Time to bump this thread after a year since posts.
Orchestral utterly dominant in the NZ Derby. She'll be very hard to beat in her Sydney assignments in the autumn.
Lots of good horses to watch at the moment (and today, no less). Storm Boy, Fangirl are just two others going around today.
She did that easy, pretty special looking filly. Will be fun to see how she goes over the ditch.

Peach of a ride got Think It Over home over Fangirl.
On a personal note, had my 50th win as an owner in January. #leviathanowner

Nz Oaks winner Pulchritudinous has her first run in Australia, after moving over and becoming a part of the Waterhouse Bott stable tomorrow. She will be racing in the Australasian Oaks at Morphetville. I'm a massive fan of this filly and it loves running over distance. Has had one trial over 1400 a couple of weeks ago. Looked like it was to blow out some cobwebs on the track. Also running in the same race will be the horses that ran 2nd and 3rd behind her in the NZ Oaks

Thanks for reviving this thread

Im calling this a bet..the sequel to the movie Dumb Money been written as we speak, roaring kitty is back and already GME has gone nuts.. I suspect this could double overnight, like last night
we shall see

Exciting time in the racing calendar. Good number of group level races here and Australia. Orchestral racing at Ellerslie for the first time this season. I've chucked her into a same race multi. Quite like Belardo Boy in the Hunterville Mile (G3). In the G3 James Squire. I'm a bit of a fan of Ceolwulf and Zardozi. In the Underwood Stakes I reckon Coco Sun has a bit of value.

Not the horse I'm personally picking but the TAB is giving away money with its slot pick for the Everest, I Wish I Win. Bet up to $50 on fixed odds, and get what ever you put in with bonus cash, no matter where it finishes. Unless it wins ofcouse. Then you collect. Also the cheeky $10m opportunity to pick the order of the race. The options from the TAB is bringing in the unlikely punters. The missus has $50 on I Wish I Win and has had a stab at the running order.

Melbourne Cup tomorrow. Interesting field, especially as the best horse in the field Via Sistina was pulled and entered into the Champions Stakes on the weekend instead. Nothing is really jumping out at me. Instead I'm going on Sharp n Smart to continue my trend of wasting my hard earnt on him.

it is open as shit this year

The only horse I can see winning paying under $10 is Onesmoothoperator. I reckon the winner will be a horse paying $20+.

I saw on social media something about NZ banning greyhound racing. Yep.
This may rattle the equine industry. I assume the Rodeo guys will be on their toes, but Dressage and others have potential issues here as well.
Watch: Greyhound racing to be banned in New Zealand, Winston Peters announces
Advocates says it's the "end of an era of exploitation" as Winston Peters announces the closure of the industry over "unacceptably high" injury rates.

@gt12 Aus banned greyhounds a number of years ago.
Really???
Fuck knows what I've been punting on!
Hmm... where did I get that from? Somewhere in my memory I thought they had banned it.
Seems only ACT.

That's not quite true. It certainly dinted his approval ratings but it didn't cost him his job.
The NSW Government announced out of the blue they were banning greyhound racing in about 2016. Followed on from a lot of media coverage on animal welfare issues in the industry. There was a lot of backlash, especially in regional areas where it does have plenty of supporters. Also a few major media players here came out against it, seen as being elitist and lacking in consultation.
In the end they reversed the decision. The Premier (Mike Baird) resigned a year or so later, which he was probably always going to do.
-
The dumbest thing the Baird administration did was put a hard 12-month closure date on it. They soon realised there'd be circa 10k dogs needing to be rehomed (or relocated to other states) in an unachievable time frame.

The answer is: anything and anyone that moves.

Um, thanks, useful clarification
