80/1 about the place this morning. Give it Dana Dukes run it wins by 10m
You say that like it should of been followed... see his steer on Livura?
Umpires make mistakes, players make mistakes, jockeys make mistakes, trainers make mistakes, stewards make mistakes and yes even reinsmen make mistakes...us punters however we never make mistakes!
But fair enough I'm the same and sometimes curse the drives...it is what it is.
I'm a big wrap for Turvey overall.
Which part would you classify the mistake? The part where he took the FAVOURITE to 4 back the rails at the start during a hot lead time? Not sure on the percentages but there’s plenty of statisticians on here maybe they can fill us in on how many horses let alone favourites win from 4 back the paint at GP
Back to the Fremantle Cup...need to watch replay of that too, to see if Devendra or The Bucket List got a crack at them, they were caught up behind the tiring Bettors Fire. Noticed him swinging on The Bucket List near the corner but nowhere to go.
Soho Tribeca need to see again too...was three wide and thought might come into it..not sure what happened after that ? Possibly dissapointing but need to see race again.

Didnt bet - but i was hoping little Chicago Bull - could hang on - it was a great tactical drive by Junior - and he didnt get flustered at any stage and stuck to his guns
Echo the sentiments about Rassmussen not letting the stablemate in - kudos to her
Curmudgeon has been telling the world how good Lazurus is - after tonight i think hes right - funny that - sometimes you get beat - and its your career best run - looking at the watch - the overall time - and all quarters - its performance was out of this world

Now will that be added to Narrogin tomorrow night ? Bunbury Sunday ? Pinjarra Monday ? GP Tuesday or how about at the big GP meeting next Friday...all answers no.
Tabcorp in its wisdom holds onto that money and it goes into a 'twilight zone' ...might turn up in a Group Three race at Caulfield and on a first four...who would know, we are never told.
How they can hang onto the punters money that was lost tonight and just put it on a race or trot meeting most likely in Victoria and in several weeks or months time is a fair dinkum joke.
Punters who had a crack tonight..deserve to have a crack at getting it back a.s.a.p. and it should be on a WA trot meeting.
As said before Tabcorp were fined 45 million dollars last year on money laundering charges...they should be fined another 5 million dollars for hanging onto punters money without consent.

No sympathy for anyone who backed Wardan Express at that price, they must have blopdy rocks in their head!

Hall 1.
Purdon 1.
Pacing Cup - Winner take all.
Hard Copy has that similar driving finish and sprint.

Maczaffair at the $1.06, was very fortuitous that Shannon Suvalkjo was able to do what Purdon couldn't do and that was to slot into the one out one back and get a breather , he still would have won but the way Ayana ran would have been difficult to get past just the same.
He's a good horse but barrier nine and just $1.06 was ridiculous and never in the run could you have been totally confident.

At least did have him off the back row ( front line ) in my standing start race. Was very tempted to put him off ten metres too. He got in light haha.
Had Lazarus off 20 or 30 which were handicaps throwing him in...with the extra ground he covered he may as well have been off 90.

Lazarus best run ever...would say ( and only seen it on TV ) but Mt Eden losing about 70 metres at the start in a Miracle Mile over 1609 metres and winning on a tight Harold Park track would take some stacking.
Mount Eden could have sat 7 wide on the outside of horses like Devendra, Motu Premier, Vulcan Tin etc and gone straight past them in a blink.
Remember being at GP and seeing a Les Poyser horse driven horse sit three wide the entire race and win. Taking nothing away from Lazarus it was a phenomenal effort.
Does show too though how well the good horses really do get in on the handicaps....no weight to carry unlike the thoroughbreds...otherwise Lazarus would have 65kgs...instead he may get barrier one in the Pacing Cup and Motu Premier gets 12.
Luck of the draw is fair enough but the destruction of standing start handicap events has seen the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.
That's the path they took however and that's fair enough too...why penalise the better horses for slower ones..understand that argument too.
Me though I'd prefer the battlers drawn well and the Bull, Lazarus , Machete, Copy out at 7,8,9 and 12. ( Where there all still thrown in compared to yesteryear).

No knock on the three Perth Interdominions - loved 'em...but two of the three were leader , breeze , behind leader and three back pegs dominating the placings.
2015 - Lenny ( breezed ) Lovers Delight led , Flaming Flutter behind leader , Our Blackbird ran 5th from three back pegs and Avonova followed the pegs home to cut the Blackbird out of 4th on the line.
2017 - Lazarus breeze , Bull behind leader , Tiger Tara led , Vulcan Tin three back pegs and they ran 1,2,3,4.
Yes last nights race was sensational but it took Lazarus to be three wide the race to make it so. If he gets to the breeze early last night we all know it's another procession.
Was it the good ol stayer Keystone Express Riders?
It's rare, it's very rare, but have seen it done on occasions ( and over east ) ...three wide with cover occasionally too. Three wide without cover though - that's amazing when you do see it. Possibly Gammalite might have sat three wide the entire race once or twice to win or be placed. You need to be tough that's for sure and Keystone Express and Of Auld Aberdeen were and Lazarus and Gammalite there just freaks!
