Meantime we can enjoy our Picnic Meetings like the one at Reffton today, take out 3 trainers and there would be no meeting. We are in great shape here, thank God I have 4 trips to Oz this year, meeting up with our racing nut Thommo We have a stellar 3 months of racing coming up, with 2 big Trentham meetings, Karaka Million night, the big Te Rapa meeting, Derby day, Auckland Cup, Oaks day at Trentham and the big Sires Produce day at probably Trentham. All with stake money over 1 mil. Small by Aus standards, but good by ours Making the books balance is another story of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 I think he will always keep a stable here, as he comes across as the sort of person who would not let down the many owners he has here. If he starts to get some good winners in Aus, then the pressure will come on from the big owners there to be present more often, but he will still keep the NZ operation going, so he needs a top horse person in NZ He is very much in the mold of Jamie Richards. Young, presents well, presents as very accomplished and always deflects praise to his team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
