Trentham R7. #8 Late Cuddle - Rosie Myers

Heading to the Trentham bog, so I must be desperate ...

Turfie

*Settled last, ran on inner in boggy part. 2nd.

Ellerslie R7. #9 My Blue Eyes - Jason Collett

Up a couple of classes but drops 6kg and has looked real impressive in his last two. Course and slow track winner last start over 2100m. Up-and-coming winter stayer.

Je calcule il est une certitude

Turfie

*Rear inner, got going late, but no chance of threatening.

Te Rapa R3. #5 She Rules - Michael Coleman

Turfie

*Crikey, a winner! Perfect spot third or fourth outer, up turn, edged to lead, comfortable. $4.30.

Hmmm ... posted my pick under the wrong thread ...

Ellerslie R5. #5 Salvatore - Michael Coleman

Turfie

*Well back to turn ... made ground late, but never a winning chance. 2nd.

Tauranga R2. #3 Goodlookin Al - Leith Innes

Turfie

*Missed start, looped field, stopped as if shot, last. Track too heavy. Forget run.

Avondale R5. #5 Matost - Leith Innes

Turfie

Matost is scr so I'll go with #3 Elusive Chik in the same race as a replacement and take on mrracebase head-to-head.

It was a toss-up with Miss Raggedy Ann down at Hastings.

Turfie

*Got back, wide, rubbish finish.

Turfie

The old pull in the weights trick eh?

Te Awamutu R2. #3 Goodlookin Al - Craig Grylls

Turfie

*Simply awful. Never again.

Ruakaka R7. #10 Last Blast - Matt Cameron

Up in class but loves his home surface and looking to make it back-to-back 2100m successes on the track.

Turfie

*Handy, up turn, too strong. $4.50

Ruakaka R8. #3 Ace High - James McDonald

Welcome home James McDonald.

Turfie

*Settled back ... Held up ... Charged home late. 2nd.

Te Rapa R6. #4 Amirar - Andrew Calder

Turfie

*Beautiful run otr ... Up to chall tn ... Battled. 3rd.

Just a little more about myself ...

Riccarton R9. #16 Ishiabeel - Darryl Bradley

Turfie

*Back ... Never showed up.

Te Rapa R7. #5 Queen Sabeel - Opie Bosson

Turfie

*Midfield ... Loomed up turn ... Battled ... Maybe track too wet.

Ellerslie R4. #1 Lamington Vegas - Michael Coleman

Turfie

*Great run in transit ... Disappointing finish. Distant 2nd.

Hastings R4. #1 Superturf - Masa Tanaka

Turfie

*Can't recall what happened, but he didn't win and that's all I care about. I'm on a bad run.

Ellerslie R1. #8 Betty Brown - Michelle Wenn

I was very impressed with this mare last week and she's going to rescue Turfie from the winter doldrums.

Turfie

*Wide, outside ldr, crap finish.

Ruakaka R3. #2 Upsala - Paul Taylor

Turfie

*Back ... Ran on but no chance winner.

Hastings R10. #7 Bedlum - Hayden Tinsley

Turfie

*Outside ldr ... led turn ... held strongly. 1st. $10.70

Ellerslie R7. #1 Dating - Opie Bosson

Back down to earth following the heady heights of last Sat.

Turfie

*Back, up turn, led, singapore sling-shotted late. 2nd.

Hastings R3. #8 Veronica Franco - Andrew Calder

Turfie

Matamata R10. #6 Banchee

Turfie

*Late scr.

Rottenrua R3. #1 Roi D'Jeu - Jason Collett

Turfie

*Settled back, ran home strongly, 1st @ $2.50.

Trentham R4. #5 Bedlum - Mark du Plessis

Turfie

*Handy, flagged it away. May have had enough this campaign or the gluepot was too much for him to handle.

Awapuni R2. #1 Blood Brotha - Keil Collins

Decent stayer who could win a nice cup this campaign . . . For that to eventuate he really needs to defeat this ordinary bunch - even with the steadier of 58kg. 2300m should be right up his alley at this stage of his prep too.

Don't you just love spring racing with the better horses coming out to play.

Turfie

*Mid otr, scrubbed up 600m, crap finish.

Te Rapa R11. #2 Eight Schillings - Allan Peard

Turfie

*Led, fght off challenger comfortably. 1st @ $2.5. Although I heard someone got 5.5 on final field at one point.

Riccarton R8. #11. Nightime Jockey - James McDonald

Set for this race a long time ago. Showed he was on track with a stayer's performance to win comfortably last start at Ellerslie.

Turfie

PS. I note that a fellow forum member Larry Lurex (who by the way has been quiet this year) selected last year's NZ Cup winner. Who said 3200m races were lotteries?

Fri Nov 13, 2009 9:33 pm

Heading to Riccarton where My Scotsgrey (R7. #13) will win the NZ Cup

*3-wide early, eased to midfield outer, up turn, led ... all over. $3.70
