Whitelion 19 Report post Posted May 6, 2018 Hi all. This is my first post but have really enjoyed reading the commentary over the past year or so. I have a 3 yr old filly by shocking who has just finished her first race prep. I am about to spell her as she needs more strengthening. But considering new trainer and wanted someone in waikato or auckland with medium sized stable who has a particularly good record with stayers. Any suggestions?

Shad 1,554 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 Baker Foresman be my pick, although wouldn't be a smaller stable, the art of training a stayer seems lost these days. La Zip 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More race choices up there too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your reply to my post seems to imply there is ample racing down south so why do you write in the Informant that the South is short-changed with race dates?
