Kalgoorlie Cup - Saturday 3rd OctWest Australian Racing

TheDiva

Last race for Ihtsahymn on Saturday. 

What a great horse he's been.

Think frair fox will win, but Hally will ride the grey with alot more vigour to take up a more handy position---- then boulder cup-since hallys boil under his armpit has healed.Hope he runs a close second in his swansong

Godd

Come play with me just wins

Ihtsahymn hasn't won on grass for over 4 years.

Thunderstruck

Maybe the galloping grey should have a toke of said substance pre race :D , go the old boy!

I think Divine Shadow wins but it looks a competitive race.

1 year ago wins the Gp1 Metrop and now goes around similar price in a Kal cup

I agree with @Godd, Adam wouldn't be running him with 62 for fun, plus he is absolutely"thrown in" at the ratngs. His other one (Mckenzie) has come out..as well

Sounds like Bartrader and Missile Launch slip ol mate

SLIPPERGOLDEN

Yes Bomber. Very soft cryptic selections for my Mensa Mates  :-B :D

Think he had to take the scenic route regards conditioning to race,. He has been reinvented by gulberti, there was whisper he wasn't to race at Perth City tracks hence minimal grass exposure, only two grass runs in his seven starts which one was third to spiritual warrior in kalg cup l/year and sixth in boulder cup this year, gulberti has won 4 1second 1third in his seven starts for him.

Missile Launch each way for me in the Cup. Primed for this 5th run in to his prep, just needs to find some cover, settle and he'll be in the finish.

Bobcat

Kalgoorlie soft 5. How much rain out there?

Wow, great tip Bartrader.  =D>

TheSwooper

I got excited. Saved my last boost for it too. Could not have ridden it any better. Track has been playing okay. Sun is out too!

Outstanding!  ^:)^

Big day with my only two bets at Kal but would have been a lot bigger if the winner didn't get that inside run to knock off Bartrader. Can't be too greedy.. Where's my mate? Here he is...  \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ <:-P <:-P

Credit to the winner of the cup. Made some fancies look damn ordinary

Yankee

Great Kal day Missile launch at $13 and the last winner was great odds at $3.50 When missile launch retires it can easily pull a plough or a stagecoach how big is that beast.

Thunderstruck

Well done Slip.
The old boy i wonder if he is retired now? Most likely I think.
Ran a brave race Itsahymn finishing off nicely just a lip off third I think.

SLIPPERGOLDEN

Itsahymn did run a brave race Thunder and Yankee I agree with your assessment of Missile's post racing career credentials.

curmudgeon

Nice juxtaposition R5 & R6 Kalgoorlie. R5 Brian (Gogs) Curtis who trained his first winner in 1968 continues to get Palma Merenti to deliver the goods at cricket score odds and Joanne Forrest who rode Gogs horses work during the 70's produced Stratocreed to win the 6th at double digit odds.

Has there been any reasons given for the deplorable catering debacle that was both the Hannans and Kalg Cup ?

To have people leaving the racecourse after race 2 after flying up to the attend the events because of extremely long wait times for a drink is a disgrace.

The committee of the KBRC should be sacked for allowing this to happen.

I will be showing my disapproval next year by not attending. The KBRC can get stuffed after that effort.

:-q

i remember they used to fly staff from perth racing up to Kal for both race days. Probably something that has stopped, but should resume.

TheSwooper

It was difficult to fathom that they couldn't get the **** and food right. 

Last year they went with the pre-purchase bands and had many more outlets serving and so wasn't so bad. 

This year they went with cash and had fewer serving points. Not sure what the logic was.

Felt like the crowd wasn't much shy of last years. Thursday's crowd was excellent.

At least the track race more truly than last year.

Thunderstruck

Pre purchase alcohol tickets are the ONLY way to go imo.

detonator

Why would you stray from what has been a successful formula ie beer tickets for many years.

Crowds this year for both Hannans and Kalg Cup would have exceeded recent previous years.

Heads should roll over this.

But on a positive note, turnover at the Star and Garter, York Hotel, Palace Hotel, Tower Hotel on those days would have been up because patrons headed there during the arvo when they weren’t prepared to wait 50 mins for a drink.
