If you win the New Zealand cup as a 7 win horse should you also get the same points? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATC is also rewarded for increased stakes with better larger fields. Win win methinks Iraklis 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you accept that NI trainers would have no hesitation bringing young horses south when the stakes are reversed eg , NZMTC puts up the money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently we have a very good 2yr old filly but have made the decision to by pass two very good races just in the off chance it happened again. One thing that would make a difference would be return flights to Auckland but unfortunately currently we still have to float up and can only fly home.

Thats really bad luck and from what i can gather really unlucky to have 2 come unstuck whilst transferring north. Best of luck with your 2yr old but you are at the mercy of club programs and that's never a safe place to be. Look at Princes Tiffany's current predicament.

I hear it costs around $800 to float up North from Canterbury. What's the cost of flight back ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends entirely on how many are on the flight as they fly them in pallets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
