@mariner4life Paid $9.40 on the tote, I think- but, I only got $6 because I backed the fixed odds earlier.

@Smudge Piece of piss for Miss Graceful!
Nice work my man!
That was remarkably easy. I should stop getting too excited about my horses but they're pretty useful!
I might almost have enough to buy into Mulligans now.

Well, since it's Christmas - are you guys old enough to remember Lord Module?
He was a stroppy bastard - inclined to break hopelessly if you had money on him - but, when he put his running shoes on he was the harness racing equivalent of Usain Bolt.
This is just a legendary line-up of horses in the Allan Matson Free-for-All...
And an earlier NZ Cup

@Smudge congratulations good results today for sure!

I was just reading Sydney Morning Herald year-in-review for racing and they mentioned the Frankie Dettori balls-up in The Cup; which reminded me (again) of his cockup in the 1998 Breeders Cup Classic. That race is the biggest Open championship race in America, and at that particular year was the richest prize in world racing and was arguably the best field in the history of that race (link below). And jeebuzfuck does Frankie pooch the whole thing!! (He’s aboard SWAIN - the Godolphin horse in the blue silks.) WTF is he doing with the whip??!! Most of the time he’s great, maybe the best in the world, but geeze does he find the right occasions to pull some of the biggest brainfarts in world championship racing.
If you’ve never seen... and you really need to see the stretch replays with your jaw on the floor...
LONG VERSION (INCL. PRE- AND POST RACE) (Race begins after 21 min mark):
RACE ONLY:
Love the race caller announcing the winner (what a great name!!) at the tape.
A Look Back: The Greatest Classic Field?

Need You Now has drawn well at barrier 2 in the $150,000 Sires Stakes Championship at about 5.30pm tomorrow at Alexandra Park.
Hoping she'll hand up to her stable mate and get some cover so she can sprint late rather than leading up like last time. I'd suggest a place bet but she's a bit short in the market.
Not there this time but neither is my mate who is the usual on-course jinx.

I see Winterbride is over here for the Railway on New Years day. $12 on TAB....nice futures bet IMHO
So Julius how good a story is that!?!?!
Had the futures bet on winterbride at $12 and a fair bit on the big boy too. So good to see him return from injury and still go beast mode
Winter bride a close second. Got smashed in to less than $3 too

Brilliant! My old man follows the ponys pretty hard, so we were all around the tv.
Good ride too.

@Smudge Missed this..luckily, I see!
Yeah, both her and her stablemate went poorly. Stipes asked questions after the race - hopefully they were under the weather, otherwise she's simply not as good as we thought.

In case you missed, here’s the false start in yesterday’s Auckland Cup.
That was a looooong time to let the ponies run to recall them. Ouch!

Awful day today at Omakau with Ricky May just collapsing while in the lead.
Was surreal to watch live as he just fell backwards and lay limp in the sulky as the horse kept going.
This happened about 3 hours ago and they performed CPR as ambo right there and doctors on course as punters.
Even though reports say he was flown to Dunedin he was still on course as they tried to stabilize him for the flight.
@smudge may have better details from someone in the know?
