Hesi Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Quite a few questions that hopefully we will get answers to 1. Dragon Leap or Travelling Light, Derby favouritism should be decided, with only the Avondale Guineas to go, plus a few pretenders trying to sneak in via a few 2000m lower rating races. 2. Will Luvaluva confirm our G1 racing, is at best Aus G3 3. Will a race fit Avantage take it to Te Akau Shark 4. How many people will be oncourse, will it be more than a Tauherenikau country Xmas meeting, we'll never know, commercially sensitive info, and will they have reheated sausage rolls 5. Will the Te Akau mob be extended the privilege early on Sat morning, of walking the track by the Waikato RC management(hang on, aren't they the same).................you betchya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got that wrong Hesi and so did I, nice win though. 2) Tiptronic or Camino Rocoso to win that. Right me, wrong you Luva Luva poorly ridden. 3) Potential for a unexpected winner, depends on where Shark settles during the run, clear running at the top of the straight and he wins Right me wrong you. 4) Will be a massive crowd, only 2nd to Waikato Cup Day, the food is absolutely shitful but I don't think they have sausage rolls anyway. Big crowd, food shit and yes they have sausage rolls and they looked foul. 5) Guaranteed. you were right.

Maximus Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Some good horses lining up but disappointing field sizes in some of the feature races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other horses would you like to see in those races? its bare bones stuff as it is. It will be an amazing day out, I cant wait to go along. 2 bottles will be chilling for when I get home with a fistful after a great day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) not denying it will be a fab day out Barry..just would've preferred bigger fields. Starters in 2019: 7,8,12,13,13,9,9,10,10 Starters in 2020 as of now 7,7,7,7,7,13,10,8,11 first 5 of 9 races with a max of 7 starters..urgghh! personally I prefer 3 place dividends in every race...and the smaller the field the more 'tactical' it gets Edited February 7, 2020 by Maximus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Its probably reflective of an incredibly dry summer. I have 3 horses myself and all of them are out waiting for a smidge of rain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
