Interdominion 2015

The feeling by probably many is Beautide will be an impenetrable wall with nothing from behind to pass him.

Leads by arrangement with Lenny (for Lenny to be sucked into second place prizemoney) or sits in the death and controls the race (as death seats do in distance races)

Guess stating the obvious above but sometimes good to state

Ok Here i go.

R1 Last Year this race started a Huge day for me with a 50-1 Shot, This year its close to a raffle again, due to the Driver. 3 Our High Jinx is dropping a mile in class it would be 1.50 if normal drivers on. Ill Have my $10 on 2 Roughies 9 Shipwreck and 10 Im Blue Double Dee

R2 Girls race Could end in tears and hopefully they all jump into a ring after the race. Horses Run for her Panella show starts this race no 2 Whata Avenue

R3 The way Gav spoke up Delight Me its home already

R4 1.50 Best Horse in the race But Lay of the Day at those odds

R5 Sensationally Backed and gets my pick 10 Ideal for Real. Back it with Sportsbet if it runs 2nd or 3rd CASH back

R6 Best Roughie of the day 12 Hectorjayjay. Backed Isaiah Early at $6 Should of put more on

R7 On Terror to Love for a Massive Result, Like i said will be sensationally backed as every year it happens $41 was a gift, Money back on Beutide Average odds $4 got some $6 after Victoria cup. Lost on a lot that didnt make Field or even run in heats so want 1 of these 2 to win.
Be a Great race to watch but Puntingwise ill stay out and just take a few Quads

R8 7 Franco Ledger the more you put on the more you collect, Every year a horse that should of been in final wins Consolation.

R9 6 Our Overanova as horse owes me

R10 My Best Value bet of the day Panella Show Ends at $9 Marty Monkhouser. Load Up

Good luck to all Worst Inter Field i have seen.
HAvent gone but will be watching.

Could however be a great race...Beautide smashes world record ...depends also on the race caller

Cant wait

Like Fight to Glory in the next, although the good odds have already gone.  Gifted race last week but still looked sensational running that 54.9 last half.  Delight Me also had everything go her way but wasn't nearly as impressive for mine.

Khan:
Like Fight to Glory in the next, although the good odds have already gone.

Very well done and assessed

and a world record !!

I think the market is way out in the next and Frith is a genuine winning shot and healthy overs but what a race!!  Can't wait.

Khan

Yes and what a race it was

How can a grown male get choked up about these worlds records

Dream of the day my grandchildren are leading back a world record winner

Well I was way off that time, what an extraordinary win!  1:47.7 wow.  Three wide to the death.  One of the best wins you'll ever see.

There's got to be something freaky going on with the track though.  She got beat in 1:52.1 last year so on times she has run 50 metres better today which defies belief.

great run Khan but you're right, they have run a record in every race so far...

The 147.7 looks great but the track is in embarrassing condition.  Why have it 2 seconds faster today?  Ive Gottalife sitting parked in sub 1.51.0  Total and utter champion no doubt at all.  But clearly it is like concrete

and Global view breaking the track record in the first.

If they had of had the track like this when smoken up ran his record he would have gone 1.46

exactly right.  the times today have no meaning in comparison to any meeting before them.

Well done Lloydy!!

Laid... For A Reason ....at 12.00's

Just cannot cop Gareth Hall.  Absolute Fwit

Cancelled the lay on 4 a reason

Gee he's good.

star horse.  would have been nice to see some opposition for him.  flawed format.  good riddance to it and all of those cripple European drivers

Absolute superstar and a nice rip up by woodley david hercules made two big runs around the field if he had just sat quietly and come with the one run he may have snagged a place.
even money after the barrier draw  even having to bet into an all in arket that was stealing money, lennytheshark weak as. Beautide is arguably the best I've ever seen when he's right  to sit in the breeze and destroy them twice in the  inter finals and running those sort of times is nothing short of extraordinary

can't believe they backed terror to love again like that in australia, great horse that for whatever simply doesn't produce his best here.

