I can remember seeing a jockey in the past with a metal loop around the heel of their boots, not sure if this is similar to what you saw Robert? Didn't realise they were approved gear. They'd have to take it into consideration when weighing out/in too. Yes it was Maria, and I didn't think it was anything other than a spur, but I do stand to be corrected.

I have just had clarification from Australia on spurs. Yes, they are allowed in some circumstances in some states, and it thought notification of them being used is needed.

karrotsishere Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 Heads up there is a completely new section Pete has created on Harness side called Q & A. It is under the Competition & Punting Perspective section.

karrotsishere Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Here is this weeks edition: Sires * Speeding Spur in NZ was off to a slow start serving only 15 in 2021. Hopefully for him he serves a few more 2022. * Bettors Delight we already know about this guy. Simply the BEST in NZ. So here is something perhaps many don’t know. Bettors soon to be 2 y-o crop born 2019 will be his smallest with only 107 live foals in a whooping 14 years! Within this time the majority of time he has had over 200 live foals. His highest being 261. Round UP in Brief 1. Nicolas Cage - Has been a demolition job at workouts. Still needs to qualify BUT has been streaking them in non-winners workouts running fast workout times. Appears to be a bit wayward manners but looks to be coming right now. Chatter about him has started. 2. Sugar Apple - Modelling Day Debut Cover NZ CUP Racebook 2021. 3. @Double R Q & A is over in the Q & A section Harness. Check it out. Has a NZ CUP theme to it. 4. Team North verse Team South kicks off for the NZ CUP tomorrow, who will take the glory? Fun TEAMS are Karrots, Globe, Double R verse Happy, Addington, Richie. Friendly banter allowed. Brief bragging rights to the victor. 5. Whether you want to be involved or not the NZ CUP day punters club has been opened. Your return will be based on their return. Eg if they double money, you do too. 6. Classie B (the peoples horse) deserves a Group 1 after many G1 placings. Can tomorrow be the day for him to finally get a G1? 7. Copy That - Hopefully he gets a fair start this time based on last year. 8. Will SA win 2 Cups on the trot? Formline is faultless. Top horse. Looking at his last 14 starts - 10 times he lead, trailed or 1/1 which majority he won. 4 times parked - beaten x3 parked. By (Copy That 2400m - Spankem 3000m - Pembroke Playboy 1980m) He got up once parked by being to good & rolling over top of PP in 1980m) 9. Congrats to ALL connections that have a starter who qualified for NZ CUP 2021! 10. New Harness $100 comp begins tomorrow. $100 to imaginary to play with ALL welcome. No running commentary on it. Updated results & ladder tally within 24 hours last race. Thanks @Mike. 11. Raceplace Punters Club Show Day, thanks to @richie for us the 18 of us that participated in the TFS Transport Harness comp. BUT Pends his multi coming in NZ CUP Day. His selections are those that are up on the new comp. So if you would like to follow, you can go to that thread & check his selections. 12. All Stars won 4 of 8 pacing races last NZ CUP day, how many will they win tomorrow 2021? 13. @Royal Nodhorse Republican Party (Stu) is in the final Sires Stakes. Good luck Nod. 14. Boxseat interview Orange is talking about using draw & holding lead in Sires. MP is saying he most likely won’t be pushing the button at the start on Indie. 15. Latest new members - Welcome 😃 look forward to hearing from you or more from you 😄 @Field Commander, @Trotslover @Secret Squirrel Edited November 7, 2021 by karrotsishere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karrotsishere Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) 1. Transfer of horses for summer to race at Camb has started with trainer N Chilcott seemingly one of the 1st to be transferred horses from the South. The 1st race is Nov 25th that is part of the Cambridge Raceway & TFS Transport Travel Subsidy. 2. 2 y-o Nicolas Cage qualified Friday. Won by 14 1/4 lengths in sleek MR2-00.8 over 2200m at Cambridge. 3. Always B Miki gets 1st G1 win Franco Indie $35,000k yearling sale purchase. 4. Copy That trainer Green gets 1st NZ Cup win. Woodlands get their 1st breed NZ Cup winner. North take Cup in as many years. A weanling sale cheap purchase can win the Cup. Great 1st Cup Day start for Starter R Donnelly. 5. Record set by South Coast Arden in FFA 6. Sundees Son sets a record in Dominion. * Still awaiting on receiving answers to next Q & A. But reports are its been a super busy week with NZ Cup & Show Week. So hopefully will be in recipient over next few days.

Considering it was only a week ago watched him get 3rd behind late model Ferraris. Some peeps have very short memories. Great idea me thinks.

karrotsishere Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Might as well share this too for anyone that's interested in recent turnover & who hasn’t seen it. Saw it today on Harnessed Facebook page. They state its “Turnover since the start of October, listed from highest to lowest based on turnover per race. Colour-coded for the three regions”.

About 30 race winners there on list too, but just LA ROSA ($100k yearling) was the only significant Winner (winning $200k in stakes to date) Just want to chip in, that another $100k yearling on your list KYVALLEY HOTSPUR has won that much to pay for himself in Victoria (winning the Group 1 Vic Trotters Derby recently) with 6 wins from 10 starts this year.

