Warnmambool in 4 weeks He has loads in at different meetings up to Bendigo next Tuesday he has another ex Te Akau unraced horse in Twilight Zone in at Werribee Saturday . Takahe is due to have its 33rd start since 31st March last year , no wins from 37 . Most of these horses probably keep a bit to themselves but he amazes me how well he keeps these horses going , they must be in good nick because vets would give them a decent look the amount of times they turn out .

Last raced Nov 2019, 158 starts and over million in prizemoney . Amazing horse and that's some serious care been given by the trainer . Saw it in race card once thought that name reminds me of a horse going round a few years back, it was the horse from a few years back .

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted April 5, 2020 Three in tomorrow Bendigo, 164 starts between them, no wins . Two drawn the outside gate , the 105 start maiden drawn midfield . Anyone known the OZ or NZ start record for a maiden , I know that old pacer went round for nearly 200 I think, Kelly Evander it's name but 105 for a galloper that's a lot .

Yep, looks like Bryce might be content to make a living owning and training slow racehorses. For his maiden that can't win he gets $630 for running 6th - 10th in the country. And if noms are really bad might even sneek the odd $1575 for running 4th Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 70s there were 2 Half brothers stabled and racing in the Gisborne , Wairoa area. Mokapuna and Morgangaba. I can not remember if they won a race. I stand to be corrected.

bazach 133 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 Plenty of Standardbreds still maidens with more than 50 starts. I guess if you are the owner, trainer, and driver and it’s a hobby, it’s no big deal. TB Goldchi a 52 start 9 year old maiden still trying for that elusive win. Gee Bob McCosh is a blast from the past with his cowboy hat. He certainly raced his horses very regularly!

He will get a win out of Faltonius at some point , run had some merit first up from spell , might throw a coin on for insurance as will ruin my it wins or places and I've missed it . That race Hanaki Warrior in has got me beat all ends up, who's turn is it race that one , I've put line through it as just cannot decide . Have half a look at his 105 start maiden next up ran ok last week , there's plenty slower horses than that one , I honestly can see it nabbing one . Good luck to Bryce today .

Chris Wood 1,545 Report post Posted April 13, 2020 Mokopuna won good few races, normally at long odds. Kaipipi was another of Bobs, along with Hasty Count, Partons Mistake and his best one Bobs Luck, who he won the GN Steeples with GN ( Snow) Scanlon on board. Good bloke Bob, a mans man!

Blue 1,080 Report post Posted April 19, 2020 I thought he was some hope but Faltonius no speed at all. Ran into fourth under sufferance. $230k yearling shows our experts don't know it all.

Yeah wee bit disappointed with Faltonius however for me he showed just enough to chase my money next time . Stable picked up 20k or so in prizemoney so far this month , best place finish couple 4ths so he ticks over as a stable .
