Northam Stakes DayWest Australian Racing

Chris

The Avon returns.

Lots of chatter about Western Empire bouncing back.

Is Miss Intention purring for this race tomorrow?

Chris

Just backed Miss and she got scratched 30 seconds later :-j

SLIPPERGOLDEN

So now a case of Dis Miss ;))

Gee Holly Watson must have really wanted that win in R2... blatantly abused the whip rule, or made a big mistake? Either way I'd imagine a bit lighter in the pocket if the stewards are on the ball today

Thunderstruck

He is back alright.Won that in emphatic fashion.
William too seems to be back in peak winning form.

Did Bob transfer this gelding to John Leek only to see it flop then decided to sell it and it went back to the original Trainer with new Owners and it has won at it's second start after a good first up result? 

Is that right or have I missed something ?

Well I guess the stewards weren't on the ball today at all. No mention of this one, nor Joey Azzopardi in R5.
From what i saw, each of these examples were in the vicinity of 10x strikes before the 100m. These would normally attract a big fine or even suspension if their record was poor.

No I don't think you have missed anything there Damien.

Went to Danny O'Brien first, had a few runs then to Leek.

I used to think anyone could train bobs horses to win. But im quickly forming an alternate opinion.

Ngawyni

Midnight Blue (Caulfield) and Treasured Queen both won on Saturday for new owners/trainers.

Gilgamesh

Reliable Queen on Thursday at Pinj too.

Far more Bob bred horses winning for new connnections than for Bob unfortunately.

The jumper looks to be flying and Frigid come back well so hopefully they can be a mini flagship and he can start getting some better outcomes locally.
