Can't beat good old parochialism, eh Kev?

Good owners, good horses, great trainers and acceptance of nothing but perfection might give the stable an edge.

Don't know how many fingers you have, Dot, but if you clicked on Elle Mac in race 1 you get the first 4 generations. Click on the last dam and you get the next 4, then the next 4, etc. Looks pretty good to me.

Presumably the same number of fingers as you Trevor. Yes Kev from a phone, same as a lot of people these days. Can’t see an option on the site to switch to desktop view.

There are only four ways I can think of to explain their dominance Trev

a) they are better trainers than anyone else in the world
b) success breeds success in that they are just about the only ones given the best bred horses in NZ
c) only immaculately bred horses become superstars
d) they have found something that is undetectable which gives their horses an advantage

Call me parochial if you like Trev. I could elaborate on all of the above but won't other than to say that c) is not true

You will have to be brave to bet in R2
I have been watching the videos of the 2yo trot lead up races
Plenty of multiple false starts
They are baby trotters after all

Allstars win the first, no surprise there. Track is remarkably good, plenty of water in places on the inside
