JJ Flash 733 Report post Posted January 19 That time of the year for the babies to make their debut at The Park and usual stables turning up with the exception of the Cullen team. 12 Colts lining up and 7 fillies in other race. From what i have observed at the trials Barry Purdon's pair look to have plenty of ability and will get me if the prices are right. In a similar vein a B Norman trained trotter won a 2yr Wyndham workout beating the pacers. You would not see that very often Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Flash 733 Report post Posted January 19 Have just been advised by Amati that the B Norman trotter referred to above is in fact a 3yr old starting today at Winton. Named Sacred Mountain. How it got to run in an unqualified 2 yr old heat is another Southern mystery Iraklis 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hsvman 243 Report post Posted January 20 With basically the first lot of 2yo races starting out now why don’t hrnz change the season to a calendar year . As it stands now 2yos really only have half a year of the their season and even then the feilds are generally small as not many are ready by then JJ Flash 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eljay 1,218 Report post Posted January 20 Yeah! So far they have just been concentrating on education & qualifying and finishing their workouts "together". You have to look at Argyle simply because it's drawn the ace JJ Flash 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a bad time either and Artisan was simply too good for the fillies albeit in a slower time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eljay 1,218 Report post Posted January 22 Next 2 yo races scheduled for north at Auckland 5th Feb. Draws will come into play of course. As I said they just educating at workouts - Crans horse at wouts last week was unplaced to Ohoka Creed, come racenight and placings reversed. Before races last night Josh qualified an Art Major colt in a 2 minute and change mile rate. Will this horse come into calculations? Artisan did win at workouts the week before. She's a nice filly.
