Blenheim

[We're Doomed]

Those Blenheim fields have held up well. Decent sizes and only two scratchings all day.

[Charlie E]

Just took a look good fields for sure . 

Race 8 Franco Josiah could be the smokey at good odds

[Shad]

Liked the winner of the first, draw put me off, going ruff with franco Tim, couldn't go any worst than he did down south, deidre franco, solemn son maybe he will trot after breaking last 6 or so starts, and country gold,

Check out the ridiculous form comments on TAB site.

Couple of examples race 3, numbers 1 and 8. 

Interested to know if anyone has a clue what they are on about ?

It's getting bloody ridiculous now.

If ya didn't laugh you'd cry.

I actually thought the comment for Willy Away was quite clever but perhaps you need to be an old fella like me to remember All Black captain Wilson Whineray and his famous "willy away" move from the lineout.

I do agree though that many of the comments are completely inane.

Accidentally turned Trackside on and watched a race from Blenheim...looks a tidy little track, running rail all straight and from what I could see a great country track. 

Does anyone know how many are trained there? Must have a good committee.

I’ve been meaning to ask for a while but when I first looked at the comments for the Auckland Cup not long after they came out, they had Little Spike on top & Republican Party was not mentioned at all.  When I looked later They had changed & RP was the top pick.  Did anyone else notice that?  I’m starting to wonder if I was dreaming but I don’t think so

Not many, there isn’t much of a industry base there, it’s too far to travel.  They use to have a really nice all weather track as well but never use it now.  Bit of a shame as my first ever win as an owner was on that all weather track.

I wouldn't normally bet at Blenheim, but I did today. I stuck with Misty Blue who made an uncharacteristic break at Nelson. I am glad I did because she was well over the odds, good price thank you very much.

Good work, hope you got the tote odds, I had a good look at her, not long before start time, was at 18s an 19s, just thought a bit short an off the unruly, nice win, nice tote price, surprising just how much they fluctuate, even after race starts

You must be rolling in it after the o'reilly trotter killed them again . Matt Cross would have had a good day as well he sounded very happy after his future mother in law won the first. Track ran well I thought even with the 🌧

I just watched a replay of the race. Wow. It was another shocking start with Misty Blue and the Jameson horse still turning into line when the starter let them go. Crazy stuff from the starter. I am surprised she won after being so far back, the outside track was probably drier?

Cross and Sheree Tomlinson are among the owners of Misty Blue. The Tomlinson team have raced well on the top of the south circuit.

Sarah O'Reilly is driving well and got her confidence back after a long lay off. I can't believe she only had two drives today. 

[Keneperu]

Now Janitor re Sarah. We've been down this track before re singing her praise.  So for the sake of my TAB account a little less praise on here eh. There are some very big punters on this fine sight luckily mostly Dunner fans

It's a tough gig, there hard to beat, no doubt he'll be backing up tomorrow, I will, only upside some might be paying more, after poor first day runs.

[We're Doomed]

Great to see people lining the outside rail the length of the straight at Blenheim, even on a bitterly cold day. Even Hawera looks to have a good crowd in.

I can't remember the last time I have seen that many people lining up along the length of the straight at a northern city galloping meeting. And Blenheim and Hawera both have public grandstands as well so there would have been people in there also.

It does show that centralisation isn't necessarily the answer to everything. 

The couple of races I saw at Pukekohe there wasn't anyone leaning against the outside rail. Perhaps it isn't an Auckland thing.

[Shad]

Bit of a buggar Franco Tim got beaten, Deirdre franco tidy run,wouldn't take heza  lock, terrible the first day,interesting how two first day winner back up an win again, why did  they pay so much, is it rise in class or people think first day win was a fluke, winning form good form I say.

Both Misty Blue and Moses are reliable horses, well trained and driven. You can't go wrong following them.
