Hesi Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Maybe, maybe not Lou Te Keeti, the $10 million Lotto winner, has a Class C trainers license(Uhtred in R3 at Matamata). Reading up about him, racehorses are he and his wife's passion, so good on him. Spent up large at Karaka, hope it's not another Don Ha scenario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freda Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) I'd say. He will find it ain't so easy. But, good on him for having a go, and all the best of luck to him. Edited April 20, 2022 by Freda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 That was why I started the thread, easier just to buy horses and get them trained. I read up about him, and he comes across as a no nonsense down to earth guy, so probably as Maxi said, got fed up with being bullshitted. And if he has horses with Rogerson, then it would come gift wrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I still felt he made completely the wrong call moving Aalaalune from Jacob McKay. Pretty much wrecked a decent filly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Aalaalune, a classic study in a talented filly with good staying blood being asked for too much too soon for too long. I hope she goes to the broodmare's paddock and leaves a champion.

If you knew how and were that passionate about horse racing. Anyway, they say, if you win Lotto, best to keep the news to yourself. Tends to bring out the worst in everyone. Never a truer saying, easy come easy go. I suspect most would like the opportunity to prove that wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Lou and Val Te Keeti = Lou and Val Gates ?? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/neglect-of-horse-gains-500-fine/YURTOZ2H7GTRCICXVCE4GSXP4A/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Would appear to be so Purchased by Rogerson for $55,000 from the Westbury Stud Book 1 draft at the 2019 National Yearling Sale, De La Terre races in the colours of part-owner Lou Te Keeti who also owns Aalaalune with partner Val Gates. July 2020 Trainers Graeme, Debbie and Bailey Rogerson changed tack from their original plan to start Aalaalune in Sunday’s Listed Hynds 3YO Salver (2100m) at Ellerslie after discussions with owners Lou Te Keeti and Val Gates. Dec 2019 Probably in part explains why Aalalune was so over raced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 I wonder if NZTR knew of the neglect prosecution(as Lou Gates), when they granted Lou Te Keeti a license to train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
