Congratulation to the owners of that horse that has now earned them over $53k in stakes after the $140,000 purchase by DC Ellis for Boys get paid was sold on Gavel house for $1300.

Come on Horse, you've been caught out .. admit it ! Suppose you can't, your final clamming up and silence says it all

Good luck, it beggars belief that they can flatly refuse what you have gambled on and won and they won't pay you. You make a good point about not being the only one ! .. if you don't watch a race or check things like these sort of bets you would never know.

I look forward to seeing the sectionals on the Loveracing web site. I thought, to be honest, the same happened in the Mufasa. EL VENCEADOR moved up to be prominent but ran far too free. Even the favourite was pulling through halfway. We have in-running sectional times in the UK and they update every 200m so you can see the pace of a race in real time. UK races “tend” (without over generalising) to be like waltzes - slow, slow, quick, quick, quick, slow. In a 1200m race for example, the fastest part would be from 800m down to 600m and again from 400m to 200m. We don’t get a lot of tactical races where the fastest 200m is the last 200m. More frequent are races where they go quick early and are slow in the final 400m. It’s what some of the pundits call the tempo of a race. On then to Te Aroha this afternoon. Probably not the best card of races ever staged with plenty coming back off winter breaks. My thoughts for what little they are worth: 1.06 MONTANA BAY 1.42: INTERPLANETARY 2.48: EMBOSSED 3.21: VIVACE 5.04: MCCLENAGHAN To be brutally honest, I’m more interested in the Hong Kong races today.

Never ceases to amaze me when games at Mt Smart are sellout yet lots of seats with no one in them. You would only hope those empty sears have tickets sitting at home from those who had no intention of going but couldn't sell them.

Donkey Donelly at it again. He is as least as bad as Lamb was. The main problem is that the drivers are in control of the start with them charging the taps and sop he just lets them go. Last week there was Maui at full speed when he let them go and was able to put 20 lengths on Eurokash. Grow a pair or give the job to someone who is in control. Surely the stipes should be fining him for incompetence - these late scratching affect the income from the tote and is detrimental to the harness community as a whole RACHMANINOV - backed away prior to the start and was a distance behind the field as the barrier was released. Declared a non-runner by Stewards under Rule 213(1)(e) due to unsatisfactory manners prior to the start. Stood down to trial to the satisfaction of Stewards on one occasion from a standing start prior to resuming. ROCK LOBSTER - broke at the start losing all chance. A Request for a Ruling was lodged with the Adjudicative Committee to determine whether the filly had been denied a fair start after driver J Dunn reported that he had been hampered prior to the start. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Mr Dunn and Stewards, ROCK LOBSTER was declared a non-runner by the Adjudicative Committee.

Sunday morning question....discussing Nevele R yesterday and it was recalled Kiltie Boy stood in later years at a small farm / stud near Timaru in latter years, only came up because of Holly Highlander's win and the Gerry Mir connection somewhere along the line. Anybody recall the name of the stud? Thanks for any info. -
Hi Stodge, a good summary. The quick, slow, quick pattern of the leader dropping the anchor particularly applies to Ellerslie for some reason. Maybe the slight rise in the back straight is the reason. George Simon refers to the fact that they have slowed the pace appreciably, probably 90 times out of a 100 races. It is certainly not a prevalent elsewhere, definitely not Trentham. Having said that, we are clearly different from the Uk/Ireland where they continue to build pace as they go. Interestingly and thankfully the first three home in the Mufhasa (Captain Cook) were the three highest rated runners prior to the race so hopefully that will help keep its G1 rating.
