    The big issue with the current funding model is that NZ Racing has zero accountability around making money (or operating as a functionally sound business). It is gifted what it needs regardless of how it performs.

    The problem in a nutshell. And a NZ wide problem in a lot of sectors ,no accountability. Duck shoving, bullet dodging, red tape. How "anything" gets done in this  country on time and on budget would be a complete miracle .

    Berrigan ?

    I have been out there Maria and it's as flat as a pancake, don't remember any hills. I maybe wrong, still think it is NZ, but then again have been known to be wrong on occasion.

    Most American focused sports are boring - well to me anyway. They have mastered the art of taking a game and extending the time it takes to play it beyond the realms of sanity. 

    Ditto to that. As a Canadian friend of mine keeps saying about the Good ole US of A. " The land of excess"......

    Hi there MC . your team looks a total MC this week .( a Massive Challenge 😁.)  as are Mighty Competitor's 

    of Major Concern is the plan of Capt Ray (the Master Craftsman)  to have a Monster Collect 💰 , from a Main Choice runner 🏇, to inflict Massive Carnage on the whole Meek Competition team, and get Multiple Casaulties 🤕 in one go . 

    for your opponent LB things are Looking Bleak fighting the Losing Battle,  so might need a Long Break.🏖️   i'm thinking a Luxury Beach with a Lovely Beer 🍺 some Luscious Blondes (and even a Lavishing Brunette if i'm a Lucky Bastard 😉)

    You need to get out more ole son. 🤣

    From memory it was a figure between $15-18k on Akuta at $2.20, ten minutes

    They came adrift big time on that, and I was quite pleased about that . One of my few punts last year came in on Self Assured, at an incredible 13 -1.  Concentrated on the FFA and did the job, top horse at great odds.

  6. Alex Park 9-2-2024.

    R1   6  Always B Elite  ( second up in the north,and ran good races as a 2yr old)                                           1rst  

    R2  8  Franco Santana  (Well backed first up and devoid of any racing room,should go close with T Herlihy)  4th

    R3  6  Wish For Fish   (Fresh up and good record on the course)                                                                           4th

    R4  9  Madrid         (Bought north, shows potential from Purdon Barn, just needs luck from draw)           pathetic

    R5  4  Treacherous Baby  (Has the draw advantage over #7, but another good Captain Treacherous horse)     again pathetic

    R6  9  Sunny's Sister  ( Trots all the way, Wins)                                                                                             3rd Thought Dun might have looped them and get to the lead, instead of a sprint around them from back at the end. 

    R7  3  Iron Brigade  ( might lack the class of some of these but is quick,show heaps of potential,  and a good bet at odds)  Caught parked.Stick with in lesser fields.

    R8   5  Throwyaarmsaroundme   (Another consistent Sweet Lou, Herlihy up, should go close)             3rd

    R9  5  Self Assured   (IMHO, one of the best horses to stick his head through a bridle in my time watching harness. Getting older but all   class still.                                                                                                                                                   2nd

    R10  6  Bangkok Betty   (Weaker field for her , my BB for the night, could easily win without surprising)Bugger  2nd

    I would call that a night of failures by the Favs. 

    Hoping they run better than the last meet.  They didn't

    One win, 2 2nds ,2 3rds.    $20 spent  $11.10 return.
