEAM - and GO the mighty Ferdies!!!!!

Winter Trans-Tasman Super Comp
Lloyd Vivian replied to Peter Jenkins's topic in Thoroughbred Competitions and Tips
Like Flynn..., as they say. -
Pathetic nonsense - a robot monkey would be much more to their liking!!! I've been watching racing for a looong time - but no doubt some have been watching longer than me - has anyone in all those years ever seen someone fall off close to the line because they were celebrating??? Thought not. I have seen jockeys very cooly drop their hands and get beat though. But never have I seen someone standing up in the irons waving and going over the side. That's because jockeys only do it when it's a big deal and when it's 'in the bag' - and they're PUMPED!! Good on 'em! I hate this anti-celebratory nonsense; lucky they don't insist on it for the owners aye!! What about being a danger to all those around them in the stands??....blah blah..Still, I daresay, as has been pointed out, the very happy owners would be more than willing to cover his fine I'm sure!! Good on you Tommy! Enjoy every moment of it.