Thinking the distance should go back to 2609 or thereabouts....

Took lot of the 1.8 last night on betfair,,,traded it back this morning (for reasons i dont even know)....

Yet on a boring mid week country maiden my page looks a lot lot different from a money perspective



From that point ..strange such a group 1 has limited appeal

Hope others gained the profits ....result was how most of our third eyes predicted...

Can't blame Woodley for trying to get to the death.  he would have been hoping Beautide would let him go and then come around him.  worth asking.  it did not work so bad luck.

Harness racing to me is about speed and sectionals....3000m just too long to bring out that aspect to the races.....

(then again albion park was once the speed racing capital)

Apparently Silks restaurant is being re-invented there ...(under a marquee quite likely....man... in its day Silks really was a GREAT buffet

Beautide's 2015 Inters final times

Track Rating:     Gross Time: 3:36:6     Mile Rate: 1:55:8     Lead Time: 101.1
First Quarter: 29.4     Second Quarter: 29.8     Third Quarter: 28.5     Fourth Quarter: 27.8
Margins: 5.9m x 1.1m

yes you can, he was never going to get the breeze off beautide and rattray obviously had a plan not to get involved early for the front and to just control the race from the breeze throughout and that's exactly what he did, a very good, very controlled drive that ensured he was absolutely zero chance of being beaten.

Up $200 for day have some real good bets going. Franco, Our Ovanova, Panella in last.
Could be a great day.

Up $200 for day

Pity you couldnt get the evens offered to you for caring and sharing....or was that 1.99 yours

Never mind...traded it out anyway at 1.80 plus some...(then traded it back a 1.7 ish anyway...again dont know why ...think I was too financially focussed on  Sale gallops   )

Next time...

GL with Franco...

Have Stuey Lombo as the lay

Bang. With $$$$$$ to come

They should've shown it on sky1

Henry when I logged on it was taken and somebody wanted more at 1.99
I had a fair bit on already. 2.60 was a Gift for Franco. But like Arden Rooney last night.
Did lose on Better Down Under again last night.
But today will be very good day

Lloydy

They should show claimers on TVSN

Albion Park again soon...maybe at the new silks...

WD for today....

Been thinking (since last night actually) to offer you 10'ish Marty....(7.00 tattsbet)....but many many hours since Saturday morning so my priority now is a good walk....

GL mate

Henry.
I'm on at 9s for $100
I've made my Cash for the day.
Usa here I come April 21

My Email Henry
David_lloyd@iinet.net.au

I'll be up Gold Coast 1-2 weeks time.
If we Go Albion Park get there Early and have a steak NOT at Trots.
Last time it was the left over Dogs food they served up.
I like quality and don't mind paying $100 for a steak

yep Let's Elope.  As always you are right.  That is why you are going to work tomorrow.  And I am not.

I've taken huge Unders

actually I am not working but thanksfor the kind thoughts anyway mate

I thought you said you are going back to what you used to do?

Who cares who is working or not.
I'll work till I die.
Go crazy if don't.

Hopefully all made an Earn today.
Restructure is a Must.
But over all it has worked.
To many big races all to close to each other.
Crazy Melton hasn't taken it.

Perth they need to do huge marketing to get the NZ and interstate horses or we could have discarded Vic horses running around in the final.
Impressed by Derby winner and Webster must be fuming he never got a run but then again he did also run 2nd with the horse that is in the Up.

Lloydy

couldn't have said it better myself lloydy hope you had a great day, had some more on beautide when he got out to 1.8 that was just fair dinkum stealing money against that lot. capped a very good weekend for me.

every weekend is good for you Lets.

no its not, I was having an ordinary week until the weekend, when my week  went from a substantial loss to a very substantial profit but again thanks for the kind thoughts.

