  • The 3 placegetters in the 2 year old race will all be nice horses in my humble opinion. Very strong form race.
  • Agree that if they race at 2 it is a bonus. One can enhance the chances of having a 2 year old runner through pedigree and buying on type. There is the school of thought backed up by reputable study that racing horses at 2 can enhance both the lon…
  • Malthouse would get around 10k if he stays for the lunch as well.
  • one of the more amazing sporting moments I have ever witnessed. Joey Barton, what a numb nut.
  • No worries. You are right. Mistakes do happen. Thank God it didn't happen to my horse or you guys would never hear the end of it. Clearly i've given it a fair nudge anyway.
  • fair enough. All makes sense. No conspiracy. So we are just left with RWWA ineptitude. If we are all happy with that no problems. I mean leaving out nominations is not a big issue in this day and age. They must be under so much pressure to get thi…
  • what barrier did they give you? I understand mistakes can be made. Weird that the least embarrassing outcome for RWWA eventuated in this case. Obviously by Leo Luck drawing the outside barrier when it was later included in the race no one else's b…
  • so if the Leoluck nomination was missed through RWWA error, am I to believe that sometime after 3pm Friday they then included Leo Luck, miraculously Leo Luck then drew the outside and everyone at RWWA breathed a sigh of relief as no other horse in …
  • Golden Group permission or not, I do not find it an acceptable business practice to be using 'money held on trust' which is conditional, to pay down debt.
  • What a brilliant ride P. Hall. Exactly what all jocks should do when you miss the kick. Don't hunt up, just ride for luck and if you get all the breaks your still some hope. Too often jockeys scrub their ears off after missing the kick, leaving noth…
  • in my humble opinion Northam curator was right to take his cues from Flemington rather than rely on advice coming from closer to home.
  • in my limited experience horses that don't jump well can sometimes be sore in front. Would make sense in that they are not too keen in feeling the inevitable pain from those first few strides from a stationary position? Just a theory.
  • Might have missed this info Pratty. Who is the new trainer?
  • Would the historical preference for hard tracks over here have anything to do with the no show?
  • I don't know G Yuill that well but I am sure he is a hard worker and a nice guy. I don't now S Miller that well either but if he 'smoozes' his owners then that is smart because they pay the bills. At any rate no amount of 'smoozing' will be a substi…
  • If you were to run her you would want to be certain she is top shelf. Otherwise better off retiring her unraced IMO. I'm no expert on these matters though.
  • And good luck to connections with D O'Brien!
  • 2.6 mill for the redoutes choice x helsinge yearling filly. Damien you would have to agree that the 3mill you valued All to Hard at is probably a bit light given what the market place for the family indicated this morning.
  • It's been a year sice the article that inspired this thread was posted. I'd be interested what the posters thoughts are about how these young guns have progressed and if there are any fresh nominations. Justine erkelens perhaps without knowing her a…
  • Sorry coldy. Being glib.
  • your best bet to find him would be in the winners stall!
  • You'll love the article on Balmont today Damien.
  • Damien the tufts of dirt were probably caused by the aerating and watering!
  • I am amazed that this sort of information wouldn't be made available to all the public. Patterns can be gleaned from earlier races but not all punters are in a position to watch every race before a feature for example. Aside from protecting punters …
  • If I had the coin i'd probably stump up 'the less than 3mill' to buy him. I might even get most of my money back this saturday!
  • If we believe the rail was off ( I can't believe I've written that!), from a Sires Perspective the runs of Fuddle de Duddle and to a lesser extent Spice Again looked to have merit. The Sires should be a cracker given the runs turned in by the place…
  • happy to admit I got it completely wrong. The way it played was almost like the inside had been watered to offset the usual bias!
  • Intriguing post ice. Please elaborate?
  • Intriguing post Ice. Elaborate pls?
