Pete Lane 969 Report post Posted January 8, 2023 6 hours ago, Right first time said: Pukekohe - Sunday 08 January There are several in the R3 Maiden 1600m @ Pukekohe today who have done enough to say they can win. One such runner is my tip for today :- Locally trained galloper in the 7th line of Favouritism @ $13.00 ; $4.00 with an in-form Sam Spratt on board. Will get back from the 9 draw but be finishing strongly. Just as an aside, there is a runner in this R3 named 'Styx', trained by Andrew Forsman. In the mid to late 1960s when in my childhood my favourite galloper was also named Styx. By Syntax, this horse won 9 of 40 starts for northern trainer George Smith, with its best win being the 1967 Foxbridge Plate when ridden by Ron Taylor. When I first came onto this site must be close on 20 years ago my moniker was 'Styxmyfavourite.' I'll be interested to see how the modern version of 'Styx' gets on. Won't be carrying any of my money today, though. Nice picking Howie. I had a late bet on Lady Hika after listening to Andrew Forsman but great run by Star of Wonder. I'll console myself with the $12 place divvy I got off Lady Hika Pure Steel, say no more and Right first time 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment. Sam Spratt is being very kind to me, with Sacred Pearl yesterday and Star Of Wonder today. Glad I got on at $13 earlier in the day when was 7th favourite, cos it closed off at $6 as 3rd favourite !! Came from last on the corner, so a top run. Glad you got that juicy $12 place divvy off Lady Hika, Pete.! One to follow, as was only just nutted. Pete Lane 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidy work from the rear 2 back at Avondale, the came raging home last start to just miss, S Spratt on who can hopefully position him one of the rail and come with a strong run like last time. $13 Nice work, Zak ! Hope you got on at the double-figure odds, before the weight of money brought it down to $6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stodge 2,229 Report post Posted January 9, 2023 Have to say, I just watched a video of the 2100m Listed race at Pukekohe Park. A really lovely fair track - reminds me very much of Kempton if they got rid of the jumps course and kept the grass flat track with the Polytrack on the inside. Anyway tomorrow's UK racing is at venues nothing like Pukekohe but with a weather forecast similar to what North Island is expecting: The Tuesday 1-point Win Patent as follows: 1.15 Doncaster: KELLEHEN (current price 9/4) 2.25 Doncaster: THE QUESTIONER (current price 4/1) 6.00 Southwell: BOND SPIRIT (current price 6/1) Pete Lane 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