So bottom line is you won yet again.  You my friend are a genius.  A dual code (maybe dogs too), multi-state genius.  G-E-N-I-U-S

You won't ever catch me betting on greyhounds, hardly genius I try to restrict my decent bets to genuine quality  and or up and coming horses and the better riders or driver GP if you know what you are doing is a licence to print a small profit each week ( one bet Pacifc warrior although I liked Ti Amo Franco but missed the race and still haven't had the opportunity to watch the replay) and its not hard to do form for ascot or Belmont.  I had two bets in Melbourne Shamal Wind as I thought it was terrific and pride of dubai in the blue diamond as it clearly indicated at its previous start that it was the horse to beat in the race, Pride of Dubai was my only bet in the diamond and in the oakleigh I backed shamal wind and my old mate Bel Sprinter at the value and for once Shamal Wind was ridden properly couldn't believe Schofield's ride on earthquake as it couldn't possibly win that race charging forward like that, I thought it was the horse to beat if ridden correctly and had quinellas around it but also thought the price in a very open race was well and truly short enough and Battle Hero at ascot picked himself if you had been watching his progress through the country, he' a very nice horse and was massive overs in my opinion and I bet accordingly and had a nice double with  She's a Virtues as I knew that Temporise couldn't give she's a virtue, who I've been on virtually every start, 5kg and a beating.

Nice work, Letsy

AD, will be fifty shades of green with envy

What a joke

AD zooms past British Racing Green....

Next stop, Bottle Green

Is that all you won

Interesting no losing bets posted. What a fraud.

Do you want my number, I might be able to teach you how to do this properly

Bottle Green..... Check

Now heading to new frontiers of green.

Godspeed, Little Buckaroo

Shouldn't you be following Michael around on a thread somewhere?

He doesn't have losing bets. Haven't you been paying attention?!!!

Oh of course. Funny thing is he thinks he is proving himself and winning some sort of battle. All he has proven is that he is again aftertiming. ANYONE can post a winning bet, doesn't make them a winning punter

only had a handful of bets  of bets  I already told you I backed bel sprinter in the same race and had quinellsa with them and earthquake also had one battle hero with tonto, I was too busy todo anything much else also a token bet on real love in the Peter young liked the winner but couldnt bring myself to back it at WFA even with the fitness edge, also had a reasonable bet on carry the nation in the second at ascot and took some tri's in the inters wi anchoring david hercules to run a place and back him small a place at very big odds earlier inthe week,  did my arrse on heezabeel at ascot on wednesday when it got its tongue over the bit and had a couple of doubles with it and backed a million tears first up at ballarat ran 2nd on thursday as I said I was having a poor week going into the weekend but started to right the ship somewhat with Pacific Warrior at GP and hardly backed a loser on saturday from a handful of bets.

Like I've said repeatedly I don't lie about what I do or don't do as I have no need to and why would I lie.

Next question

NO ONE CARES AFTER THE EVENT

It's not easy following someone who's going backward

And you must get third degree burns.... Every time lets bends over and The Sun shines

Of course people care. I have just managed to get an account with the great mans bookie. Though I am currently restricted to bets only 24 hours after the event.

correct me if I'm wrong why on earth would I put all that work in to then tell someone like your good self, thought that one was a no  brainer. I've got better things to do than waste my time tipping tipping on here, you questioned my integrity yet again, I merely exposed the fact you had erred in questioning my integrity yet again.
Anyway I drclared beautide on here again for the second year running and the likes of lenny the cat and others are still running oh and I believe you said the Horsham cup was a weak form race and that the form was suspect or words  to that effect, (as Philadelphia man clearly showed in the last 150m of the shep cup that he wasnt right again and I never backed him at either of his next two starts in the vic or Hunter Cups) correct me if Im wrong but I argued that it was a strong form race think arden rooney who was thrashed by Philadelphia man came out  and then won within its next couple of starts the Hunter cup and  the terang cup, restrepo then walked in a its next start start, with assessment like that AD please can you find me some "weak" form races

correct me if I'm wrong why on earth would I put all that work in to then tell someone like your good self, thought that one was a no  brainer.


you are pretty quick to tell people AFTER the races are run.

