aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, a great final. I see 5 NZ breeds make it through. Congratulations to those breeders and owners, and especially to the southern most ones Gorgina and Roy Hamilton. Is this the first time a Southern dog has made the final of the NZ Derby, i cannot think of any, correct me if i'm wrong. Nothing finished better than Southern Lights, and will only improve for the final. NZ breeding at the top end has come on leaps and bounds through having the NZRS races, these need to be increased both in number and value. jasonmccook1 and clarkie 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZ breeding at the top end has come on leaps and bounds through having the NZRS races, these need to be increased both in number and value. Southern lights led and got run down. Still a great run. I'd say the box draws will dictate much of this race, why I have gone with nangar star in final (4kiwi breeds made it through, with three of them being opawa dogs) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Correct me if i'm wrong, but Southern Lights was finishing over the top, and clearly first to the bunny. Was i seeing things?. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still lead and got run down by first corner, wouldn't want to do that in the final as their will be some quick dogs early and his lack of mid-race pace can be costly at a track like Cambridge, especially if top prosecutor draws inside him Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman 1,352 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Cambridge is a swoopers track, Southern Lights will finish better than Nangar Star as he did last night. jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GONSTA 1,148 Report post Posted March 21, 2016 I'm surprised at the massive price difference between Kava Blu and Top Prosecutor based on their heat runs and the improvement I'd expect out of each dog. $1.7 compared to $8 is quite tempting as long as he jumps a bit better this week.
