Blue 1,095 Report post Posted April 27, 2022 Interesting discussions but IMHO Spankem leads, Self Assured trails and wins. Maybe sounds like a cracked record but given the draws I can't really see it any other way. It's just a bit sad that it's not the age race it was originally intended to be.

Eljay , do you believe the 'blame game' that ATC sends HRNZ way. The ATC claim they in a strong financial position so could have run an event for 4 year olds as well ! I am perplexed why the ATC have carded an Amateur Drivers race on a Group 1 night....in recent years the ATC often reluctant to run these races . That aside , the supporting races for the 2 x Group 1 races look very weak. Two non-winners races for minimum stakes as well as the Amateur race ! How things have changed .....and overall not for the better.....pathetic really ! Easy to keep pointing the finger at HRNZ ! I note the ATC rep on HRNZ board has walked out on the role......dedication [ sarcasm] ! john legend 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Iraklis It's hard for a more mare in that grade mate, even the mighty Amazing Dream, one of our best ever mares, would be all out to be that field on Friday night. But on her night she could do it, the mighty Amazing Dream could outsprint them all. Bettor Twist could do the same. I think they have changed her training, made her into a grinder, she's hasn't got a lot of speed the mare but can keep going at top speed furlong after furlong. I am not sure Zac is the right driver for her, I hope I am proved wrong. she's not at 100% but close. Reality is, barring a catastrophe, Self Assured will bolt in. From that draw I don't think Mark will muck around, he'll lead, Spankem in trail, Bettor Twist three back fence... trifecta. I think Mark will let him loose Friday night and look out...

Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted April 28, 2022 Janitor mate, think the Iceman (SelfAssured) is doin the drivin for MarkP, and well, we all know he (TH) aint no mug I just hope me 2 favs can get into the race and and give it a shake.....the mighty AllStars got a bloody great hand in this, and my head says that's where it'll probably go; but as we all know there's no certainties in racin, if Mango can just get the Coast handy he won't shirk it, am feelin more nervous for the Treacherous, and MachDan well, we all know how he can begin, Spankem he's no slouch either, when that gate pulls away it's fingers and toes crossed.....geez with this many big guns in one race we're almost gettin spoilt for choice LOL lovin it.....

Sadly the Cruiser may not wait around for the Auckland Cup because of the fact it is a standing start ! Self Assured will be hot again , he was very brave , got savaged by an over racing Cranbourne who looks a very tough steed. Great to see two such competitive races and when the Cruiser launched 4 wide at the 400 m it sure was game on. Similarly in the trot great to see the last 400 m , the best three trotters all outstanding talents , with handle bars down. Great racing !

Cheers Iraklis Cruiser winning is the best thing could have happened. Now more Aussies will come to the RACE next year and stick around like the Cruiser has. We could get three or four top Aussies here, wouldn't that be grand! And there's talk of a RACE for the trotters, so we would get a few top Aussie trotters too. Its' mouthwatering stuff mate. The clubs should be organising races now that make the Aussies want to stick around. Be great if we could get them to stick around for a month to six weeks. It would be good if the Cruiser came back. He's a good horse, I thought he looked the fitted horse in the race, really stood out during preliminaries. It's good to see a horse come from behind like that, you don't too many like that now. Mate, I am already excited at the prospects of next year's Race, I give you the tip!!!! cjw, mckenzie and Iraklis 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser was shunted out four wide about the 500m, but the young fella didn't panic, knew his horse was travelling, balanced him and wham. The horse has a huge sprint, a great weapon that few horses have these days. I'd love to see him race at Addington, he'd love the straight there. Young Hart is an impressive horseman, he's got a big future. mckenzie, Pure Steel and Iraklis 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
