ODDS AND ENDS - not worth a thread but worth a post

[gutwagon]

Danno, I agree with most of your comments but lifting the weight off the horses back and transferring it to the wheels will allow the horse to got faster. It's much easier to pull a wheelbarrow with 100kg in it than carry the whole lot on your back.
Another thing with the leaning back is that it forces the horse behind to stay further back thus giving the one in front an advantage when the sprint goes on. So it should be stopped.

I signed up for a USTA account so I could see how a few WA horses that were sold to the states were doing but it says I have to pay for any info. does anyone have a site I can use to check their racing history in the states?

Thank you Trish. I tried it but it only gives recent results I believe. I wanted the overall results for a couple horses but it's OK. Ill just need to regularly search

Is North American racing hard? Some topline horses that raced one of ours are over there (Machtu and Classic American) and they won a couple but don't have as much success as here. It's also interesting to see how many NZ horses are over there. Just saw that Classic American raced Wyndberg Courage, Stateman and Our Jerry Lee. 4 Kiwis in one race

WOW... did you sell this horse Paul. Great for the mare.

Yep thats him. Went super!! Still got the mares other offspring and she in foal to Somebeach.

[Messenger]

yep WOW
This was the C0 of the day but the time blitzed all the higher grades
Hope you got some of the $9.80 (The first of a treble for the stable)

[Fan of Jate]

Left 2nd and 3rd and the rest of the field in its wake, absolutely panced the favourite. Is this horse headed for the big time or what?

I see Tony Xihira is the trainer for Chilli Palmer for the $70k Horsham Cup on Sunday
With Tony only having had 1 win for the season, I am guessing Adam Kelly (13 wins) sacked Chilli not visa versa

hmmmm... He won 4 starts ago, was held up last start and doing fast times. If the owners want, they can ship Chilli over to my Dad in the West - we don't really have the space in the stables but he can have my old room.

There's this really good horse in the West called Rub Of The Green. Fantastic front runner who is quite unbeatable if it draws well - which is great for it, because in its last 10 starts, it's drawn 2, 1, 8, 1, 9, 1, 9, 2, 4, 5. Four Leaf Clover up its butt or what!
This contrasts with our horse Three Blind Mice which has drawn 12, 9, 10, 9, 10, 5, 4, 2, 10, 6, 7, 7, 8 in its past 13. This is for purely RBD Mobile races, and excludes any Preferential barrier draw races based on C or M class, $won etc as that would sway the numbers. Poor Mouse - it makes me laugh/pout/cringe how unlucky he is.

I wonder if there is a record of the luckiest and unluckiest horses random-barrier-draw-wise in Aus. Our ones in NZ draw terribly an uncanny amount and I'm getting very suspicious of it over there that it's not as 'random' as they make out... I might make a chart.
