Double R Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Will it be the North Island with : South Coast Arden, Copy That, Bad To The Bone, Kango, or Dance Time. or The South Island with the rest. I reckon the North Island may well have two of the first three in the finish. Any thoughts? Edited October 27, 2021 by Double R 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double R Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) I will be a starter to be in your North Island cheerleaders group, Karrots. I have a feeling we are going to be very busy over Cup week, with the North Island Harness, and Thoroughbred representatives being very prominent in not only the big races, but the minor races as well. Let's get ready to rumble!!!! Edited October 27, 2021 by Double R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Coast Arden 5th, Copy That 6th, Bad To The Bone 7th, Kango 8th , or Dance Time 9th. My assessment sees Self Assured (with no handicap after easy win last year), A 'Dunn' runner , and either PembrookP or Laver making up the placings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Assured is up against it this time and they wont make it easy for him should he step. If he bobbles away I cant see him winning for mine, there is too much class in that field to overcome from a handicap. My smoky would be Pembrooke Playboy of the Southerners. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thorn in the side of ALLStars with a former Allstars trained horse. Mark and Nat would of had the last 7 Nz Cups otherwise. SMOLDA beaten narrowly by Arden Rooney, after galloping and losing 50m odd , made it all the more painful for them. Fun-fact 2 today . Kerryn Manning passed the 4000 winners driven marker, this year !! what an amazing achievement>>>> to put that in perspective the great nz Tony Herlihy MNZM has about 3500 driving winners 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are Aussie Cheerleader BUT none in. Ok will do an update then. Think Globe & Double R we might be scary them off, with our outfit reveal. Remember Lightning, boring old fart Ludwig called us Childish for our FUN North verse South banter & Cheerleader Teams. FANTASTIC to know we have some YOUNG at Heart & FUN folks on HERE race place! 😃 Will perhaps add Addington to Team South due to his name & possibly Richie. So teams updated as follows North - Karrots, Double R, Globe South - Happy, Addington, Richie Edited October 28, 2021 by karrotsishere 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Herlihy's strike rate might be greater, although that means nothing really. I think Tony would of driven in a lot less races and won a few higher quality ones over the 40 years. Kerryn training way out in country Victoria, With a lot more day meetings available to drive at. but you still have to win em'. Still a wonderful feat to be the first Lady driver ever to win the Nz Cup. Tony has three of those I believe. Interestingly don't think either have won the Interdominion pacing Grand Final. ( My rated Absolute Pinnacle of Success) where Natalie R has gone totally mad, and won a stack of them, including the last one run at Auckland end of 2019. Tony winning quite a few with the Trotters though , being the driver for his brother's in law Mark and Barry for a long time . DIAMOND FIELD, PRIDE OF PETITE, BUSTER HANOVER all winning trot Interdom's for Tony driving. Some more homework for Karrots too lol, google the 1997 Interdominion trot where Tony came from 'last' to win by a snotter from the late amazing trainer of trotters Graeme Lang (the Scotch Notch man) and a 1/2 head to Kerryn Manning running third on her trotter. AMAZING and CLOSEST finish ever !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karrots, you should really disband your northern cheerleading squad as the thought of Globe and Double R 'cheerleading' is somewhat disturbing 🤣 The South will win the Cup anyway. That is a given.

Check this out MEOW - Here is the video of Copy Thats win today! Impressive stuff. Im really liking the walking up standing start practice 😄 Tick need that practice for the South. Also like the commentators both Teaz & also White whom is commentating today when they commentate at Puke workouts they both give some details/info about horses, to try to keep in a bit more interesting, oppose just saying, this horse is infront, this horse is 2nd, back to this horse in front again & rinse and repeat. https://harness.hrnz.co.nz/gws/ws/r/infohorsews/wsd06x?Arg=hrnzg-Ptype&Arg=RaceVideo&Arg=hrnzg-RacehdrID&Arg=291602&Arg=hrnzg-rSite&Arg=TRUE PS haha SCA is a Northern horse.

Double R Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 One thing that will be certain, the winner of the Cup will be driven by a South Island driver. It is interesting how in the thoroughbred side of the sport, that riders who live in the Waikato, of which many parts are currently in level three, are able to travel to Riccarton to ride tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
