Probably the same chap who thought Canterbury needed a month off after Cup Week because they were all so tired and needed a wee lie down.

Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted November 26, 2019 I see theres a trainer in today who is way way overdue a win, he looks to have the right horse, just hooe it doesnt fight him as hard as in the Te Rapa parade ring i felt tired watching the workout best of luck . ....Bit unlucky one would say, could question the ride but not terrible, Valmur will keep and will see Les in the winners circle soon enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why run midweek for a paltry $10,000? Not sure how many of them will be offered the $200,000+, most will probably have to one day start off in a $10,000 maiden. It does seem grossly unfair (incompetent) that the industry funds maiden races for four horses in the Waikato when there are probably at least 120 maidens and 65s in Canterbury who would happily turn out for a meeting today in Canterbury at Timaru or Ashburton. All the maidens who were eliminated during Cup Week don't have the luxury of tossing up between two meetings a day apart about 40 minutes drive away from each other.

arjay 447 Report post Posted November 27, 2019 Why would one choose to bet on shite fields like today. Gee racing clubs need a boot up their arse, transfer that date to Sth Island, think about what you are trying to sell................ a bet for the betting person, interesting fields, bit of form helps. Oamaru would be a good central venue down south today. Tauhei Notts 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
