karrotsishere Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Here is an article talking about the the record low noms for Alex P. Also talks about Copy That. As he is also nom-ed for Fri. Green states he is not feared after watching the Ashburton OC race, seeing Self A only win by a slight margin. https://www.lincolnfarms.co.nz/stories/copy-that-surprise-entry-for-auckland-on-friday-but-whod-want-to-take-him-on/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 If the atc put on a race this week with Copy That in it, then they deserve all the ill fortune that has fallen their way with the Apartment development and more The fact that the Trainer thinks that he could get a race at Auckland this week is plainly ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happened to the Boss of ATC and his spreadsheet of horses available to run each month? He did this last year after the first lockdown ended I believe. Maybe, he needs to resurrect the spreadsheet to see if Auckland harness can itself be resurrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good run, and perhaps needed Belle of Montana to cart him a bit closer, but should have still been able to run down the front two, if he was in anywhere near his top form. No doubt he is a very, very, very good horse, and hope he can represent the North Island with credit at the cup meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karrotsishere Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Not bad fields for this Friday for Alex. Was thinking tho, based on the breeding numbers going down & if you look at field sizes at Alex. What is the forecast for Alex in say 3 years? Not being negative just an observation & thought. BTW you are quiet Royal Nod mind you, maybe were at track today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really good to be able to cheer on a fellow Race Place member owner. You have a very nice horse there, and wish you a good result next Tuesday. Robert.

Perhaps a North versus South, Race Place challenge in the Harness Million Three Year race, at Alexandra Park, on Saturday night the 12th of February? The South, with your Republican Party, and the North, with my, Ultimate Missile. It would also be a good chance for a Race Place, Hall of Fame visit, and big race night get together? Time will tell, as there is much water, and racing, to go under the bridge before then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karrotsishere Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 So word is ATC will consult with trainers etc over the next few months re horse numbers. Also apparently they are most likely going to join the business vaccine traffic light thing when it comes into play in Auckland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add, I am sure of Lewey will be an Auckland horse, because through lack of numbers, everyone gets a start currently. I think they might be looking to put a couple of Kidz Kart tote races on to get the number of races up towards double figures!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karrotsishere Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 9 races tonight. 4 trotting races - 5 pacing races. The trotters connections will be loving it. Getting a slice of the action. Good on them. Guts in while its on the table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Blue Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Auckland is on I see, hard to keep up with Spring carnival all week in Melbourne.

Lightning Blue Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Race 6 , and it's a six horse field , and Bernie Hackett has All 6 of them as Trainer. (along with partner Michelle) F4 goes to Bernie lol You could only dream of that as a Trainer Not that Long ago really. The big 16 horse trotters fields used to be quite spectacular at Auckland. Bernie must have a smile a 'mile wide' having the monopoly of it like he is getting lately. Bet he didn't visualise this when starting off in the 80's? Wonder if Williamsons should go for the same sort of thing in Southland/Otago ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
