Since when did Yulestar become an "Auckland horse"?

Mike

I can't utter his name

It stirs up too many emotions

Suffice to say he is restricted and thinks he is always on the money

Mike

To the Winner

Don't forget to post your bets for Saturday

The final nail in the coffin

Unvaccinated people can't eat at McDonalds

Numbers will surge past 95% now!

Even the resident nutter on xxxxxxxxxx surely can't live without dining in at McDonalds?

I can usually see 4 or 5 winners at a Canterbury meeting

Of course none of them win

But at this meeting I can't see 1

Good luck all

Yes, agree Mike, he would have been three if the season hadn't changed.

Jack's Legend is still winning over in the US. His fastest time is 1.49.1.

Something that I didn't realise with the change of season to the first of January, the breeding season will not change. I had thought horses would needed to be foaled after the 1st of January, and turn one the following January, but no, horses foaled before January 2022, will not be one until January 2023. I think that is right.

That is 100% right

It removes any benefit from breeding to USA time as the odd person did, but that was back in the halycon sales days

1.49.1 ain't too shabby

Hi Mike,

Correct regarding the new horse birthday changing to the 1st of January.

However, he is still only two by his true birth date, as he was foaled on the 26th of November.

Interestingly, when we had Jack's Legend, he was a January foal, and actually ran 2nd in the N.Z.Cup, when his foaling date made him a three year old.

Cheers.

Robert.

Quite right Robert, appreciate the point, but most horses are foaled in October or November aren't they?

My point really was, if we were chatting 12 months ago, this horse would have a 3yo beside his name, now he has a 2yo showing

I had reservations when I firts heard of th date change, but there seem to be quite a few positives

The young horse being bigger and stronger obviously!

Jack's Legend went ok, I think he went to USA didn't he?

How did he go there?

My guess is he would have won quite a few races and been a great asset, without quite being in the Top FFA classes

@Double R Ultimate Missle lines up again after a nice 2nd at workouts. He's only 2. Didn't realise that. Any word as to how he is doing since his debut win? 😄

He's 2 under the new"horse's birthday" Karrots

If no one has told him his birthday has changed he'll think he's 3

Oh my Hesi, there we have a leader after R1 & yes its you. Gee I do recall looking thru your picks too, BUT as soon as I saw Self Assured just put a cross of the multi BUT its for a PLACE not WIN! 

Well done. 

Mike is tots just joking, being cheeky monkey.

Going into the 2nd round we have leader on front tapes who been working on his race day fitness & gets a front line advantage. 

Hesi $524 front

Everyone else $0 10 metres behind

 

I'm feeling good

I'm 2nd equal

Mike

OK, I'm not being serious

After a careful analysis of the costs of promoting the party atmosphere on Cuo Day, the Security, the Host Responsibility costs, and the Income received from On-course Turnover serious consideration is being given to restricting all future Cup Days to 10,000 people, regardless of Covid

Was just thinking, cause you brought it up. Re other site some dissing Mango. Can’t think who that might be … 🤔

Are they like talking about things like having a good old moan about something, actually anything is fine just be like lets have a moan. Plus can’t forget got to mock someone or something. Plus talking about something from like 40-50 years ago. Plus lets see, moaning about Covid. Plus moaning about Jacinda & saying Trump won.

Am on I on the money? 😇

Not this time Karrots

It's another nutter

Arrrggghhh ...commiserations Mike, you're making Mx feel bad for moaning about missing a $4k+ multi last week and Douceur getting snouted in the VRC Oaks which would've allowed the Moet to flow chez Max tomorrow and Wed and Sat...!

My own fault Maximus

Spent 1 minute of study

If I had spent 2 minutes then Mogul for a win was a far better idea

I got seduced by Jonny Cox driving

Then he got caught being attacked by a horse he didn't think he could hand up to

Howver he stopped so quick it probably didn't matter how the race was run

Anyway, the winner's bets are on

My multi is on the same as my Competition entry

And I'll get my work done between races!

What's this no Running Commentary Karrots?

What are we paying you the big bucks for?

🤪

It seems obvious to me, and I'd say nearly everyone else,  that the 3 best horses in the race are Self Assured, South Coast Arden and Copy That 

The only 1 that I can see with an upset chance is Classie Brigade who will lead early, and probably hand to Copy That

That makes him a rough chance from the trail especially if Mark an Nat bobble away slightly

Despite all the critics complaining of the lack of depth I think it's the race of the year so far
