R1: Follow up from the above comment, Art Tudor is more of a mustering type of the arm, to me it can be crossed. Blue Blazer is going far better than the numbers beside its name suggest, wouldn't be surprised to see it go on a little run if it can get some draws consistently.
R2: Our Perkins is a really obvious pick but does he cope a bit of pressure from Ace Bromac followed up by Four Starzzz Forsa? If he does the brings Attack On Command and A Boy Named Rossie right into it. Could be the race that boosts the early quad divvie.
R3: I think Mcardles Gem just leads and wins, very happy to take the $4.20.
R4: I can't catch Marquisard so I will go with Pradas Ideal Dahling to sit outside him and burry him, I think he's a bit better animal but you'd be happy to own both. Not betting here.
R5: It looks a really nice race for Chicago Bull, I think his only danger is Our Jimmy Johnstone getting the cart up on him, I am tempted to bet that way but I am done with backing runners drawn outside their main rivals for a while.
R6: Gotta Go Gabbana has a bit of class on these and can control it from the breeze.
R7: Dominate The Dojo is well worth a throw at the stumps here @$23. He is racing well but is just lapping that bit of zip in his legs at the finish. Prentice is going to run them along in the breeze outside Ideal Investment which I think will leave him a sitting duck for the Dojo grinding over the top from the 1 by 2.
R8: Originally had Rum Delight pegged as a good place bet as it is racing well and should settle in the first 5 or so but I'm just not sure it does its best racing at GP so I will let it slide.
R9: The bit of money around for Advance Your Dream makes me think they might over drive this horse, to me it needs to be driven ice cold. So I'd be looking for the two closers in Blue Chip Adda and Run For Mercy, Run For Mercy appeals on price but I'm trying to have a bit more discipline so I will sit this out as well.
R10: I have to go again Robbie Rocket. One by One on Lavra Joe I can't not bet at the double figures but again another Friday night race where I want to take on an obvious leader, live by the sword they say.
My Bets are: Blue Blazer, Mcardles Gem BB, Dominate The Dojo BEW, Robbie Rocket, EQ:1,4/2,3,4,8,10/1,4/1,3/ 100% costs $40. At Bunbury I think Joey Girl can keep her new lease on life going in R6.
Good luck all.

Surely it’s about time the stewards stepped in and did something about this. How many times can it contact it’s own sulky before you actually think that maybe I will put it longer in the sulky or use a longer one? Just a piss take really
a) TTMYM is well well well over 16hh with an enormous length hopple. What longer sulky? Show us a brand that is longer that weighs the same as the Gorillas and we'll buy it. We literally bought a Gorilla FOR TTMYM because it was touted as the longest in market
So show me one longer and we'll buy it. We'll wait.
B) TTMYM is a roller, not a sit sprinter, not a tough as nails stayer. All we heard was praise when he won in nigh on record time and then again in record time. We pull him back to the field and do 33sec quarters and sprint home in 26sec and he'll come last anyway because he isn't a sit sprinter.
C) he doesnt really overrace, thats indicated in races where hes been pulled back to last. He races best rolling. For that reason, hitting the cart isnt a bad thing. But see point a) anyway.
D) gotta love it when people who have NO idea about a certain horse and have never trained a horse have an opinion on that certain horse.
why arent we fining Zennart for overracing and destroying itself and the opposition every week? If TTMYM was trained by a pro trainer, you'd all have nothing to say. Apparently we dont know our own horse but you all do. Why dont you get your trainer licence and take a shot at training him. You wont even get him out the stable in one piece

I watched them circling around at the start last start on TV and he wasn’t even out to as long as possible in the cart. My eyesight may not be the greatest in my older years but even I could see what looked to be at least 3 more notches left on the sulky? What’s that say another 6inches? Could be the difference between hitting the wheels and overracing and missing them.

I highly doubt that. The memory may not be the greatest but I’m sure people would have been ripping shreds out of Run Oneover when it was overracing. I stand to be corrected.
RACE 5 – VALE GAVIN LANG PACE. 2536MS
TALKTOMEURMATTJESTY – Over-raced throughout and gave ground from the 600 metres to finish tenth, beaten 126 metres.
But he doesn’t overrace

If we position the cart further back, he rubs his hips raw on the shafts. Shaft extensions make this worse because they position the narrow section of the shafts on his hips. even tiny little Fanci A Dance has that problem
TTM "overraced" going 1.52.9 and still won. He overraced in 1.54something and won. Overracing isnt the problem.
