Glen Craven is the cousin of Jason Lee. They are very close, and train a large team togeather with Margaret and Paddy Lee listed as the Trainers. This frees the driving lads up a bit to take the outside drives when the time arises. Bit like what Dunn's do there , to keep John Dunn free to drive 'others' horses a bit. Don't worry about 'Zahara' getting beat though Rakman. she went super well still and just getting fitter all the time. That horse of Gaths (IM READY JET ) was beaten a head by Keayang Zahara last week when she was fresh up. At Menangle this weekend in the Group 1 , Im Ready Jet was 8 lengths behind in 4th spot at the finish line , well and truly' thrashed , so Zahara has come on beautifully from that first up return run obviously, and will be a force in all her races to come this year. She is a fabulous looking trotter . -
That name is a blast from the past , very good jockey , sad to hear of his passing . -

Very saddened to hear of Peter’s passing Ted Peter was a great guy, who I met a number of times, and a very good rider to boot. Peter was superb company and highly knowledgeable. RIP Peter -
Looking for any footage of Abit Leica and Peter Fearon winning the Waikato Draught Sprint on 14/2/1984. Looking to obtain for Peter Fearon's Memorial service this Sunday. Peter passed away two weeks ago. Thanks -
Haha and the Quatari's have denied giving him the plane as a present . Who do you believe , uumm! tough one .

Ah , Levin just timed to head into the Foxton trials . Suspect the numbers next week will be rather large .

Almost certain to be better than the awapuni trials that have been cancelled through lack of entries. -

Old mate, I read on the Aussie HR that the Lees wanted to try different driver. G Craven a successful Vic trainer/driver they give him a chance; he's a cock relation of the lees old mate. I'm thinking its because the stablemate Keayang Chuckie is in the top grade too so probably the pair will be in the same races during the season? Yes, the Sebastian K filly is impressive athletic horse. It was a mile though, I think that Keayang Zahara will be better suited to the distance races than the speedy Emma Stewart filly. Just my opinion of course The Aussies have got the best pacers and trotters at the moment, Iraklis mate. -

Great news , as much as I can knock jocks for bad rides , they're braver than me .

I will add , that's even when there will be no trials between Waipuk , 2 weeks ago and Foxton in 2 weeks , let's hope Levin are running J/O's tomorrow . If they are I wonder how many horses they will get ?
-
Hahaha , you couldn't write the script any better for this discussion , the Awapuni trials on the AWT set for Wednesday have been cancelled due to , TADA ! Insufficient entries , go figure . Yet again they show they are sooooo out of touch , the odds of those trials happening were $1.01 and shortening from the moment they announced them . Now let me think , what was that comment I just read , oh yes , "PIG IGNORANT and ARROGANT".
-
Most NI horses that compete in the John Grigg and Nth Canterbury Mile do so as their trainers have sent them down to acclimatize early , but mostly for their lesser horses to pick up some easier lead up money and rating points . Now if they substantially increased those stakes then you would see the better northern horses come earlier as well .

I don't think it's purely that they refuse to accept that AWT racing is separate , they know as well as everybody else that we simply don't have the horse population , particularly in the winter , to running grass and synthetic track racing as 2 whole separate entities . Hence they have to shoe horn horses , their trainers and owners into using them . That is borne out by the fact that they only race to a certain rating then back to the grass for a decent AWT horse . On top of that the statement by Nerula that top trainers are happy to run horses on them , fact , the top trainers don't run their top horses on them in trials , again that is proven by the number of cancelled trials through the lack of nominations . Now if we had twice as many horses racing as we do then by all means fill your boots , I still wouldn't because I am suspect around the injury rate , but that is another debate . As for the "pig ignorant and arrogant" comment , well that is part of their DNA now , they simply refuse to have any substantial communication with industry participants , and that is now proving to be to their detriment .
