I expected Merlin to be the best pacer in NZ this season, but his form has tapered right off. I'd place The Pub Party above DSD however. DSD largely disappointing other than his NZ Cup run for 2nd to Swayzee.
-
The list is - The LONGINES World's Best Racehorse Rankings for 3yos and upwards which raced between 1st January 2025 - 9th March 2025 - so it is a bit skewed but still quite an achievement for an owner breeder in NZ. Congratulations to them.

Ferguson would do 6 months for that drive on a 1.40 favourite in Australia. Only had to mooch around and sit parked to win that by lengths.

The list doesn't include Via Sistina or Mr Brightside who I thought would have been rated up there

Don't Stop Dreaming the best mate. Left Mo'unga well behind in the last NZ Cup. Can't see him making up the difference. DSD was excellent at Menangle last week too. The Whale on the money tonight . Was carrying on about MISS BEBE on his Whale Watch and I was about to write it off and Lo and Behold, it zips down the outside and wins well at 6-1. His best of night won the first as well. Mo'unga might be left out to dry tonight . Craig Ferguson not a right-handed expert either. How about Maurice from the pole draw in that, at 40-1 ? 🤣👍💰 -
If that was their reasoning for leaving them in tomorrow then fair enough.....still hard to frame an "actual" market though

Probably left them in tomorrow in case the races got called off today before the last ,it does happen "occasionally". Race was after 5pm so no one in the office to scratch. Alot of the trainers are punters so there is no conspiracy against punters from them -
There were 3 horses that ran in the last race today at Pukekohe entered for Race 1 at Tauranga tomorrow. None of them are scratched as yet and all 3 are well in the market...so we have to guess what the actual market is for this race and what the deductions will be when they are inevitably withdrawn. Begs the question..... do trainers really care about punters ?....without who they would not have a job....

What? It's not just granny. It's the BBC, The Guardian, The Sun, TDN etc. and based on a news release from Frankie himself. He stuffed up. He admits it and is paying the consequences at the same time as warning others to be careful. Full credit to the man for that. -
Do you really think old granny Herald would really be interested in writing a story of Frankie Dettori to leak? Really? With quotes from the man himself, it's hardly a "media beat up" or "pure nonsense".
-
I would think the book has many pages, and many missing. Not for a moment is Frankie destitute and receiving Trumps food stamps, which Donald hasn’t removed yet Media beat up, pure bloody nonsense … Granny Herald probably leaked it

It is early in the 2 yearold season. Best to have small fields while the horses get 'race' educated and become accustomed to racing. All harness horsepeople know this and prefer it to racing in the tighter quarters of 10 horse + size fields. That would the Stupid thing lol. It doesn't take Einstein to realize this is best for the horses to avoid things going wrong. A wayward 2 yearold knocking the others down would/could severely dent their confidence and not help in getting them race-sound. A lot of young horses are not great at holding gait at high speed just yet. get better with practice. So you can see Why the Smaller fields are ideal for giving them a little room . There you go , you learned something today. Maybe the Policy Not so Stupid afterall. . Thankfully the policy in place means Ray Green and Telfers in the North in some 2 year old races already , and most 2 year old races in Aus have had about 6 starters and therefore no incidents. -
Race 2, was a Non-Win MOBILE Trot with 6 starters, this was probably held to give this grade of horse opportunity to race, as they last raced on the 28th February. Race 6, Non-Win 2YO, 5 starters because HRNZ/Entain have allowed 2YO racing with a minimum of 5 starters, a stupid policy in my opinion. Race 7, originally had 7 starters, but with scratching, final field of 6.

Looking forward to seeing Bet ' N ' Win and Mo"unga race tonight . Regan said Mo'unga still a bit fat but looking forward to how he goes this season . I reckon he could potentially be the best pacer in NZ

yes .very true. the magic millions in Summer is huge. forgot about that. The Gold Coast track only a bit over an hour away from Brissie as well. haven't been to those meetings but are very popular. We lost the beautiful Gold Coast 'Parklands' trotting/greys course (double sided grandstand ) in 2010 , when it was resumed for the 2018 Commonwealth games. for Athletes accomodation buildings for 10 days. sad beyond words 😪. That was the end of it and no trotting there (gold Coast) ever since. They are threatening to resume Albion Park Brisbane for a facility for the 2032 Olympics. That will be the end of it here too , if they do that. Redcliffe track very 'dated' and just used for country meetings would not be capable of taking on the lot . -
I see that Trump has now stated that he plans to take over Greenland. I suppose that the Wackos on here are in favour of that. Seems that all of the Republicans that said he was like Hitler and then capitulated were right in the first place.
