Bloody love seeing Well Written back in action, that horse is a machine. Hope Marsh gets her to Sydney in one piece.

ffs mate piss off with this positive spin, the whole industry is corrupt as

Jack Morrison2026-07-20T18:21:00.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed, no one cares about some horse that's been 'resting' for months. What about the real issues like grocery prices?

Finn Walker2026-07-20T18:30:00.000Z

if you can't afford it just say that. Doesn't mean we can't enjoy the sport.

Sky Murphy2026-07-20T18:45:00.000Z

Honestly the whole industry is a bit dodgy but the horses are beautiful athletes. Lowkey excited to see her run at Ellerslie.

Oh great, another article about rich trainers and their expensive hobbies while the rest of us can't afford a bag of carrots.

Good on Stephen Marsh, he puts in the hard yards. Hope Well Written has a cracking spring campaign.

Drew Parker2026-07-20T19:41:00.000Z

Does anyone actually bet on these things anymore? Seems like a dying sport.

Chloe Martin2026-07-20T20:33:00.000Z

let's all clap for a horses' 'hard work' while the rest of us work 60 hour weeks. Gimme a break.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-20T20:02:00.000Z

Notice how they only mention the 'riches of Sydney' - classic kiwi brain drain, even our horses are leaving lol

Drew Parker2026-07-20T20:28:00.000Z

yeah... but the money's still there unfortunately
