hairy jerry 5 Report post Posted June 3, 2018 The right thing to do given the weather in the north which is attrocious, Te Rapa is also abandoned. Hopefully sanity takes place and they either race the meeting tomorrow or Tuesday or if not the heats are pushed back a week, which will also require an adjustment to the chch stayers cup. it would be an absolute debacle if the final is drawn out of a hat.

Hopefully the track is not as bad as it looks on TV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good trainer that Ray Think he ran around 18.40 in the heat last year and 18.30 in the final....great effort by him and a true starter he is...he is one that will handle backing up...be interesting how many of the others do...

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted June 5, 2018 I noticed Pirates Chance of all the dogs in the heats seemed to be the most inconvenienced by the track. Seemed to change stride several times and looked unsure. Big finish when it got out wider. Wouldn't write him off if the final is on a better track Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted June 7, 2018 Well at that rate your quote for the quinella should be a grand I'll take a dollar of that ' the bell has to be a genuine winning chance although he is not my first pick , you have been around long enough to know that the Bell must be in with a huge chance, get ya blinkers off and your wallet ready Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was correct in the Wanganui Stayers, Ring the Bell d failed in the final, and I cleaned up off Dusty. Anything can happen in a race Hound .

Flabbergasted 67 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 All honours to Ring The Bell on his second Silver Collar victory a truly remarkable dog and great training effort. Also what a massive run by Dusty Gambler for second after all but falling when colliding heavily with Trip To Eden with a lap to go it still somehow managed to get to the front after only to have the effort tell over the last 40 metres. Cristiane Cyborg was closing hard too at the finish to snare a bold 3rd. Congrats to all placegetters. MiniJax 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jape 344 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 Tremendous race. Lived up to all the hype which is unusual in a final. Congratulations to Ray on his first Silver Collar. Remarkable really that it was his first so even more special. RTB. What more can one say about this really genuine stayer? The best I have seen. The placegetters were tops as well which made for such an exciting race. (As it turned out. there was a huge tip given out for RTB by none other than Thayne Green whose summation of the dog's appearance and attitude over the last six days proved so accurate!).
