mikenz 1,090 Report post Posted May 25, 2020 Despite no racing for a while good sized fields,and resuming in winter,just shows the strength and interest in southern racing,two other things we can learn,a break sometimes creates a new excitement,the other is as Southland is a stronghold why shut some of the tracks,no need too.

mikenz 1,090 Report post Posted May 25, 2020 Just on another more positive note Alexy starts again,this horse must be one of the most raced horse ever anywhere,I know danke is ahead in race starts,there was another horse that raced a long time ago that was the most raced until these two came on the scene what was its name?

Idle Scott ,who won the Rowe Cup , easily exceeded 200 starts but Danke must be close to 300....WOW ! Moment of Truth made 200 ,and Highland Reign recently made that mark. Motu Speedy Star ,often an opponent of Alexy is another well past 200. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different in the mainland where they race true to form lol It's probably fair to say that otago or southland should have a all weather track then they could be like the trotting guys and race all year round,there is still life in racing in the south.And don't think by my comments I am against the gallops ,they are ok too but simply the field sizes are below average in many situations I see though a gallop meet is planned for ascot park in july,not really the place to race in that time of year but hey maybe it will be a roaring success.
