ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted November 3, 2019 I only had 2 bets and snagged the winner of the first but it was a minefield for the rest of the day. Here is the form for all the winners ( last few starts ) 07872050069571244466770833362875505967910051 .................... good luck with these SI regional gymkana's.

THE TORCH 665 Report post Posted November 3, 2019 Good on them! You sound like a “David Ellis band wagonner”. All winners can only come from the Karaka sales and meeting will be programmed to suit them too.

Pam Robson 1,547 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 These S.I. ' gymkhanas" have, in recent weeks, had representatives of not just Te Akau but Pike, Miller, Cullen/Lowry, Marsh, Autridge......you'd wonder why they would bother lowering their aspirations to such a level. chelseacol, THE TORCH and We're Doomed 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shad 1,554 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 Thought I was on a winner up the straight, with zah wanted, got on fixed 70s and 7s, but alas got swamped. Looking forward to cup racing, hope to make the first day. THE TORCH 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jape 344 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 To say it was hot at Mot was probably the understatement of the year. Nevertheless the group of 22 that i was involved with exited the bus and got the gazebo up, parked themselves in the shade and set about enjoying the day's racing. What had been programmed as 9 races had become 11 and not one 2-divvie race either. Yes, sorting winners wasn't too easy but followers of Asano, Fawcett, Allpress, Weatherly certainly did ok. The track was in magnificent order and horses "coming home" in 34 and change suggests good racing, which it was with a number of close finishes and judge Mark Gallagher had plenty to do throughout the programme. The support from the owners, trainers, jockeys and racegoers made this "another excellent outing to a pleasant day's racing" as I was told more than once. Now if that meeting disappears, as is strongly rumoured, what will replace it? PS It was a sad ending for young Brett Murray who came to grief in the very last race, in the very last 175m. It happened not far from our group and I can assure you, every one of us felt very strong emotion for the injured rider. I understand Brett may have broken a collar bone and those who witnessed the incident were so pleased it was no worse. Get well soon, young man.

Pam Robson 1,547 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 Wholeheartedly agree, very popular day ....collarbone and ribs for Brett...bloody sore but will heal, lucky to be no worse. Unfortunately Mamma Sans not so lucky, suspected fractured fetlock. We're Doomed 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jape 344 Report post Posted November 5, 2019 Thank you for the update, Pam. We could not see the horse for the movement around Brett but it had been a spectacular fall and sadly an unfortunate ending to a fine day's racing.
