Gerrit Schlechter won the Germiston November for Joey Ramsden with Taupo's Retreat the horse never ran a place again after that ..in fact finished last and second last in his next 5 runs before being retired..

Give everything but up!

I agree with you FH - If our going was so terrible then how do our horses stay sound enough to race here?

Llistening to Mike de Kocks chat on the polytrack.......he stated that if you change surfaces(and I have to assume that is a generalisation) you have to change the training methods/programmes cos of the different pressures that affect the legs...........perhaps when raiding,there is not the time to "convert" to those changes?

justin i agree with you it is nothing about the place, it is about the program for the horse.

Oscar is spot on. A magnificent specimen he has stallion written all over him. Good luck in the breeding. Oscar we will have to buy one of his babies.
