diesel 212 Report post Posted May 23 How amazing at Addington that Robert and Jenna trained 7 winners on the 10 race card, and John Dunn drove 7 winners, 6 for Robert and Jenna and 1 for Bob Butt. Must be a record of some sort. Amazing achievement, well done to all. Insider and lamour 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally my initial bet was Telfers @ $2.50 when first opened will break even if they win but win huge if Dunns win Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Flash 2,466 Report post Posted May 23 Is anyone really surprised at the Dunn's success in terms of wins. Just look at how many starters they line up in a season and how much they have spent at yearling sales in last 5 years or so compared to other stables. That includes Mark and Barry who have concentrated on quality not quantity. This is not decrying Dunn's success just pointing out IMO why they are leading trainers in terms of wins Thejanitor 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really looked at that but how about you put up the figures for us jj would make for interesting reading but don't forget the home breds that don't go thru sales, hard to put a price on them .You also say it's a numbers game again be interesting to see how many go through Stables not just the one's that race.

All you need to do is look at NZB sales results and Premiership data on HRNZ to see Starting numbers UDR wins etc. to answer part of your questions Not sure anyone but the trainers could answer how many home breds each stable trained or how many were sacked or injured and never raced. Either way congrats to them and their staff on another successful season , its a numbers game and they obviously have the numbers. TB's have the same scenario.

Friend Family 372 Report post Posted May 24 Its a strange scenario with the Telfers .....they have state of the art facilities so the horses obviously get looked after like royalty .....BUT that doesn't necessarily translate into WINNERS which is whats happening with their strike rate. I hope they can improve as we need them to bolster numbers (especially in the north) but as you say ......the results are not good enough and the Dunn's are obviously 'good things' for the title.

Spikecity 960 Report post Posted June 3 By Mike Love Yaldhurst trainer Regan Todd learned of Marketplace's victory in yesterday’s Group 2 Rakaia Seed Cleaning Sapling Stakes at Ashburton initially via text message. Blah blah blah Meanwhile Robert and Jenna Dunn produced another outstanding training effort winning the Group 2 Helen Pope Fillies Classic with Downbytheseaside filly Gone Surfin. The Dunns also trained the trifecta in the $30,000 Rural Business Accountants Champion Stakes with Harrison John, Miki’s Courage and Hadron Collider. They are now 11 wins clear at the top of the trainers' premiership on 87, ahead of Steve and Amanda Telfer, while John Dunn has a three win lead in the drivers' premiership, with Blair Orange second on 79. Gave me a fright - my reckoning is 23 - come on Mike not a good look JJ Flash 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend Family 372 Report post Posted June 4 Yeah you are right Spike ....11 is gettable but I doubt 23 is. TAB should pay you guys out NOW......that way you might even re-invest some of it ...and give the Bookies a chance. Good punting anyway ....you deserve all the proceeds.
