Trials - Cambridge (Synthetic) 13 Heats vs Foxton (Grass) 26 Heats

When will NZTR wake up and program what the majority of connections want for a young horses education?....regular grass trials!

Feel for owners of northern trained runners having to fork out excess travel costs just to trial and educate them so many miles and hours away.

Northerner Canterbury Man ( now that’s an oxymoron) will definitely have the answer to your question.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to answer as I might upset you @Insider

But will it be a correct answer ?

Well you have an obsession about something.  Your answer is?

28 Northern trained horses entered for Foxton trials tomorrow, that's probably adding an extra 4 or 5 heats to the day. Should be a good day's trailing on a nice deck and a decent track. 

3: Te Aroha (Peter Lock)

4: Te Awamutu (Brent Gillovic)

10: Matamata (Kurtis Pertab, Paul Pertab, Cody Cole, Daniel Miller)

11: Cambridge (Sam Mynott, Clinton Isdale, Alex Oliveira, Hollie Wynyard)

  Yes 84 horses Cambridge 139 horses Foxton though double the number of heats not the double number of starters

How expensive would that be for all those horses to travel to the CD? Seems bizarre.

Some nice performers out of the trials today. I thought Paltrow Miss was most impressive for Robbie Patterson in heat 11. 

Challenging for Lowry/Zydenbos in Heat 12. Spencer's in for a good campaign.

Few new names at Foxton today in terms of the jockey's:

Hannah Wilson, Frankie Barrett, S Wong, Archie Loweth. 

Hopefully we might see them raceday in the not so distant future.

Check out the results. The winners came from all over the North Island  -  North, South, East and West.

Soon the South Island will be participating given Colin Whiteman's drive to put people off the Polytracks.

Now you can see why I am right against racing returning to Foxton. 

It's an incredible trials track in the CD, for us to prepare our young ones.

Sam Mynott's team seem to be ticking over nicely too.

She can train that young lady, very underrated in my view.

How many synthetic trials have now been cancelled in a row at Riccarton, and they “tried to get these off the ground”………are they drunk on a stash of Tui at Dick Street

[Nerula]

Got a share of one that trialed at Cambidge the other day. She is local and familiar with the going Would not have wanted her to go to Foxton to run around in the hope of 2 rating points. We got them too.

All the top or "names" trainers had runners except Te A.
