  1. He was trained in Southland for all but his last two NZ starts
  2. Thanks Robert. I’m not sure what the purpose is of having a suspended & unavailable list on HRNZ website when it was last updated on 31 st August
  3. Would certainly expect so. Blair has always really liked him.
  4. Surprising that Nat didn’t turn up last Friday to drive Self Assured. Now she isn’t standing in for Mark on Milwood Nike. Is she away or has she given up driving? I wonder if she will make an appearance on Cup Day?
  5. How is your Sweet Lou coming along Karrots?
  6. My first winner was a bracket of sorts. It was the first division of a division race so was bracketed with a horse in the 2nd division.
  7. Great to hear some positive thoughts for a change. I tend to agree with you Double R.
  8. Agree Addington. For some time various posters have alluded to Brodie being Wayne Higgs. I was always sceptical because if you follow his posts closely it’s clear Brodie does not have the knowledge Mr Higgs would have. Don’t know what ever made people think it was him
  9. I said years ago there should be a stock take done of all the tracks and how much they are worth & who actually owns them. I think we don’t really need both Mot & Rangiora but one estimate I heard was that selling Rangiora would only bring in about $ 4 mil. If it was sold though money could be invested in developing a training centre & community at Mot where young trainers could set up relatively cheaply. As for Auckland I think if they can get out of their difficulties in time it would be best to stay put. Addington get good crowds to Christmas at the races and other functions during the year. That revenue stream would largely disappear if they shifted out of town.
  10. Went to Melton in 2018 and underwhelmed by the place. It has nothing on Addington. It would be a big mistake in my opinion to go down that road here. Also any funds from selling Addington would be eaten up by a green field development of a new facility, so not much to be gained and plenty to lose.
  11. I fear you may be right. But then again if there were more horses would there be the owners to race them?
  12. $26 for RP in The Race is very poor odds in my opinion. $17 for BP in sires stakes final is much better odds, though Purdons filly will be very hard to beat
  13. Read the first few lines but I don’t subscribe to PP.
  14. Thanks Karrots. That was exciting. Didn’t expect her to do that
  15. Carmelite scratched but Light Up My Fire should win that
