Since writing my prior article on the early retirement of our best horses – “Where have all the good horses gone” – I have…
The Brisbane Broncos are no chance of winning the premiership this season unless there is a fundamental shift in their psychology. This may seem…
As I grew up a racing fanatic the highlight of my racing year (arguably my year in general) was always the Doncaster Handicap. Sunline…
The horse racing industry is currently in a rut. There is an unfortunate irony playing out as a result of irresistible amounts of money…
Would be good to see Winx in the race. I think she would be a special. If they went hard it would set it up for her and if they went slow she would only be a few lengths off them. Class always goes a long way and as you’ve pointed out there’s not a lot of it around at the moment.
Winx should climb Everest
Bikkie Tin Blues the unheard of ex-Victorian having his 30th odd start running past Group 1 performer Mitanni to win by 9 lengths with his head on his chest. Extraordinary talent – negative, extraordinary result – absolutely!
The five most extraordinary wins of this century
The Kiwi Warrior Sir Slick I remember well. An interesting side note is that Puccini the NZ Derby winner is a half brother to Sir Slick. Being now long past his glory days Puccini finds himself in the stable of Wayne Walters at Mount Gambier and can barely beat a horse home in Adelaide. What is amazing though is that he isn’t gelded! He’s a group 1 winning entire with impeccable breeding. Clearly no one told the owners of this bloodline that there’s money to be made in the breeding paddock.
Where have all the good horses gone?
We are losing horses to Hong Kong but at least they are going there to race. Hong Kong, being such a small Island doesn’t have a breeding industry so it’s something of a separate issue in my mind.
Where have all the good horses gone?
Jungle Edge a midweek Sandown horse that had beaten Heatherly by over 7 lengths the week before, Faatinah by over 8 lengths and Supido by over 12 lengths. That must mean they should be running at Terang.