Actually did it by chance kind of as went to look to see if Yearlings Sale catalogue was out but it wasn't & said end of month. So took a peek back & started to do the comparison. If get time & can be motivated will do the rest of Auckland sale, so that it is 100% accurate oppose just 50% done. Welcome @Gospel Of Judas about time you joined up over here too lol 😃 Introducing Gospel to Harness peeps. He is into both Gallops & Harness. You will have to introduce yourself to the Gallops peeps here. He is good at selections too btw Harness peeps. He won 2 of my comps. @Gospel Of Judas we have last round of a competition. This weekend, most of us bar 3 I think are on $0 & the leader is only on say $700 ish maybe. So you might want to post selections too when the time comes, to join in. $100 up for grabs.

Cambridge needs Michael House and South Island horses running there so it attracts some southern punters who would otherwise not bet at Cambridge. The more southern horses the better. People like Addington, big fields, better quality of horses and grass racing. If the north could sort out a decent summer grass circuit maybe some would send the grass trackers up to the race in the circuit with House. But, the north has turned its back on grass racing to its detriment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But (u were prob writing when I posted my last post. Re that Transport incentive so far by stable changes only 1 Cambridge stable received from the same 1 South trainer. Be interesting to see if next week any stable changes appear. Great idea and incentive but are people South taking it up. And if not why?

From memory the incentive was free transport up to race, which included all the normal stuff that comes with winning, any Cambridge or Auckland or North Island horse gets, but nothing over & above & as DR & I have discussed & agree & given evidence the racing in North isn't as weak as it used to be, its stronger now (excluding of course Manawatu). So they would therefore need to offer a bonus of some type special for this South horses then to come up. Eg a South horse wins, they get an extra $1k on top of. But then North trainers etc might say hey thats not fair. Hmm interesting.

Perhaps all those rumors re money are true with the Chief... Oh well their loss our gain. Im happy you are here 😄 Tried to help as much as I could with that thing as you know. No idea how it turned out, but doesn't sound good. Yes getting too much involved in other topics which of course peeps will have different views can start conflict & not of good nature. I just stick to the Harness site mainly. Would chip into Gallops side if had some decent input, but don't follow (the gallops peeps here are quite nice tho it seems - a poster PJ does some sort of comp too each weekend. Seems very popular. Think newbies as yourself are welcome to get involved. The final round for Mikes comp is at Geraldine, a link at the top of the side goes up anyway. And the winner must use price at Akaroa. And yes winners get paid 😃 27.11.21 Geraldine Saturday. Winner must use winning prize on 05.12.21 Akaroa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old racing calendar would have them as 4y-o now. Of these 145 Lots I took the 1st halve up to Lot 72. Where numbers are missing is where a lot was passed In e.g. numbering goes from 1 to 3. Have only included their NZ starts if it says exported. Of all these lots only 6 have earned more than their purchase price including GST. Have not included on breaking in, gelding, shoeing, training, vets, food, agistment, rugs or any other fees. Just the purchase price with GST. These are Settle Petal, HotandTreacherous, La Rosa, Alta Wiseguy & Pace N Pride, Last Tango in Heaven. 1.Conor McGregor $8k - 4 starts no placing. $720 3.Miss Montana $37,500 - 5 starts 1 win $9,050 4.Storms Acoming $30k - 12 starts no wins 3 placings $5,780 6.Needamargarita $35k - 10 starts 1 win, 1 placing $7,380 (exported) 7.John Wayne $31k - 16 starts, 2 wins, 3 placings $23,529 9.Funny Face $12k - 8 starts, 2 wins, 1 place $13,752 10.Aurora Stride $42,500k - 4 starts, no wins no placing $660 11.Mr Fantastic $62,500k - 12 starts, 4 wins, 2 placing $46,090 12.Allamericanlover $35k - 7 starts, 4 wins, 2 placings $33,230 15.Lifes A Cabaret $18k - 0 starts, $0 horse in training 16.Duffy Hollow $22k - 22 starts, 3 wins, 3 placings $23,632 17.Shaker Quaker $15k - Horse died on 19/11/202 didn’t make it to races $0 18.

It shows why the majority of people on this website , and beyond, wouldn't want to have a share in a horse. On top of that, a conservative upkeep for a racing horse of around $30,000 per year. It highlights how we are all different, as I have been in horse ownership for 48 years. Why? Because I choose too, and don't have some of the other wonderful vices that other people do.

Thanks, don't forget I also fall into your same group, Sweetie Lewey remember 😄 Id need more info etc but thinking (which of course this thinking could change based on more info being provided) is that either a/ stakes are not high enuf & have not increased in relation to purchase price. b/ prices are over inflated at yearling sales. c/ other reason. d/ all of above. Also thinking that the winners are those at the highest end e.g. All Stars and also those that are hobby trainers/owner or smaller trainers/owners e.g. B Negus, as an example purchases a horse or 2 at weanling sales for say $5k, has the usual horse costs but just time as his own time to train so no training fees. If that horse then wins say $20-30 ish k as a 2-3 y/o then gets sold on to Aus for a profit. Im thinking with Sweetie Lewey, not to sell, no matter the price. Think Sweetie will be a riding horse post racing 🏇 Ill edit here as PS didn't notice @Wilfredanother new sign up. Welcome. Hope you enjoy the site whether you are here for Harness, Gallops or the comps 😄 Edited November 22, 2021 by karrotsishere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
