ngakonui grass Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Could it be that the Karaka Millions are the target for most 2 year olds and the others are not worthy of chasing. NZR have to turn around this situation and get their Group1s back as targets or else its all downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Yep, the Karaka Million has either stuffed it, there is a lack of quality 2 year olds or Te Akau's domination has scared off the rest, just running for 3rd You could always put a positive spin on it, without Te Akau, there would only be 2 noms😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Sophisticardo, who got 4th in the Karaka millions, that my uncle has a small share in, got gelded after the race and is not due back to race till April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late moms, mean after thought, and if we are led to believe how critical timing is for setting for a big race, then it is laughable The Derby could not be held on March 13 for that reason, or so we are led to believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 As for the Sistema Stakes, it is indeed laughable this year... most important thing about it is that PJ doesn't select it as one of the Super Comp races. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 4 after thoughts I realise Group racing in NZ has been struggling to maintain a standard in recent years, but this does make a mockery of G1 racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
