The Other Belmont 1/9/18 Review

West Australian Racing
Well I'm still recovering from the Lukes Gold win last week,
I don't know how PC convinced that horse to finally win another race and out-piked Pikey!
And didnt Prying Tom win well.

BĂșt on to this Sat.
I was studying and looking at the 8 puzzles last night and someone offered me the last of the food on the table with the push of a plate to me as a Ronald.
"Morrre Ron?" I said " I'm not hungry and dont call me that again'".

R/1 Of course I have to stick with Flirtini after the great success 2weeks ago. It was heart in mouth stuff when she only pounced late.
I am hoping for improvement in fitness and the distance suiting better. I missed the 1.95 then missed the 1.75 and had to take 1.6!
Only dnger seems to be Pablo's but he beat a horse that seemed to fail in a maiden at its first start. I will have a saver becos of the PC factor and the sire (lope de Vega).

R/2 I will just watch the maiden (still smarting at not noticing the Patristic trial win pror to last Sat effort).

R/3 I am sure I heard LS say how good a horse Taxadermy is. Normally I really dont likecthe sudden step up in distance. But there is something about this horse's style thst clinches it for me;hoping for a good JT ride too.

R/4 well here is an incredible price on horse 1! 8to 1 about the top weight who has beaten thm all before with great sectionals and handles any ground.
Well I guess it means that it might have trained off; but i have tumbled in anyway.

R/5 For some reason I cant have the fave here. I'm looking at 6,7 and 8.
Thisaway had great 3yo form snd Tricky Trev is overdue.cDiscoriffic I thought was overs at 50's. Sammy was a great win last time and might be on the way up.

R/6 If Reykjavik does the same as last week he will win. If he doesnt step up this week (can he really handle a soft track?) its a raffle. Even the aptly named Grey Enigma would be a chance (does be read the form guide on Sat am?).

R7/ I always liked Man Booker ; but where is Jerry Noske this time? Last prep did nothing but the trial was great and Pikey on. I missed the 3's and had to take 2.6.
The trainer gave many warnings re Pounamu. Olivers has the blows. I thought Profit Street had bar shoes this prep but maybe came off with last run. I will have to have a saver on him.

R/8 i was not so keen on the fave here but I looked at his sectional and it was v good; Sense of Power's sectional was not so good.
There have been pushes on the Forum of late for Capricorn Dancer and I have supported him rather painfully before; will put him in and would love to see CW performance if he lobs! I am following Bergio ; hoping he can improve this one like with Broker! I have already put an all up into a place here. With the scratching of the horse with the longish neck Jeraft, our local TAB have already shaved Bergio's price 7%; what a way to lose before they have left the gate!

Well may all your horses have long necks in close finishes too. And I'm still working on those treated pine tooth picks.
Good luck to all.

    race 3 apprentices race, just back the best jockey in the race considering how evenly bunched the horses are and in saying that I agree with your tip  :)>-

    Nice ride on Pretentious Chant. Whiting and I continue to not get the biorhythms right.

    What's the grounds for Man Booker's protest? I can't see anything at all untoward on replay.

    Team riding. I saw that on sky Thorobreds, they were inside the rooms. Good coverage actually

    Is protest for to many strikes with whip? No other reason I can see.

    Pike prob feels that of he was where rebel king was the same run wouldn't have "presented itself"....nothing normally but the look from by decree jock to me indicates he realised that the stable mate was bolting and the horse suddenly shifted out?

    Yes, I was on Man Booker. Thought it still was going to love too

    Be interesting to see who really fired in that protest. jock? Trainer? Owners? After his win in the last pike was asked to comment about the protest, and to me, it seemed he was pretty quick to state "representing owners" ...
