Yes folks there is usually always something coming out of this well patronized meet. Hopefully no dramas this year? I just looked at Nelson and the fields are good, there's some good horses on display and value to be found. I have a question: You have a junior drives' race and the best junior driver for the past decade, Sarah O'Reilly, is watching the race from the stands. What is wrong with trainers? Hope you do well at Nelson mate. JJ Flash and jack 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should watch and see who is likely to be a great chance on the second day. That's what ill be doing I must say you come across as Racecafe's version of Inspector Clouseaux based on your posts How's things going with you investigation about RIB leaks to press Peter.

kilcoyne 191 Report post Posted January 7, 2022 History and FACTS????? What facts. You seem to know it all so lets see some of your FACTS. As for any investigation into RIB leaks to the Press well thats none of your business unless you want to give us your real name, address and serial number and then if you have ACTUALLY something to say we can arrange for you to be visited for a formal statement. But carry on with your posts. Its alway nice to get a laugh. Kinda like eating 30 gms of chocolate a day.

tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 7, 2022 Beaut day in Nelson . First two races...stick with the Fav's ! R1.....4, 7 10 R2.....2 , 7, 11 Bet with your shoelaces not your shoes , it's a long day of Harness ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 7, 2022 First 4's looking tasty.... R3......5 ,6 , 7 R4......1 , 6 , 7 with 10 & 12 to boost First 4's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 7, 2022 First 4's the play.... R5....tricky lot but base around 2 , 3, 8 with 4 & 6 at thin end. R6.....ditto above but First 4 based around 2, 5 , 8....should fill 2 of top 4 ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 7, 2022 Thought about a Cup of Tea and leaving First 4's but with $10k pools , returns OK. R7.....most of these just Cantabs heading to Tasman for R & R...... a fairly dismal lot so revert to drivers and draws. 1 , 2 , and 3 to run the quinella X Field X Field. R8......looks easy ....9 the Hottie , but will he step ? Boxing 1, 6 , 7 & 8 just in case ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 7, 2022 Better class of horse continues... R9......3,6, 8,9 R10....Cyrus ( 6 ) wins from 7,1,9,10 or 13. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 7, 2022 1 hour ago, JJ Flash said: So how did you end up for the day Gary Haha....I'm glad someone noticed......one opens oneself up for derisive criticism posting picks on here ! But had a beaut day.....as an expert should.......got out of the hot weather , studied the form in between some relaxing reading and watching some Netflix and bet on every race Nelson and Cambridge ! Helped immeasurably by snaring a % of first 4 in very first race...always throw in MEdmunds at thin end of First4/trifectas. Taking first 4's usually a high risk strategy , but making sure one covers Orange, JDunn , TWilliams , RButt in bets takes one close ! Do the top drivers all still drive in the same car to the Nelson races ??...haha. I had a few near misses ,as you do, but if Watching Our Coin and Above and Beyond kept pacing in home strait my results would have been even better....did the track appear a little rough ? On to Cambridge , reverted to a mainly 'trifecta' strategy ...no $10k guarantee on First 4's up North.....and helped by fact a horse I have a small share in paid nearly $5 for second and snared a share of last tri which paid $1k ...been watching Prince Envy and trifilium........capped off a very good day , only during Cup week can one normally spend a day following every Harness race ! Won't be doing much Nelson Day 2 ...attended every meeting for 27 years .......usually easier on Day 2 , but I suspect mainly Flying miles will change that ! I'm impressed you noticed !

tasman man 742 Report post Posted January 8, 2022 Day 2......Hotties look to dominate at least half of card. Stand 1600m races could cause odd upset ! Looks tough ......some value ! R1....3 30 to 1 !

R6........Tri 1 , 4 & 12 poor field R7......7 more Jimmy Curtin R10......3 oldest horse racing @ 10 yr old , course specialist ! Needs head start !
