    Jason Grimson sure has improved Betterzippit, his NZ record last season was 1 win from 15 starts, his Oz record this season is 5 wins from 6 starts and he went 1.48.6 at Menangle on Saturday night

    Cue Pauline Hanson.

    Find out what the horse was given on the plane from NZ FIVE days before winning first-up at Melton. Horses just don't go from Spark Plug to superstar in the manner our kowtowing, compliant and industry paid media give lip service to. I will never bet on another trots race until our "leaders" stop lecturing us about "integrity" while this BS goes on unhindered. This is just as bad as the Tassie situation but with more pleasant optics.

    Nothing to see, He has just perfected the "recipe to success". It's definitely an excellent recipe.

    I don't follow NZ but know that you do Trev. This latest win is probably not so much of a surprise as his instant improvement on arriving with the easy Ballarat win after just 5 days and the even better win in the Melton Final after just 12 days - you could say these runs over middle distances suggested he could run the time he did for the Menangle mile.

    There have been a few NZ 5yo's come across lately and done well, such as the Gath's Outlaw Man and Whisky Cavalier but looking at the backing for him eg Ballarat, I am wondering whether he was considered a better horse than these other two back in NZ. I hate to think what some of the NZers who were giving him a hiding last season would do over here
