Next you will declare the letter 50 odd Intel agents that Hunter Biden laptop was Russian Disinformation. Those Intel-Agents where at one time in command of the top Intelligence Agency's in the USA; Again, you mentioned Morons now I think it's time to give yourself an uppercut.  

What I don’t understand is the difference between the Australian ratings of the 3 year olds and ours. Can anyone explain.  The above posting highlights a good example.  The two three years olds in Saturday’s Group 1 - 1400m another one. 

Trump and USA win again , it just keeps happening , Nippon steel . Nippon steel was going to buy US Steel but after talking to Trump they decided on this , On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump said Nippon Steel's $14.9 billion bid for U.S. Steel would take the form of an investment instead of a purchase.  Trump said the U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium imports on top of existing duties, and that he will announce the new metals tariffs on Monday.  So better  for Japan to manufacture in the USA to avoid tariffs meaning Trump gets a huge investment in steel and a boost to exports . HE KEEPS WINNING .

Whatever they attempt to do its too late in my opinion . Regardless of stakes they wont attract the owner trainers etc like before in the north

Colin only flicks them too . Its not like the haymakers Ken Barron used to give them 

I’ve never seen one of 172 pages with the detail this has. Something wrong somewhere.

Update post the Waikato Guineas meeting. Tuxedo is likely out of contention as he heads to the Derby, as will Bourbon Proof and Hinekaha.  The Derby now has only 5 horses rated 70 or higher after the Guineas, with Tuxedo on 77 and Willydoit on 75.  As an aside, Jimmy Choux went straight from Te Rapa to the Derby on a similar 4 week gap but he went into the Derby on a rating of 94. Is Prosegur the next slot horse?  She was scratched from Te Rapa and also now withdrawn from the Oaks.   The Aussie raider, Evaporate, resumed in a Group 2 at Caulfield and ran an unlucky 3rd.  The NZTR site shows him with a rating of 83 but his Aussie rating appears to be 94.  Can anyone confirm that?  If so, he looks by far the strongest contender announced so far.

doesnt reflect well on ciaron mayer stables my thougts.shoud show some balls and tell owner to fk off.

And a great 2025 it shall be 🏆

Not me, and im a massive Eagles fan 😂

Race lost close to $50k in the last financial year on race books. Most clubs do lose money on them. 

Now 34-0 in the third…….who saw this coming ? 

Blair Orange grass track form is 50% worse than all weather. That is half the reason why the turnover is much higher on grass. The dividends are higher because those dominating front running drivers struggle to do that on grass. Dexter had a far worse record on grass as well. Purdons training win percentage stats in their prime also well down on grass.

Great first half from the Eagles to lead 24-0 in the Superbowl. Mahomes will have to play a blinder to turn this one round.

Don’t rub it in Tom……

Jockeys don’t get paid enough. And there is still idiots out there criticising their every ride. They aren’t perfect, and in every race they can be severely injured in the blink of an eye due to many scenarios.  They are Brave and Talented Athletes. 

Yes. "Pride Of Jenni was retired after the setback in the Champions Stakes last year but thrived on rest at owner-breeder Tony Ottobre's Cape Schanck farm." See above link from Pete.

Racenet.   AdamDobbin Champion Hong Kong rider Zac Purton will be sidelined for six weeks after suffering a broken big toe in a fall at Sha Tin on Sunday. It means Purton misses the prized ride on superstar sprinter Ka Ying Rising in the Group 1 Queen's Silver Jubilee on February 23. "I'm really disappointed but it could have been much worse," Purton said. "I'll start rehab after surgery today and see if I can speed things up." As well as missing the ride on Ka Ying Rising in a fortnight, Purton will also forgo the mount on Galaxy Patch in Group 1 Gold Cup (2000m) and Packing Angel in the Classic Cup (1800m). Trainer David Hayes has put Karis Teetan on standby to replace Purton on Ka Ying Rising.  

Thoroughbred News.   Rob Burnet Four jockey's, Vincent Ho, Zac Purton, Angus Chung and Keith Yeung, spent the night in the Prince of Wales Hospital after two separate race falls at the meeting at Sha Tin on Sunday. In Race 6, the  Class Four TVB Po Leung Kuk Gala Spectacular Handicap (1200m), Vincent Ho fell from Oldtown at the 50m mark. The scmp.com reports that Ho may have suffered fractures in his neck and shoulder region. “He is awake, he is coherent and he has full limb movement. It doesn’t appear that he has sustained serious injuries but there are some potential injuries that are being monitored,” said Andrew Harding, Hong Kong Jockey Club’s (HKJC) executive director of racing. “The medical team will make an assessment over the next few days about what will be involved in his recovery, but it is certainly likely that he will require at least several weeks’ rest.” The injuries for Ho come after he fractured a T5 vertebra in an off-season incident in Japan in 2023, and more recently was out of riding after a pair of home track falls. HKJC stewards' opened an inquiry into the reason for Oldtown falling. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Then in Race 9, the Class Three TVB Midlife, Sing & Shine 3 Handicap (1800m), Zac Purton, Angus Chung and Keith Yeung were thrown to the turf after Legend's St Paul's broke down causing Silvery Breeze with Purton and Lupo Solitario with Yeung to fall. Yeung suffered bruising to his upper thigh, while Purton has a dislocated toe on his left foot and Chung bruising to his face and upper body. Legend St Paul’s was humanely euthanised, while the other gallopers escaped serious injury. “[Chung] was taken to hospital for further imaging and I don’t have the results of that yet, but he seems in good order,” Harding said reported scmp.com on Sunday night.  “There is nothing to indicate hen is seriously injured.” Purton was undergoing further scans on potential ankle and knee injuries. The stewards' report stated - " LEGEND ST PAUL’S was then shifted to the outside of CALIFORNIATOTALITY to obtain clear running. Near the 150 Metres went amiss in its left front leg and fell, dislodging its rider Y L Chung. In this incident, SILVERY BREEZE was contacted heavily by LEGEND ST PAUL’S, resulting in SILVERY BREEZE falling and dislodging its rider Z Purton. LUPO SOLITARIO, which was following, then fell, dislodging its rider M L Yeung when it was also contacted heavily by SILVERY BREEZE." An inquiry into the incident  was adjourned to a dated to be fixed to allow the Stewards to interview the riders.  

The owner has his own place Cape Schanck Stud, so my guess is that she was there.