Hang on bigshot, I was correct about Philadelphia Man wasn't I? You declared "my eye never lets me down and me eye says this is the best horse out of Victoria in years"


Ummm ................ I think we saw the answer to that. You were clearly incorrect

Now if we can get back on topic and stop talking to the aftertimer, I might address some proper harness form assessors.

How about the Auckland Cup field Friday night! Now that is grades above what we saw in the Inter Sunday, a much stronger race. Adore Me vs Christen Me and plenty of depth there with Sky Major, Smolda, Terror To Love, Ohoka Punter. That is the sort of race we want to see in our flagship event!

I don't agree that I was necessarily incorrect, as I said straight after his Shepparton Cup performance that he wasn't right in my opinion as he noticeably shortened stride after a very easy run in front for a horse of his quality, his performance was that far below his Horsham cup performance at his previous run it wasn't funny, a race in which he thrashed pointlessly the subsequent Hunter cup winner, not to mention for a reason who may or may not have had a legitimate excuse.
On that basis I had plenty on him in the shep cup and got my fingers burnt but not one cent after that and his two subsequent efforts  ndicated that my assessment of him not being right was pretty much spot on as does the fact that he hasn,t raced since, unless he had a virus or was bleeding or some other relatively minor ailment I seriously doubt if you'll see him again inside the next 6 months or perhaps even considerably longer.

Again correct me if I wrong but the fact that he was clearly sore or whatever again is hardly an accurate indication of his ability and I still think if he's right and sadly I fear that won't occur very often that he is the most exciting horse to come out of Victoria in years.

You can put an additional addendum to that also as I will never ever back him with hands of stone nathan jack driving him either, once he was on there was no way in hell I was backing him.

think they're lucky beautide is not in it.

I think they're lucky BitBliss! isn't in it

In his defence not that he deserves it but I will give it to him anyway, there's not much doubt that bitobliss was a horse of enormous potential but he clearly had big problems and eventually succumbed to them, still don't think he was quite as good as some thought he was but he was a very, very, nice horse when right.

Smolda the Forgotten Horse

wasn't he going like a busted arse though for whatever reason lloydy back round NZ cup time?

Sniff, so gracious, Lets,

The Roger Federer of our forum

Then again Terror to Love goes better in NZ as well.
Im just over the NZ trainers all get Busted using Blue Magic and Everything but nothing happens
How many times the man in Blue caught

Smolda the forgotten horse!?  It's super short every start while endlessly getting beat.  If you backed it every start you'd be about -75% on your investments.  I can't believe it will actually be double figures in a race soon, it seems like a law of nature will be broken.

Is Adore Me too short?

Great mare but after running 1.47 and change, and then having to travel back home to race 6 days later, seems like a lay all day to me. (if a market was put up !!!!)

The greatest mythical 1.47.7 of all time.  Surprised Ive Gottalife did not go over after sitting parked in 1.50 and change.

Still would have broken 1.50 any day of the week.  Poor Frith would be hurting today. 

And yes that race has a lap on the Inter.

I haven't seen the race other than the last 100m as unfortunately we had a telstra outage in our area and I missed most of the early program as had no foxtel signal ( haven't seen the replay yet either) but hate to see what time beautide would have run in those conditions against that opposition over the mile, remember the conditions changed later in the day

She is probably too short. I think it has become clear that her and CM are the best two horses in Australasia (not by a long way mind). It is just great to see so much depth in the race. These are the horses we wanted in the Inter to make it a real Inter!!!!!!!

The race is probably as much about how Adore Me/Christen Me/Terror To Love have handled the tough racing over the last few months as anything else. Smolda, Ohoka Punter and Sky Major come off very different preps and may not be so battle scarred. Regardless, it is a great race ahead.

