<p>OMG. Had to google and find out and wow sounded horrific!!</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>Awful aye!  I can't imagine doing that.</p>

[Smudge]

<p>The harness market to US is firing up again, due to the NZD weakening against the USD, but the hardest part for the horses is the trip. From what I'm told by a bloodstock agent, the regular flight to the States is: Christchurch-Auckland-Sydney-Shanghai-Anchorage-JFK and horses can't disembark unless it's their end destination.</p>

<p>Stuff that!!! Standing up the whole time as well!</p>

<p>they get a better deal than humans in cattle class:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No arm rest fights</p>
<p>No trips to the toilet</p>
<p>No reclining hassles</p>
<p>Food'd be the same</p>
<p>No Chinese passengers getting their bags from overhead as the plane touches down</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Clear turbulence when the plane drops a few hundred feet might be nasty though</p>

Any updates before the life savings get thrown on the nose?

<p>What's he going to do in Japan? A permanent move, or there for a race or season?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Just realised there could be some confusion - when Hooroo said 2+3 was heading to Japan, he meant jockey Mark Du Plessis . . . </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hooroo, I don't think The Fern is place for cryptic racing nicknames!</p>

[Hooroo]

Good call Smudge. It's just easier to type. <br><br>
Peaky is a good bet tomorrow especially for a place. He's a bit light for this prep but he is so well. Fit.

<p>Had an $11/$3 winner come in today as it was a horse we agisted on the farm. Ran in Aussie.<br><br>
Led from the front and on the bit on the turn when rest of field were off trying to circle.<br><br>
Let go and teared them up. Very impressive.<br><br>
Imposing Lass is its name</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I see she is racing again today at 1620 R5 at Rosehill, any oil on her chances?</p>

[Hooroo]

Haven't heard will update soon

[taniwharugby]

<p>Imposing Lass won again...shame I only had a multi for her to win and Peaky to place  </p>

[Hooroo]

Imposing lass saved my punting day as I was doing hopeless. Du Plessis even said he fucked up the race. Had the run and didn't come out when he should have. He was surprised back runner won. Disappointed with result but not disappointed by horse. He ran huge at end. He will stay by the looks.

<p>Barnaby has drawn barrier 7 for The Cambridge Breeders Stakes at Te Rapa on Saturday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is the true litmus test for him as he is up against NZ's best 3 year olds. Xtravagant will be short favourite I imagine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will be a bit of fun if we win.</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>Sprinting 3 Year Olds, I should add. Rangipo etc won't be there</p>

[JK]

<p>Awesome mate. Sounds like a big one!</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>Huge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jacob is being a little bullish about this too which is nice<br>
 </p>

[Smudge]

<p>Drawn OK in 7 too.</p>

[Hooroo]

Yeah. Agreed. All the pace on inside

[Hooroo]

<p>Barnaby's race is up on the fixed odds $26 Fixed Win and $5 Fixed place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will be gobsmacked if they remain that high (or increase) I have just put my bet on now and I think he is worth a bet. Expecially at $5 a place.</p>
