On the back of Mighty Memories. I thought i would post my NZ Trot bet of the day. Throw in your tips also. Would like to get some inside info or your tip of the day when you feel like it. Not a good meeting to start Ashburton Meeting 8 Race 5...

Have never had anything to do with his progeny before yet the past 1.5 years have worked with 3. All were light bays and big horses (2 were 16+ hands, 1 was 17+ hands). They all had a slightly bulged foreheads. All had very large heads!! They...

Monkey 2nd run back, 1 run under his belt with a 800m sprint and not much else in that race, beaten by De Lovely in a sitsprint. draws better than Reactor, has an edge therefore. Reactors first run in a long time back in NZ, had 2 great workouts...

Christchurch was hit around midday today by a huge earthquake. The latest on the racing front is that the Addington is being used to house emergancy relief, and the PGG building in the centre of town was one of the worst hit, collapsed, reports from...

Interesting, and good to see, that HRNZ carried out random inspection of 35 stables around NZ. Also great to read that nothing amiss was found. In view of this did they tell Harnesslink which stables were inspected? Would make quite a...

I spoke to Tony Herlihy this morning and he believed Lex and Heather Williams - the owners of One Over Kenny - should have been compensated for the starting blunder in yesterday's (Monday october 25) feature trot at Ashburton. Within an hour of...

Good on Cran Dalgety and Addington for getting behind the high end claimers. I find NZers seem reticent to put a price on their horse in case someone is just around the corner willing to offer them more. At the low-end the way Mighty Memories...

G'day all, Am a bit slow in posting this however... for those who haven't seen it, watch the replay of the NRM 3yo colts & geldings Sires Stakes Final at Addington last Tuesday & closely follow the drive Dexter Dunn gives Cran Dalgety's colt...
