  1. Answers to some of your questions here Lightning. As Double R said come & go. But yip all about logistics it says. https://www.hrnz.co.nz/news/addington-ready-for-16-race-marathon/
  2. Well folks the BIG mega meeting day, is nearly upon us. Is this the biggest harness meeting ever? Or have there been 17 races before? We have our final Round of our TFS Transport Comp, to assist any peeps still needing to get their selections in, here is a video preview from the ALL STARS. Top Up ya accounts, if you are at home stay at home orders, make sure you have snacks, drinks (non-alcoholic or alcoholic), laptop, TV & comfy space at the ready. She is going to be 1 BIG DAY. (It is a shame missing the lovely beach scenery. Its so beautiful). It is what it is & away we go. http://www.allstarsracing.co.nz/runners
  3. Hey lol, you don't accept messages. How can I get the Qs thru to you?
  4. Oh yeah, momentarily forgot about that re Covid no owners on track in some place. Was more thinking what should I wear when get to winners circle for the everlasting PHOTO ๐Ÿ˜„ Was wondering to myself will it be winter attire or summer attire ๐Ÿค” Right need to create some questions for Enteebee then heading out for an Auckland picnic. In the not great weather. Have a great day.
  5. Sweetie be racing next year. Seems like a long wait but it hasn't actually been that long. Just long when you are so keen hehe. Karrots goal, to get a photo taken in winners circle with Sweetie ๐Ÿ˜€ Never been in winners circle.
  6. Agree with you, when I first started following in 2018. I noted that South was stronger in general, meaning that when they came up in same grade they were slightly better. HOWEVER feel that has changed & you just have to look at Telfers stable as an example. I don't really include Manawatu in that assessment, as Manawatu horses are Manawatu horses. Respectfully the weakest of the 3 Northern tracks. And it is good to have Mana. Those horses that come up from South. Don't see many of them winning at Cambridge do ya in same grade. And they didn't seem to win a lot at Alex either when they came up. The NZ CUP is open and any islands to take this year IMO. AND the Jewels at Cambridge 2021 was 4 to North Island & 5 to South. Similar.
  7. Results. A quinella to N Purdon with the Amazing mare Amazing Dream can lead as she LEAD ALL the way, to win from her fast finishing stable mate Spellbound to take another G1 Glory. Well Lightning,in another G1 the Len Mile, Line Up finished down the track. BUT noted Spirit of St Louis, still has the odd Kiwi owner T Casey. So will include his result. Nearly a G1 for him BUT the line came approx 5 metres too soon as he flashed down the outside from the 3 back outer position to pass his favoured stablemate Expensive Ego who had the 1-1 to finish 4th. With a $81 shot taking the G1 glory The Black Prince ahead of ex Kiwi Alta Orlando another with Kiwi owners as Lightning pointed out in R Dunn finishing ONLY a head away in 2nd. A head & a head ONLY divided the 2nd from 3rd place and again a head from 3rd to 4th place! In other news in G1 2y-o boys NSW breeders final Sweet Lou smarty Smaltese was left parked after going hard out the gate but also going hard was My Ultimate Ronnie who crossed him. As soon as he got the lead, his stablemate & fav pressed on to lead & he handed to stablemate My Ultimate Byron who had started from complete outside front row. BUT with the early burn it cost them ALL. And a swooper Tims a Trooper at $41 came over the top. Good one Trooper ๐Ÿ‘ Teach that stable driving ha.
  8. Hehe but Globe is on drinks (water/juice/cola) & Double R is the background high kicks man. Check this out MEOW - Here is the video of Copy Thats win today! Impressive stuff. Im really liking the walking up standing start practice ๐Ÿ˜„ Tick need that practice for the South. Also like the commentators both Teaz & also White whom is commentating today when they commentate at Puke workouts they both give some details/info about horses, to try to keep in a bit more interesting, oppose just saying, this horse is infront, this horse is 2nd, back to this horse in front again & rinse and repeat. https://harness.hrnz.co.nz/gws/ws/r/infohorsews/wsd06x?Arg=hrnzg-Ptype&Arg=RaceVideo&Arg=hrnzg-RacehdrID&Arg=291602&Arg=hrnzg-rSite&Arg=TRUE PS haha SCA is a Northern horse. No sneaky stealing him ๐Ÿ˜„
  9. Well Team North, looks like Copy That is set to go & go SOUTH ALL fired up! After a record workout at Puke today. Winning by 15 lengths from fellow open class horse Christianshavtime. Ohhh South are you quaking in your boots yet lol. - Happy's predicted response. Nope lol. https://www.lincolnfarms.co.nz/stories/nz-cup-bound-copy-that-sets-pukekohe-track-alight-with-supersonic-workout/
  10. Nice write up on HRNZ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ https://www.hrnz.co.nz/news/ultimate-missile-launches-at-alex-park/
  11. Fantastic Ill send something thru tomorrow. @Hesi was thinking maybe could send thru Guerin some questions, answers too. He seemed like a good bloke, replied straight away. Know he is busy & all but Id keep the questions simple. Thoughts? Would you be able to get them thru to him? Could be about Cup lead up or about the punter club they doing, and or also the NZ calendar, & or some other stuff.
