Racehorse TALK

I'll go a little left field in that race, the first up stayer that's been racing in Australia, trained by Murray Baker at Cambridge...number 8 LION TAMER should be close to $10 and has won first up before. Michael Coleman to ride.

Dowager Queen wins over 1200 on Saturday at Wanganui. An Oaks filly in the making.

Also liked the runs of Keep the Peace and Harris Tweed at Melbourne. Could both be in for good spring.

Gee are the NZ horses in for a good spring     

Anabandana wins first up, this filly is smart !

Favourite punters at Pukekohe are doing it tough today.

Heh heh

Jimmy Choux looks a worthy Cox Plate favourite after winning again on Satruday. Any horse that can make up that amount of ground on a frontrunner's course is special, indeed.

People will right him off through the red Ruler formline but Red ruler is a very different horse back in NZ than he showed here.

The Kiwis could be in for a good Melbourne spring. Jimmy Choux (Cox Plate), Lion Tamer (Cups), Dowager Queen (Oaks) and Sangster (Derby) all look realistic chances.

is it this Saturday or next Saturday the group one race series in New Zealand? Honestly never really followed them but could be interesting.

If you are talking about the sprints

Railway at Ellerslie Jan 1st

Telegraph at Trentham Jan 21st

Thank you.

Congrats to the little trier Atomic Force, 4 wide whole way and ranges up and wins his second G1 easily!!
Well done Mr Smith.
From the family of Encounter, he is a little ripper.
Bugger Hong Kong, this is a great little consolation, with another winnable G1 in a while for him over there.
Good stuff.
Also good for Dubai's Choice his interesting near relative low level sire who went for 1.8 mill as a baby.

Absolutely - great effort - and must be reasonable hope of the double.

David Walsh is on absolute fiii-errr at Greymouth today, ridden 5 winners so far 3/1 9/2 1/1 10/1 5/1 age shall not weary the veteran, nor the years condemn  And another veteran celebrating his birthday today won on a 5/1 shot at Awapuni aboard galaxy Star, N.G. (Noel) Harris, and over at Ellerslie, Masa Tanaka has bagged himself a treble including the first winner at $24 almost the bolter in the 8 horse field, when the result came up on sky with the winners name, the jockey's name was screened as NN, short for NOT NOTIFIED, must have been a last second engagement for even sky to not know who was on top  Jimmy Mac has also bagged his obligatory double at Ellerslie but they were on shorties.

and another winner to D. Walsh aboard Hemingway makes 6 for the day  (plus a second placing) and the J-Mac rode another at Ellerslie to complete a treble
