It has been moved a few times. They want to jam it in with all the other races on their "big" day. A relatively poor field was always going to happen. So many other alternatives for 3yos on the day.
From yesterdays Stewards report going back a couple of weeks to Feb 19th
Race 7 – WEST FITZROY APARTMENTS RATING 75 1400m
Stewards opened an inquiry into the ride on LIL ZENA (T Comignaghi) in conjunction with comments made by the filly’s trainer (A Furlong) in a pre-race interview on Trackside TV. Both T Comignaghi and A Furlong were interviewed, with the matter being adjourned for further consideration of all available evidence
Might put Anna talking to Trackside in future!
In case you missed it, what was true and what wasn’t…….
Thought Slotkin did ok, but fair to say the Dems are in a tough place right now.
Tariffs on auto industry in Canada and Mexico paused for a month. Someone finally realised parts made there get slugged every time they criss cross the border…..cars won’t be getting cheaper that’s for sure. Dodge RAM went from $80,000 to $100,000….🙈

Why they simply didn't shift the Derby is interesting.
Harness racing often run the Derby same day as the Oaks which is also interesting.
Something wrong, posted twice.
Aside from the fact the horse seemed massively over priced as a maiden at the end January $256,000 or 40% of the total proceeds are allocated to administration costs? For half a horse? That is extraordinary. How long do the training vet agistments costs cover?
Ashlee Strawbridge rode Anhedonia yesterday plus 3 others. Daughter of Michelle Strawbridge formerly Hopkins top jumps jockey. Ashlee is an apprentice to watch out for in the future.
More likely to be Ardalio or Zormella as they're paying $41. With pathetic promise you are allowed to win $2000.
How ridiculous that they come up with a 3.5 million dollar race, spend all this money and effort promoting it as New Zealand's biggest race and then limit a punter to a bet of $50.

This might be a short thread because I may well have it wrong, but this seems to be yet another case of Entains computer system being less than stable / honest
I'll be the 2nd person to admit (after my wife) that I'm not as sharp as I used to be so I'm hoping someone can confirm that and tell me where I went wrong, or .......
I took a multi tonight, and as there is no longer the 'potential win' display as they used to have in the 'old' system, I have a calculator to simulate the results.
My workings for $5.18 stake per unit are:
Yet the payout is:
$119.80
ALL fields appeared to be free of scratchings (I checked for possible deductions), apart from, and I have seen other instances of this , a 'duplicated' runner (8) - maybe they are making a deduction for that?
