Yep Shelly Hale said in the Herald this morning that he's lost a bit of interest because of bad beginnings but that they were going to try and hunt him out from the barrier this week. I agree, a really good bet at decent odds.

Just interested in everyone's view on these on a forum like this. Personally I find them really annoying so we've made a conscious decision to keep them away from this site. I just wondered whether any of you had strong views for or against.

Thanks Marty. It was a bit of a tough call to move when we were just getting some traction but we're confident it was the right thing to do. Keep posting your stuff, it's most informative.

In NZ. One of my favourite horses. Really hope he makes it back to the track. https://theinformant.co.nz/sacred-elixir-back-in-new-zealand/

Nice article about one of the good guys. Always love him on a good front runner.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12244247

Shorts and gum boots are just fine.

Just click on chat and you'll see them.

Saved the best until the end "To them he represents another, far less beloved New Zealand archetype: a stunted adolescent and a cruel, pitiless bully" Ouch!

Interesting read. I wouldn't be surprised if the subject of the interview is rather regretting allowing it to be published.

Looks like they are in for a tough season with Rafa walking.

There is now a link to this under 'Useful Websites' in the main menu.

Thanks for dropping in Mardy.
