My own fault Maximus Spent 1 minute of study If I had spent 2 minutes then Mogul for a win was a far better idea I got seduced by Jonny Cox driving Then he got caught being attacked by a horse he didn't think he could hand up to Howver he stopped so quick it probably didn't matter how the race was run Anyway, the winner's bets are on My multi is on the same as my Competition entry And I'll get my work done between races!

Can’t think who that might be … 🤔 Are they like talking about things like having a good old moan about something, actually anything is fine just be like lets have a moan. Plus can’t forget got to mock someone or something. Plus talking about something from like 40-50 years ago. Plus lets see, moaning about Covid. Plus moaning about Jacinda & saying Trump won.

karrotsishere Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 New Zealand Trotting Cup 2021: All you need to know about Christchurch's big race day Stuff sports reporters 0500, Nov 09 2021 TRACKSIDE TV Race favourite Copy That is left behind at the start as Self Assured wins the 2020 New Zealand Trotting Cup. It's billed as Christchurch’s biggest party but the 2021 version of Addington’s big day will be unusually sober, sombre and dressed down. Due to the Covid-19 Delta outbreak, New Zealand Trotting Cup organisers had to make the unfortunate call to host harness racing’s big day without a crowd. Much like Melbourne’s ‘crowdless cup’ last year, attendance at Tuesday’s New Zealand Trotting Cup will be limited to members, corporate partners, owners and workers, with no public permitted. JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Mark Purdon and Self Assured pace to victory in the 2020 New Zealand Trotting Cup. Normally there would be 20,000-plus jammed in for the fashion and festivities, although the 2020 Cup was held with slightly reduced numbers due to Covid-19. Held at Addington Raceway on the second Tuesday of November each year, the $600,000 New Zealand Trotting Cup is the most prestigious and richest harness racing event in the country. Where to park, fashion faux pas and advice on where to find the best viewing spots are irrelevant this year but we've still got you covered with all the need to know information. What time does the Cup race start? The tapes will drop for the 118th running of the Group I New Zealand Trotting Cup at 5.50pm. For betting purposes, the meeting number is eight and the Cup is race number 11. JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Members of the public will not be permitted to attend Addington Raceway for the New Zealand Trotting Cup. What time is the first race? The action gets underway at 12.15pm, for the first of 12 races on the day. How many people will be there? To quote Christchurch rapper Scribe: not many, if any. Challenges around Covid-19 restrictions mean the 2021 Cup day will be limited to owners, members, corporate partners and workers. A near empty Lindauer rooftop will be an odd sight. What happens to best-dressed lady and man with no crowd? Never fear, the popular competition has been shifted online and to entice people to get involved three new categories have been added: contemporary, something blue, and family fun. Details can be found at cupweek.addington.co.nz JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Fashion competitions have been taken online this year due to no crowd being at Cup day. What will the weather be like? Near perfect. No rain to speak of, a little cloud cover and a maximum of 19degC, according to the MetService. Is last year’s winner Self Assured racing? He's back after his stunning win last year, see below Who is the Cup favourite? No 15 Self Assured, the Mark Purdon and Hayden Cullen trained star. He was a three-and-a-half length winner last year and on Monday afternoon was a $2.30 favourite to repeat. Will he win? Even after drawing the second line, Self Assured is the clear top pick and stands a great chance of going back-to-back with Copy That ($3.80) rated the main danger. JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF There won’t be a party at Addington for Cup day this year. Who is the best roughie? No 6 Classie Brigade and No 16 South Coast Arden look the best chances outside the two favourites but for a dollar or two each way, No 17 Laver is the best longshot hope. He's been blowing his starts lately and is contesting his first Cup, but if he can step away and get luck in the running, he's a first four and place chance and might just be the best blowout hope at odds of 40-1 How many horses start the race? There are 15 pacers in the Cup field. How far is the Cup race? 3200m or two miles. When the field passes the winning post – after starting on the back straight – for the first time they will have two laps to run. JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Punters will have to settle for watching the big race on TV this year. How long will it take? Just under four minutes. Lazarus holds the race record with a time of 3min 53.1sec. Is the Cup the last race? No. The Cup is race 11 and the last race is race 12 at 6.15pm. It's a massive day for? Harness racing and the TAB. What will happen to betting turnover? Will those outside the hardcore punters and harness enthusiasts take an interest and spend their hard-earned without being at Addington and getting caught up in the party atmosphere? Time will tell but a record turnover from Kiwi punters on the Melbourne Cup will bring confidence that Cup day will still be a success. Who is the driver to watch? Mark Purdon and it’s not even close. He has the drive on Self Assured in the Cup but also steers the favourite for the Group 1 Sires Stakes Final for three-year-old colts and geldings, No 4 Franco Indie, who is paying $1.70 for the win in race eight. In the Group 1 NZ Trotting Free-For-All (race seven), Purdon drives Oscar Bonavena who is third favourite at $4.20. Bolt For Brillance and Majestic Man shared favouritism on Monday afternoon at $2.50 for the win. KAI SCHWOERER/GETTY IMAGES Mark Purdon will be the driver to watch in the big races on Cup day. Who is the trainer to watch? Hard to go past Mark Purdon and Hayden Cullen with so many quality horses in the major races as well as a few on the undercard but what about Cran and Chrissie Dalgety? Invitation Only (No 11 in race four), Krug (No 8 in race five)and Republican Party (No 2 in race eight, the Sires Stakes Final) can all win with an ounce of luck. Is the Cup the biggest race of the year? Absolutely. It's the race everyone in harness racing wants to win, no matter if you're a trainer, driver or owner. How much is the Cup race worth? Total prizemoney is $600,000, up from last year’s $540,000 but a long way from the $800,000 of 2017 and the $1.2 million it was worth in 2008. Is the Cup a big deal outside of New Zealand? No. There's a bit of interest in Australia but harness racing pales in comparison to thoroughbred racing across the Tasman. Is the Cup the only major race? To most people yes. But for the racing purists, there are two other Group I races. Race seven is the New Zealand Trotting Free-For-All and race eight is the Sires Stakes Final for three-year-old male pacers. What's a Group I? A race that is reserved only for the best of the best. It's difficult just to get into the field for a Group I, and they are the races every trainer, driver and owner wants to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
