hsvman 294 Report post Posted August 2, 2018 Great to see at the start of another season Cambridge raceway stakes are still so pathetic . Maidens pretty much racing for 6k as the $1500 Hrnz bonus is added to its advertised stake so it’s looks like they offer up $7,500 maidens. How the club get rewarded the jewels after week in week out disgraceful stake is beyond me ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsvman 294 Report post Posted August 2, 2018 Aussie in most states is a bit different tho as you can race almost every day of the week. Trainers could use those races as fast works or trials and then go easy on them during the week, where as here especially in the north island in winter if you think your horse isn’t good enough to race at Auckland (I don’t know why as you still race the same rating point horse) you wait Upto a month at time to race at Cambridge for a joke of a stake. If Cambridge raced twice a week every week for 4K it would be better than once a month for 6-7k . Taku Umanga 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
