La Dorada | Karaka 2024 - Book 1 | New Zealand Bloodstock | Thoroughbred Auction House
Ted and his wonderful wife Linda share in the ownership of La Dorada.
She was 1 of 15 fillies in Book One, 2024, by Super Seth.
Well Ted certainly opted for the right one with the assistance of DC and his team !!
Good on him and he is such a good contributor on this forum.
Rumour has it that DC has got him and Linda involved in a lovely Wootten Bassett filly for next years event ??!!
She probably cost more than Ted's first dairy farm.

Decided to have a crack at the rescheduled meetings from Saturday.
A couple of heart attacks with the first couple of legs but managed to get back my kick plus a bit more from the weekend.
Hope you guys all got home safely.
My shout in Christchurch! 😎
Copied from Harnesslink: The barrier draw reveal for the Race by Betcha and TAB Trot will be live on Trackside (Sky 62) at 7.30pm on Tuesday.

The barrier "reveal" is at 7.30pm tonight on Trackside. It will have been done by then, but embargoed.
So not done live per se, but the NZB Kiwi, which was done live, was something of a messy embarrassment.
So fair racing is all about the straight and what people can see. The nice green bit.
Forget about the rock hard chute or the 1400m start where the outside horses start on bare hard ground.
Actually let's sell everything other than the inside 4 metres of the track and just have a straight.
God knows how many will miss out on a start at Ashburton. Probably at least 35. Meanwhile everyone who wants a start gets one at Pukekohe. There does seem to be an imbalance.
The other question of course is why hold a meeting at a track that has a field capacity of 10 for most races when everyone knew there were going to be dozens of horses desperate for a start?
Incompetence is the only word I can think of that sums it up really.
Like the Brooklyn Bridge and Broadway, the Wood Memorial Stakes (G2) is intrinsically linked to New York, and of all the significant Kentucky Derby (G1) prep races, this is the one final test that every horseman wants to ace.View the full article
