Te Akau TV - Thorndon Mile week!
28 January, 2021
Welcome back to Te Akau TV as we wrap what has been an unbelievably busy week for the whole team!
Our Premiership leading trainer Jamie Richards joins Louis Herman-Watt as usual to debrief the New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka sale, preview this weekend's chances and Jamie also unveils whether he considers himself an emotional person.
On Saturday we head down to the nation's Capital where Wellington Racing hosts another Group One and where Melody Belle looks to equal Sunline's astonishing record of 13 Gr. 1 victories in the Harcourts Thorndon Mile.
Along with her in Wellington will be Pokuru's Gift after being freshened and Te Akau Caliburn who takes on his assignment in the Gr. 3 Wellington Cup.
On Sunday we have a large team heading to Counties with many of them returning to racing after being on the farm post their Riccarton carnival. Each horse has its claims though and there will be some very nice each way chances.
We'd love to say thank you to everyone who takes the time to watch along with Jamie & Louis each week, we had some very nice comments over the weekend from people who really enjoy Jamie's insight on each runner in this series so we really appreciate your kind words and viewing!
