Gday kiwi...
I like the idea of following some trainers... I like ones that do not have huge numbers of runners, I think you would go broke backing ALL Waterhouse or Hawkes runners in the long term or for that matter any of the big stables..... no doubt someone will throw some light on that... There are a couple of trainers worth looking at the the moment.. In Victoria DK Weir is going great guns as is M Kent.. You could do way worse than to have a look at these blokes runners... Freedman sneaks plenty of maidens out to the provs for an easy kill on a regular basis and is pretty successful..... In NSW Mark Mason and Craig Martin are very impressive and are definetly worth a look.. There is a bit of a drawback with these guys they quite often compete against each other, which can make it interesting..
Earlier in the thread a contributor mentioned not worrying too much about weight... I am not so sure about that... To my mind any thing over 57.5 or 58 kg is starting to get a bit risky.. but each to their own... |
