He's a great dog thats for sure. He has nothing left to prove with 2 group ones in the bag and a few NZ records to boot. But he has been far less consistent since his trips to Auckland Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt say you could fault him still. Eyespy and jasonmccook1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats 1 start where he hasn't stood on the podium, and you call that inconsistent? Last nights track conditions were very testing and you could forgive any dog for a poor run last night, and given he is an out and out speed dog his run for 3rd was more than acceptable. Talk about tall poppy syndrome, you are bagging a dog just because he isn't winning 10 in a row anymore, get a life!

Not disagreeing with what you say Luke, but the Stipe in charge last night describes the track as providing "Excellent Footing". Watching on TV it looked like slop. alltheway!!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he hasn't been as consistant since travelling to Auckland. He hasn't shown that same potent speed which made him a superstar. I was unaware of the conditions last night and the stripes report does state how good the track was as aquaman mentioned Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I have seen and could be wrong if headed can't run down a dog. alltheway!!! and Gary Sharp 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
