Unbelievable  riding at the moment.  Question  tho, what is the most wins by a  jockey in 1 week in nz?  He must be close to a record?

1.09 1200?  Soft 6? No way

1400 1. 22?surely not on a heavy 8

We're going  tonight foxy.   Think it might be canceled  as well as it's still raining in some areas.

Who is the horse?   Is it a maiden that has been running okay races not in maiden company, and then ran poorly in a Maiden race?   In that case it may have been rated back down.

 

Wolfgang.  Was a maiden but ran some good races as a 2 yrl. Looks like he  had put him out for a while  so hence the ratings drop maybe?

How does a horse lose 8 points  from 62 down to 54? 

Lickety split  is doing a good job In aussie  for forsman

Not sure but its no mean feat to be the leading buyer in the Southern hemisphere...love them or hate them he does know how to find a good one.I am believer of no matter what they are by or out of if they aint athletes first and foremost they won't run...pedigrees are made not bought...the page only tells you how much the particular athlete will cost...my opinion but I learnt from one of the best judges ever.

Also there's more to it than purchases? Mark walker plays a big part, staff play there part,  and  Mr Ellis does do a good job

Thought  you may of been after a Hutt Park winner. (like Village Kid did) Jack Morris winning 3 at Auckland before being exported.

I had a real Thrill seeing him go round here in Brisbane in 1993 . Jack Morris winning the heats and Interdominion Final with authority leaving the Nz champs of Blossom Lady and Christopher Vance , as well as the mighty Westburn Grant struggling in his wake ........>>  Jack Morris (one of the very best for sure)  

Pretty sure he was only average  on this side of the Tasman

Great forum  l b. I remember the Hutt park days, and think ing of the horse that I think was racing around there, and then got taken over to oz and ended up being a bloody good 1, just can't remember  his name? Think it was Perth he went to

2 hours before the Karaka Million 3 year old's go around for 1 mil, the top 2 year old from last season and this seasons 2000 Guineas winner, both G1 winners and highest rated 3 year old's around(other than Legarto) go around for $130K, if they even accept.

As a race, it means nothing in establishing who the top 3 year old is so far.

Why? Are they eligible  for the karaka  million?

 And those were great days watching  the great lyell creek, but also how his owner made the headlines  as well

Sunny action

Courage under fire?

Of which you  are allowed

Delaying the naming won't achieve anything as if people want to be nasty they will be 

True, just maybe they don't want it Printed  in multiple  websites 

See the article  said controlled  environmental, as opposed  to uncontrolled,  so maybe they read these pages and don't  want it to get out of hand?

So, do aussie trained and raced horses do better financially on average than NZ ones? Where did you see 

 See what?  Your trying  to compare apples with apples. I don't.  Simple

Why don't you agree with what's being said it's all facts based that are all public if you want to put that work in. 

Because I'm not 1 to judge on performance.  Either you want to invest or you don't.
