Rubira is a veryngood horse but he had a setback recently so might not be ready for GN Derby? I think Marketplace, who looks to be something special, is better than Rubira, only bad luck or bad drive will beat him. Rubira would be a big chance in the Queensland Derby if he made the trip. Let's hope he does. -

I could watch the Get On crew all day long. They don't need to try hard because their personalities are ingrained. Kiwis sorely lack in this area. The Formline guys are a little more serious, as is the show, but still entertaining and informative - and as Scooby said, you don't see Hutch or Ron turning up wearing an LA Lakers hoodie and Warriors cap. Aussies just do it better, unfortunately. -
Training is the understatement, goes hand in glove with the demise of Journalism when the Education sector changed it to Communications Studies. Do they still teach Elocution lessons at schools, or have New Zealand's standards slipped off the hill into the mudbath with the last storm? The universities / Education sectors all need a clean out and cleaning up there act -
Be careful, "Stamp" the horse might come back to appear at the Gates when you die and Stamp on your foot with it's hoof

@Value Bell A scan using key words Ken Balloch and that of K.Balloch as an "Exact search" and "All these words" of Papers Past NZ archives shows him as having driven the horse "Conway Bay" in Invercargill in 1966. Is Conway Bay perhaps the horse you were trying to recall? Balloch was also the name of a horse who contributed to breeding in NZ Those archives are worthwhile delving into as are accurate historical archives. Do remember to also look under other "headings" in PPNZ as there's Racing Publications in Periodicals and Journals/ Magazines

I like the Aussie guys from Formline . Also Corey Brown , Richo , Hutch , BZ , Greg Radley , Ron and Brad when they are on track . Just seems more professional -

They are mostly very ordinary...they had better ones and all are gone....and Popplewell turns up for those pre race punting shows in street wear and is so unprofessional...but they would for sure be earning some decent money, most if not all needn't some proper training ...at least. Jane and Guy are at least professional and do not ask stupid questions like Rodley does time after time, the same old one over and over what were your expectations today...cringe...what do you think Aiden 🤡,and poor old sweens tries hard but struggles -

Our "presenters" are terrible across the board. Only Jayne would get a job offshore, and that's because she has already worked for Racing.com. I like Emily, but she appears too teleprompter-driven at times. As for the men.... they are just poor across all levels. Presentation, forced laughing/jokes, lack of betting knowledge (which is different to horse knowledge), asks about track conditions all the way up to Race 10. I imagine they're all on decent salaries too, given they're on TV. And no, I couldn't do any better. -

HI Value Bell. I can't find any evidence of that. Cardy's trainer Davey Todd drove him down south. You might be thinking of another of Todd's horses Holy Hal, who was driven in later starts by Balloch. Incidentally, when Holy Hal went to stud, one of the mares he served was Cardy's dam, Colwyn Bay. -

The morning-line favorite First Mission hasn't been to the winner's circle in almost a year, but if his recent works are any indication, he will be in peak form Saturday. View the full article -

I would like to add - it's not just the TAB I put in a same-game multi on Sportsbet and my 4 options amounted to odds of $8.25, despite the four options actually totalling $16.25. Once again, I advise against taking them.
