So now Swayzee is coming to New Zealand after all. Oh man I hope Leap To Fame makes it, even though I doubt he will. What sort of race will it be if we get Swayzee v Leap To Fame v Merlin. Larry v Patrick v the Wiz. The race of the century this will […]
Leap To Fame blood count isn’t right isn’t right. He won’t be boarding his flight to New Zealand tomorrow. Larry’s Cup campaign’s in disarray. At this stable is still saying he will go if Grant Dixon can get fix his bloods up, but the only remaining flight to Christchurch now goes via Auckland and would […]
Mark Jones ‘magic’ run with Rush continued when she made it 4 from 5 since joining his stable in the rating 51 up trot. How much time is Jones really spending out at Woodend Beach. Bob Butt spends a lot, because he’s stabled there. His trotting star of the Brisbane winter Bet N Win was […]

Our favorite Kiwi trot trainer Mark Jones needs just one more winner to make it to the 800 career wins mark. Will he ever get there is the question most are asking? Jones has been stranded on 700 for the past 5 weeks since he last trained a winner, and hasn’t even looked like getting […]
In the 13 editions of the NZ cup run since Art Major progeny have been old enough to start (5yo – now 4YO under the revised age dates), the all time champion Bettor’s Delight has won 6 cups and provided 15 placegetters. In contrast Art Major a well compiled 4 placegetters (1 x 2nd & […]
