tasman man 742 Report post Posted June 12, 2021 I see the Brisbane Cup coming up with 6 x starters after one scratching. This 3200m was a Group 2 race , often with a lot of Kiwi Interest. It is worth $435 k, certainly nice coin by NZ's standards. NZ has one entrant in Rondinella which is about 4th favourite. It likes 3200m ,and has been placed twice in Sydney Cup. Her rider is a G.Boss......possibly a local? What ya opinion on this race having only 6 x runners on a good track ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby3051 10,863 Report post Posted June 12, 2021 A shame to see it as it is now...looks like the 2200 m Q race took a few away but maybe its just on the wrong day now maybe push it back to Tatts Tiara day now with the new race now on Stradbroke day. arjay 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, TM, the Williams runners are only purchased to run in 'his' race, the Melbourne Cp... His purchasing powers have frightened away a lot of owners and, as a result, Australia's staying stocks - imports exempted - are truly ratsh*t. And, yep, it surprises me that more KIwi raiders don't target the non-Sydney and Melbourne Cup races. Remember that v. good horse Reckless who ran in, and won most of, every two mile race there was across the ditch?

In name only. R7 had drone filming for much of back straight and it looked like the Kooolaharee Desert ! And the home straight looked as rough as a goat track ! How un-Australian on a Group 1 day !
