weasel57 429 Report post Posted November 9, 2019 8 hours ago, crustyngrizzly said: imo she did enough today to warrant another run or 2 before they turn her out,looked to me as though she still has improvement in her especially over more ground. ffs.. running her now is ruining her. She doesn't need to prove she can gallop. She needs to be rested not raced 'one or two more starts' on firmer and faster tracks. Makes me sick watching them ruining a potential Oaks contender by Reliable Man racing for peanuts on a Good 3 track. ivanthegreat and Insider 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherry_bomb 89 Report post Posted November 9, 2019 She has come out of the race well and takes the logical path forwards onto the 1000 Guineas next week, aiming to beat Can I Get An Amen home and reclaim the title of best maiden in NZ.

One likes to think a "potential Oaks contender" might be capable of picking up a maiden somewhere. And they did try racing her not for "peanuts" at HB, but that didn't work out too good.

For her sake, I hope there is rain down south - much better prospect if there is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether there will be much precipitation remains to be seen. Great racing yesterday BTW. Baz (NZ) and chelseacol 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore. Jennifer Eccles is now the best maiden in the country after Aalaalune finally won her first race impressively today at Te Rapa by 4 Lengths. She'll probably win them in a row now she's found the line? ADM 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Hogg 320 Report post Posted November 24, 2019 Baz Yeah eazy win ,top ride by Ryan Elliot .He seems to get his horses to run for him but also gets into a lot of problems in the last 200 meters of a race with bad options ie Johnny Lincoln .He is the most improved jockey going round and I'm sure he will fix the problem .Has 23 wins so far this year ,pretty good for a young bloke .Cheers BH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 1,084 Report post Posted November 24, 2019 You don't often get a Lotto winner prepared to put money into horses or racing. He's already been prudent enough to dump some rubbish and so it's good to see him get a little success. May not be a superstar but more in store by the way she won yesterday.
