Although didn't he win his maiden on a Soft 7?  Stormed home on a Soft 6?

Are you thick? You were the one saying on your site that it was probably a Heavy 8 before Race 1.

You can't have it both ways champ.

Not sure what you are talking about.  But the track officially started the day at a Soft 5.  Then was upgraded 1 rating after each race.  By the Sarten it was an S7.

The betting market would only see the posted ratings.  Or are you suggesting it gets its information from random forums?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm actually happy if your hallowed 'betting markets' have the horse at longer odds. Better value - you're probably not familiar with that concept.

It also called a downgrade not an upgrade 🤣

Sorry but rather than argue with you for the sake if arguing I'd just say that you raised the point that it drifted from 8's to 20's in the market inferring it was to do with track conditions.

Stop , the knots are getting too tight , he'll pass out .

The thing is when all someone wants to do is create an argument and be divisive  , they twist and turn so much they end up looking at them selves , and looking foolish . 

Which he does .

What's wrong with a good argument? I thought that's what these sites were for. Differing opinions.

Nothing wrong with a good "debate" or differing opinions , but read the second line again .

I for one encourage debate...but stirring for the sake of it is CM MO and he is just here for that reason he has nobody to talk to..other than his own created many identities where he comes from.

Fair enough. That's your opinion. I quite like his/her posts which generally seem to be soundly based, unlike some. Be better in my view to keep the focus on debating racing issues and sharing information though, rather than playing the man instead of the ball.

This was supposed to be a thread about the Te Rapa track. As Chris said, the personal attacks are getting a bit boring.

I'll keep out of the "tit for tat" between the three of you, but I will go out on a limb and say; That because he's by Tivaci he won't cut the mustard, even though he was born on my birthday - LOL

I'm not sure whether being by Tivaci will hold Sought After back.  However I just posted an observation that I thought the horse would perform better than it did especially since it was the first to be named in a Kiwi B slot.

It's had a maiden win at Taupo from which very little form has yet to emerge and a 5th and a  distant 6th.   The last start against the top 3yr old colt and one of the leading fillies.  The latter better suited to a firmer track.  It will have to show something in its next race at Grp level  before it is prepared for the Kiwi.

racingoutsider, as the late John McCormack once said to me; If you spit on the ground, Grey Way wont go a yard on it.

P.S. As a Canterbury man [not to be confused with Doug] you will surely remember John.

Yes. Though I was more of a Manawatu person during Grey Way's peak years, I well remember those perennial clashes with Copper Belt at Awapuni, though I hitch-hiked to Ellerslie to watch him win the Easter ahead of the likes of Tudor Light and Vice Regal with a brilliant ride from Bob Skelton.   There is an exception to every rule though, and he did win the Chirnside Stakes at Caulfield on soft footing.

The same was said about Courier Bay - I sent $440 dollars (from an all up bet) with are a relative to put it on with the bookies when he had his first start in Oz - only to have rain on the day 🙄

It was the equivalent of about 3 weeks of my apprentice wages back then 😪
