I wake to read this morning that FRK is pushing ahead to the WFA KT this coming weekend and Pontiff booked to ride ,Brad Rawiller couldnt get of quick enough to ride Niconero and Willie booked for El Danna ????? Why bother he beat Hadblekorka and Danny Beau home for 3rd in a photo i thought his run was just o.k still beaten a fair way from the REAL CHAMPIONS [ i love how in the Sunday times they write LOCAL CHAMPION MARASCO RAN 3RD ] that does my head in he aint no champion just a bloody good horse as far as im concerned he hasnt won a gr-1 so tell me what other state labels there n on gr-1 winners CHAMPIONS ???? a joke IMO-
FRK is clutching at Straws AGAIN with the IMPOSTER he wont run in the 1st 10 over 1800m he didnt hit the line overly well in the Railway he and Niconero took of together and Niconero beat him home by 4L cant possibly see how he is going to turn it around ,the weight differance in the KT from the Railway is only a 1.5k not enough , for the record Niconero to beat Gilded Venom

I tipped Gilded Venom in Practical Punting, but I'm jumping ship to get on Niconero. I reckon, if we didn't have the E.I. crisis last year, he could be going for the threepeat.
For me the run of Marasco on sat proved it, Niconero was pulling away from him in the Railway and was clearly lengths better, and Marasco ran a cracker IMHO on the weekend when the race wasn't run to suit at all (maybe Jags read some of the comments on the forum re Surprise Impact??).
I'm already on at the $6 and now at the $5. If I get better on the day not to worry as I'll just have more on. :lol:
In the races he's contested since that day that he's suited to (namely Emirates, Epsom, George Main, Futurity & CF Orr), he's only failed once in the Epsom which was bottomless.
Was 2nd best run of the race in the Emirates, good in the George Main, won the Futurity and beaten a lip in the Orr. In the other races he's been in he's probably had excuses (unfit, high weight or in Dubai). Any of his performances in the races i listed above are good enough to comfortably win a F&V. In short - even though he hasn't won he's not exactly out of form.
He's without doubt the only WFA miler in the field. Couple that with the fact based on my methods he was the run of the race in the Railway by lengths, I'm pretty damn confident about the old guy - turns up in the same shape he was on Railway day he wins. WFA 1800m at Ascot fits into that bracket of suitable races.
3 tough runs in 14 days - I'd be taking the easier route and the more suited distance, but as everyone says FRK can do amzing things, so we'll just have to see!
wonder who will get the horse? personally i'd like to see another perth trainer or a mayfield-smith type trainer get him not a hayes or freedman as he'd just be another number.
if the owners want to target a doncaster or races in sydney then G.A.Ryan has plenty of room :wink: :wink: throwing it out there!
nothings changed he still wouldn't do it.
