PWJ Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 ROUND 5 - Saturday July 17 N.B. There is a lot of rain forecast for Wellington later this week so I have added a back-up set of NZ races from Ruakaka. You should select for both meetings clearly indicating which selections are for which meeting Couple of the big guns - The Roughnecks & Lowdown - face off this week in a "Clash of the Titans" while Piko try to end their poor run against an in-form Hot Toddys crew. A couple of underperformers - Crazy Horse and Usain Colt - are looking to get back on track against each other while the enigmatic MX5 have a difficult job choosing the right pair to take on for their Bye encounter. Robert, Pete, Ian, Jase and Midnight C look to extend their unbeaten records.... Selections Close off at 12.25pm (NZ time) Races are: 1. Trentham R3 - 12.55pm - Hydra-Cell Pumps Wellington Hurdle (PJR) - $75k, 3400m, open hdl 2. Trentham R4 - 1.30pm - Hiremaster 1200 - $32k, 1200m, open hdcp 3. Trentham R5 - 2.05pm - Grant Plumbing Wellington Steeplechase (PJR) - $75k, 5500m, open stpl 4. Randwick R4 - 2.50pm - City Tattersall's Club Hdcp - $130k, 1800m, 3yos & 4yos BM 78 hdcp 5.

Morphettville R5 - 4.32pm - Oaklands Plate (LR) - $107k, 1400m, 2yos SW+Ps 8. Randwick R8 - 5.20pm - Bowermans Commercial Furniture Hdcp - $150k, 1400m, qlty hdcp 9.

Randwick R10 - 6.35pm - Heineken Hdcp - $130k, 1000m, BM 78 hdcp If Trentham is abandoned before race 1 then ALL the Whangarei races below will be used for the NZ leg. If Trentham is abandoned at any stage after the comp has commenced then the substitute/alternative races at Ruakaka will simply come in to replace the corresponding Trentham race. In other words if Trentham is abandoned after race 3 (comp race #1) then comp race 2 will become 2a which is Ruakaka race 3, and so on... NZ Alternative Races are: 1a. Ruakaka R2 - 12.38pm - NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race - $22k, 1200m, fillies/mares R65 BM 2a. Ruakaka R3 - 1.15pm - Whangarei ITM - $22k, 1200m, 2yos SW+Ps 3a.

JustPlodded Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It has not escaped notice that in the 4 matches in this comp so far I have drawn 3 from your Magnificent 7 ! But at least Maria and I have this understanding that she lets me win… Now off to find those elusive horses that were beaten by 99 lengths but have “improved” in the 2 weeks since. And of course you don’t get underdogs at the punter’s graveyard do you? 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to warn you Geoff that Trentham is Maria's old stomping ground.

Gordy Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Today’s Wellington Races have been abandoned due to gale force winds, torrential rain, surface water on the track and an unfavourable forecast. NZTR together with the club will look at options and advise accordingly. PJ is pretty good at predicting the weather. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
