And remiss of me not to congratulate John on his win and Pondy on his good showing...tough day at the office for me...blinkers, tongue tie and Crossover go on next week

Hoping you kop the same next week Blair , you know this game   

So the trials scheduled for Rotorua on Tuesday have been canned due to the amount of rain they have had , so why have they not xfered them to Cambridge ?

Long may it continue.. well for our H to H  anyway Blair

Can I ask for a redraw......🤣😭

Safely Kept…. Was always a good stallion over here….. top pacers….. top trotters….. Safe N Sound….La Coocaracha….

Draw for Round 1 of H2H (next week)   Say No More vs Ohokaman Sunlineboy vs Pegasus       Houlahan vs Peter RS Mikenz vs Mr Gee             Black Kirrama vs Pure Steel Arjay vs Sayer       Jayar vs Foxmerts Pak Star vs Koriokaramea             Gubellini vs Catalano Kilcoyne vs Basil brush       Richie vs Dogzstar Kloppite vs Scooby             Seakem vs Von Cettes Al Feidling vs Blaird       Reacher vs Joan Ponderosa vs Chestnut

You just can't bring yourself to give them even the tiniest little bit of credit, can you. It always all comes down to the ref, according to you, in that EVERY WEEK they're giving undeserving team undeserved victories. I call bullshit!!!  

Congrats Say No More, well done, it was a tough day for me. 

Week 1 - Gold Coast R8 - Final race Say No More with a late dive to nab Pondy right on the line.  Gubellini rounds out the top 3. Draw for the H2H knockout to be posted later, but the cut-off is Ohokaman in 32nd place.  Those below Ohokaman still able to win the other two comps - $$ aggregate and points.   NAME LATEST RACE TOTAL Say No More 64.00 1085.00 Ponderosa 0.00 1084.00 Gubellini 64.00 1060.00 Pak Star 0.00 1029.80 Black Kirrama 64.00 822.00 Kloppite 128.00 796.20 Seakem 40.00 722.00 Mikenz 80.00 718.00 Houlahan 0.00 711.20 Al Feidling 64.00 699.00 Richie 0.00 692.00 Arjay 0.00 687.40 Jayar 128.00 674.60 Kilcoyne 64.00 662.60 Reacher 0.00 659.80 Sunlineboy 64.00 646.00 Pegasus 128.00 645.60 Joan 128.00 639.00 Basil brush 80.00 635.60 Foxmerts 64.00 633.00 Sayer 64.00 619.80 Dogzstar 0.00 604.00 Blaird 64.00 586.00 Peter RS 0.00 575.00 Mr Gee 0.00 573.00 Von Cettes 0.00 570.00 Scooby 64.00 562.00 Pure Steel 0.00 559.00 Koriokaramea 80.00 543.00 Catalano 0.00 524.00 Chestnut 0.00 513.00 Ohokaman 40.00 486.60 Nomates 0.00 450.00 Insider 0.00 433.00 Pete Lane 128.00 429.00 Seddon 64.00 412.00 Winner 64.00 385.00 Montydrum 64.00 353.00 Lucasduke 0.00 334.00 Manfield 0.00 254.00 Jack 0.00 212.00

Maybe they'll spray a few magnums of expensive French champers across the finishing straight turf before each race in future to allow the name to stay, instead of watering the track pre-meeting?

long time coming paksy, but if you look at Vickys Rotorua performances it deserved more respect, all credit to Maria Sanson with a great ride  was impressive

full credit to the Wahs giving it 110 , but talk about rub of the green....St George must look biggest home run this year,.....but with a ref ANYTHING goes...

Love trentham racing but please can they stop saying champagne turf…a name that should have been left back in the 90s! Cringe everytime I hear it

Without looking back at the video reports that I get, he rode one for us not too long ago at either Steve Pateman's [pre-training] or at Patrick and Michelle Payne's in a gallop or jump-out. In simple terms the reason that I have responded is; that it is likely that he is still in the industry. No proof, only memory of an old lady.

I think Marketplace could be something special, JJ mate. I know it's an average 3yo crop, with only Rubira with class, GetChoc etc below that pair. Nevertheless, Marketplace toyed with them last night, jogging and easily holding them off. another impatient drive by Dunn. I think with Wag Star it's the sire, The Sweet Lou's are more speed horses like the Art Majors. Vincent seem to be more staying horses, which is a surprise because he's an Art Major. It must be the dam sire Safely Kept where the staying blood comes from. I don't know anything about Safely Kept as he based in Ausralia. His dam Imke B by Bettors Delight. Art Major out of Bettors Delight mare a strong cross/ Marketplace is the real deal... Just my opinion of course