Probably the most riveting race as it panned we have seen this season the Auckland Cup.


And hopefully those who have taken pot shots at Christen Me are now conceding. He is BEYOND ANY DOUBT the best horse in the Southern Hemisphere now. The undisputed champ

Now that is a proper race.  Mick Guerin pre race  "I will be stunned if Christen Me beats her".  Yep good comment

Embarrassed to say....I forgottttttt

Thought it was tomorrow night....

Probably my fault, sorry.

Is this the best season of a horse that people question as the best around ever:

Wins:

Miracle Mile
Victoria Cup
Auckland Cup
NZ FFA
Bendigo Cup

What about the Boort Cup

Probably my fault, sorry.

It is indicative of your importance on this forum.....

OK, cya.

Paid well Aussie.
Never watched race or had a Bet.
Never looked at Odds, I thought would be $2
Adore Mes Run was against nothing last start

Hope u got plenty

Now it seems we will never know ...


Adore Me fans will claim she was not defeated this time - rather injured in running, and incredibly game.

Christen Me fans have the ca$h in their pockets - hard to deny or argue, he should not be diminished by her misfortune.


As they say in the classics -- that's racing -- and now that can be bar stool conversation forever more !!

Good stuff.

Tragedy we won't see her again. Showed she was a champion this season, most of all in the NZ Cup. Didn't run anything but astonishing races her entire prep from that time on. More than one of her performances were just out of this world

I'm no horseman but you have to wonder if making her race so soon after such a fast run with a flight was the right thing.  20/20 vision after the event of course but I'd be amazed if it did not play a part.

Greed is a sin isn't it?

dead right AD, her runs this prep were outstanding.. some truly incredible performances.

Best mare of all time?? not sure a NZ Cup and a string of filles/mares races put it beyond doubt.

I was actually thinking yesterday where she rates as far mares go. I thought she is far and away the best since Blossom Lady, and if she had another season like she just had she would surpass Blossom Lady. Unfortunately she can't now

fractured sesamoid bone when running second, beaten a nose in the Cup at Alexandra Park.[/b]

at the 450m mark

WOW!!



Champion mare Adore Me retired

08 March 2015
by Michael Guerin
 
Champion mare Adore Me has been retired after sustaining an injury.

New Zealand’s champion racing mare Adore Me has been retired after suffering a career-ending injury in Friday night’s Auckland Trotting Cup.

The Australasian record holder for a mile by a pacer, Adore Me suffered a fractured sesamoid bone when running second, beaten a nose in the Cup at Alexandra Park.

“The injury is in no way life threatening but the prognosis for her racing again wasn’t good after she was x-rayed yesterday,” said co-trainer Mark Purdon.

“And she is so valuable the decision to retire her to stud was obvious.”

Just seven days ago Adore Me set the record for the fastest mile by a pacer outside of North America when she clocked 1:47.7 at Menangle, outside Sydney.
She then recorded one of the bravest performances of her career when she finished second in Friday’s Cup after galloping briefly at the 450m mark, which is when her injury is thought to have occurred.

Adore Me was New Zealand’s champion three and four-year-old of the last two seasons but her career went to another level when she smashed the world record for 3200m standing start winning New Zealand’s greatest harness race, the New Zealand Cup at Addington in November.

She then recorded a series of huge summer performances which left little doubt she is the greatest female harness horse produced in the Southern Hemisphere.

The five-year-old enters retirement after 36 starts for 26 wins and seven placings for $1,677,032 in earnings, including 12 group one wins.

She will be bred from starting later this year.

no doubt a great loss to the feature racing for the next year or so

in maybe a touch of irony, her 1.47 ran on a ridiculously hard menangle track might may have made her as a broodmare but ended her career on the race track??

The greed of backing her up ended her career.
