Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted December 13, 2018 Won 6 of the 8 race card at Manawatu last night. A big improvement on Tuesday's effort where they won only half the 8 race card That has to be some sort of record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply can't have this sort of monopoly. Love it Blue, and yes we can have a trainer winning a higher percentage of races for their owners. Everyone's a winner with the Mickey.Blair show, the club especially. I suspect the longevity of a few horses is also an added bonus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stables 577 Report post Posted December 14, 2018 Big difference in stakes won. I can't see how the owners turn a profit once they pay for transport for the horses up there and back, trainers percentage, drivers percentage, trainers and drivers accomodation and flight fares, cost of travel and accomodation for yourself if you want to go and watch the horse race and other various sundry costs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had a lot of interesting ideas over the years including pin hooking for RTR. Would never die wondering and has allowed his owners the opportunity of seeing their horses win races..Isn't what that it is all about Thejanitor 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
