We do have one stakes race for 2yos at 1600m very late in the season but a 2000m 2yo race is unheard. of I suspect unthinkable here due to the wet tracks. -

If that is true it is pretty poor. Some of our horse people can be a bit...rough around the edges but we are allowed to expect some decent information in an interview. When I am watching pre-race the comments from Emily Bosson (I think) about which horse looks good, can be valuable. Other than that I do not pay much attention to what the trainers might say. Surely we can work out that, for example, someone like Rogerson starting a horse on a cups trail, in a 1400m at Te Rapa four months before the Auckland Cup, that animal is going to be ridden quietly, shall we say, no matter what BS might come out of the trainer's mouth. -

And then there was an 'interview' before this years Auckland Cup Rodley "So what are his chances" Trainer "a bloke asked me out the back I said "he's BLACK and he's old, he said "I'd rather be BLACK" WTAF?? Why would ANYONE bring racism into an interview? As a direct result of this ENTAIN decided to fund media training for idiot stake holders who remain cluless to this day. -
My daughters boyfriend 22yrs old & his mates are the target. They all have Betcha accounts, they are glued to their phones pre race watching odds changes, they have never heard of Lethal or care. To them he’s boring, mono toned & a turn off as he tips $2 shots consistently. They also don’t like the CD commentator as his picks are shit & he comes across a bit arrogant. The TAB guy who comes on with updates & market movers they find interesting & they love the hot horse concept. These young fellas have all started punting thanks to Betcha, they already think racings boring with the long gap between NZ races on a Sat, the last thing they want is 10 mins build up to a race with presenters who are barely awake themselves.

Hokey is talking about conmen and liars he wants to look in the mirror and mention the word MORON. The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy or maintaining America’s nuclear arsenal, according to a new report. A National Foundation for American Policy analysis concluded the spending on farmers was also higher than the annual budgets of several government agencies. “The amount of money raises questions about the strategy of imposing tariffs and permitting the use of taxpayer money to shield policymakers from the consequences of their actions,” according to the analysis.

I am a friend….a very early crow on all of this … for all stallions involved… so much emphasis on a stallion and little on the mare calibre… mares only have 1 foal a year and stallions so many… However, I do like this stallion for one of my mares. kodiac has done it from the ground up and is proven himself as a source of speed. HY a DUAL G1 winner @ 3 and 4 after being a G2 winner at 2 Hello Youmzain’s family / bottom line is made up of shamardal, Sadler’s Wells, Mill Reef, and a German family full of champion horses - slip anchor etc. so plenty to play with… so seems ok right!

So the idea of a 2000m race for 2-y-o seems strange to you? I get that. Oddly enough, we've gone the other way and our most important 2-y-o races are over 1400m and 1600m - it's only the coming of the Commonwealth Cup over 1200m at Ascot which has given a new lease of life to the sprinting juveniles. Even so, this year's winner, INISHERIN, had come off a sixth place in the Guineas.

A quick look back at last weekend's action. The Newbury meeting was badly affected by heavy rain and thunderstorms. On Friday, the ground deteriorated to Soft and by Saturday, following further rain, it was Heavy and this led to a spate of withdrawls with 27 coming out on the Saturday card. WITNESS STAND had run second in the Horris Hill over the Newbury 1400m as a juvenile so back over the course and distance in Listed company on Friday, he was one of the few who acted on the ground and scored a convincing win over ENGLISH OAK. Saturday's Mill Reef saw four late withdrawals including SHADOW OF LIGHT and SYMBOL OF DESTINY but the money came for BRIAN over POWERFUL GLORY. However, this was one of those instances where the market got it wrong as POWERFUL GLORY scored a convincing win over outsider LA BELLOTA. Winning jockey Oisin Orr commented after the race POWERFUL GLORY hated every step on the ground and it was only class and courage got him home. He's by Cotai Glory out of a Kodiac mare - Kodiac went on the soft if memory serves - so 1400m should be his optimum. Whether we'll see him again this season I don't know. The big handicap was at Ayr and a remarkable achievement by trainer Karl Burke to saddle the first three home in the 25-runner Gold Cup over 1200m. The winner, LETHAL LEVI, broke the track record running the trip in 1 minute 7.75 seconds. At odds of 20/1, 66/1 and 40/1, the Trifecta on the three Burke horses paid a cool £60,053.90 for a £1 bet - nice work if you can get it.