  12. Both. And lots, was forced to check their details out. Who are these peeps lol. Warning tho its not like the docos with just 1 or 2 episodes. It has like only 2 seasons, but EACH SEASON has like 40-50 episodes lol.
  13. Hey Enteebee thanks for sharing. Shame a mention wasnโ€™t included in HRNZ article for the hundy. BUT Great write up here & pix too. Love it, 1. First out of the gate 2. Leading with a lap to run 3. At the finish. Maybe could do a Q & A say 5 - 10 questions, with you as part of next weeks addition of Karrots Mid Weekly update on 100 wins & syndicate & Ill try think of some other fun questions. I can PM you questions in a couple days if ok?
  14. To get back to subject, there are further articles on HRNZ today explaining more about the changes. 1 other thing Im thinking. I hope they keep the Jewels 2y-os the same as previous years e.g. earn your spot via stake money. Also noted that HRNZ has been given the green light by TAB to host 1 Saturday nite but only for next year. Better than nothing suppose. Looks like it will be held at Alex.
  15. Amazing Dream & Spellbound line up against each other at Melton tomorrow nite for the ladies G1 clash.
  16. And a well deserved write up on HRNZ today - with a Facebook interview also attached. Great to see the BIG smile on his face as he goes past the POST ๐Ÿ˜ƒ https://www.hrnz.co.nz/news/bublitz-doubles-up-after-first-win/
  17. Yeah they gave him a bit of a hard time on the other forum. Does nothing for a young persons confidence getting savaged as such. But pleased as you say he took got his win + another. Just needed to get behind some decent stock & also get a good coach & some confidence will start to flow ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  18. Hey Double R Thats what I said to you re maybe sick horse. As favourite was a bit unusual with that run. Thanks for the update. Hope he gets back to the track when ready. YES GO Ultimate Missle tonight. Have him down in my selections ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  19. No surprises there. Think most of the world agrees with you Mike. She is Sophia Vergara, ex Miss Colombia, 1 of the most current well known HOTTEST Latinas from hit USA TV show Modern Family. Sheโ€™s 49 nearly 50 & still looks fantastic. Recently watched a Netflix show called (El Dragon) - in Spanish with subtitles & noticed a great actress - Renata Notni. Feel if she gets a USA break she will take the place of Sophia Vergara as the new Latina IT girl. Heres a pic of her.
  20. Yea @Gordy that was what it said on the Doco. Have not googled to see if it was downsized or not. But Gordon passed not long after any it appears. Me too re hit a temp wall re Netflix, hence onto Neon. Yes some good stuff too on You Tube. Sometimes I end up strolling thru Netflix for ages just to find something to watch. Might google Enes Yilmazer or take a peak at it on You Tube - thanks
  21. Of note today, since saw you guys were talking about Invercgl on here. Just checked results and watched R1 & R2 as 2 Lous won. Both maiden races. What I did note was the distance 1700m. In saying that too, looks like they both would of won 2200m. Great drive by M Williamson, from 2nd row inside draw to in LEAD in a flash without using too much mahi.
  22. Why Sensei Lightning giving me ALL the homework. Iv got a NEON comedy to seek out & watch. AFTER watching these sad real life docos.
  23. Ok no more real life docos on Neon for a while for Karrots. Gee so SAD. Just watched this doco it has ONLY 1 episode. Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina - Didnโ€™t we Yet another Bizarre story how BOTH, mother & daughter died the same way 3 years apart. Face down in a bath. Again this doco leaves questions as to was the ex fiancรฉ of the daughter (Nick Gordon) responsible for 1 or both deaths. He also died 3 years later at age 30 after Bobbi Kristina. So tragically ALL 3 passed. The weird part of it was that he had been taken in at age 12 & was raised as a son to Whitney, & like a brother to daughter Bobbi Kristina. (But was unofficially adopted son). Then soon after Whitney passed he was in a relationship with the daughter so like his sister BUT not. Also weirdly the same cause of death as Brittany M - Pneumonia BUT the manner of death was ruled as UNKNOWN. Of note Bobbi Kristina had missing teeth, bruising, swollen lips from physical abuse at time of death. There were rumours he was controlling. Interestingly in both deaths he was there Nick Gordon. The best friend of Bobbi Christina thinks foul play as Whitney never took baths at hotels. But his brother who was also interviewed said No that he loved them both. However he N Gordon was found legally responsible for Bobbi Kristinas death & fined USD36 million after father Bobby Brown filed a lawsuit against him. He tried to commit suidcide after he was blamed for it. And successed a few years later when he passed of a drug OD. Again similar to the B Murphy case in that her husband passed after her death. Very sad watching the interviewees from ALL families. Maybe actually avoid these 2 docos lol. Need to find a comedy NEXT.
  24. Roger that. The only 1 bit of feedback I would give other than LOVE it. Is the Country CUP final IMO should not be open to horse R100 or R90 or maybe even R80 for that matter. I see the conditions are to start 30m or 40m for R100 BUT over 3200m. Have it set at a rating. Think they do that at Menangle. Lightning might know. But think the Country Cup Final Group 3 recently at Menangle was up to NR80. Should be something similar here. Otherwise they might just get horses that are open class enter. Defeats the WHOLE purpose of the series. Note it is still just draft so some amendments can still be made.
