    So it is the Western Australia Pacing Cup ?

    Counting the Emergencies 12 of the 14 are ex New Zealand Pacers 

    And it is a very ordinary field - Magnificent Storm would it be in the best 20 pacers in Aust - debateable and doubtful

    2 runs at Albion Park in Qld  in the semi big league - the sprint race it was dissappointing 

    The 2nd run - the big Cup race or whatever over the staying trip - the race where Grimson and Butt traded punches in the bar afterwards 

    Aiden De Campo gave it an absolute brilliant drive - id rate  it 100 out of 100 - wide gate - i think it ended up 4 back the pegs - at the 400 metres horses dropped off in the running line - DeCampo got off the pegs - he couldnt have given it a softer easier run - perfect for a sit sprinter - i reckon right at that point Ray Williams would have got highly excited - but the horse was pathetic in its finishing run 

    This is a very ordinary/ average quality WA Pacing Cup - and thus gate 1 will probably  dictate who wins it

    8 of the 10 in the main race at Albion Park from NZ. Not only in WA.

    Loyalist very lucky to get a start.

    I think in the majority of the major races in Australia your going to find a huge contingent of NZ next to horses names, not just a WA thing but I'm not shocked that you'd come on here to make it seem so

    How many pacing cups has senior won? He races them week after week into the cups and window them,my personal opinion is magnificent storm doesn’t get the race hardening to win these cups as always seems to have a week off between starts,I would like to see him race weekly to get that match hardness,now I’ve said that will probably draw one and win.

    I would be happy if he just held the lead and makes a race of it.
    His last run wasn’t that far off when you look at it.
    Not a bad roughie from 1.

    Loyalist will want to hold the lead he has an aggressive driver. The only horse he may hand up to would be magnificent storm.
    I’m liking prince of pleasure for the place from that soft draw

    Interestingly 21 of the 23 Melbourne Cup Runners were bred overseas.

    I’m not on twitter or whatever they call it so I’m not sure what’s being said there but I am curious as to how others see the first 400 mtrs playing out.
    Based on history the 1 holds up then takes a sit . If that’s the case I cannot see 2&3 allowing Mag Storm to cross to the lead (which will open it up to the back markers).
    Diego therefore would eventually cross to the lead but in my opinion it will make 1,2,3 &4 chances of winning very hard.
    Is that how others see the start just wondering ??

    JJM wouldn’t sit if he leads he’ll be awfully hard to beat

    I dont whats happened to the mobile in the home straight but it used to favour the outside horses.

    Now alot of barrier 1 seem to be getting crossed but miracously kick through to lead.

    So you would think 1 could hold if he wanted to.

    And you wouldnt come all the way from NSW to be held up and miss a place.

    He did hand up at Albion Park and Redcliffe where there is a sprint lane.

    I see itnone of two ways, Magnificent Storm getd over really quick and wins with the $3 looking Magnificent or its set up for a horse doing nothing with one crack at them like Steel The Show, I thought he should be around $7 so ive had a little on him at the $19 covering the bet at the $4 a place.

    Other bets.

    R3 No5 The Code Breaker. I thought he could cross, even in the breeze the $12 looks sensational.

    R4 No2 The Mustang has finally found a race he can lead and win again.

    R8 No3 Beejays Boy has been in sneaky good form, got 2 inside him he can get past and still at EW odds. Taking some novelties with him and Gee Smith in top with 1,5,6,7 around the place.

    I think the early quad could be a nice div if you can find it.

    Good luck all.

    Mag Storm for the cup, reckon A Dec has been waking him up a bit at the start where possible last few therefore should cross, lead and just hang on.
    4,1,11,7/10.

    I love the confidence that some connections talk with as opposed to saying "we hope to be in front to the first bend then see what happens" its "wr will be in front to the first bend then assess our options" you weren't even in front after 5 strides!

    Don’t have a foot in Either camp but if my horse got knocked over like that in a pacing cup they would want security in the birdcage.

    6 week suspension for de campo.
    Should have been double that.
    Reminds me of Greg hall in the golden slipper when he knocked down a couple of horses on the home corner and got a $50k fine. Paid for by Lloyd Williams so virtually no punishment at all.
    If they still had the old relegation rule it would stamp out foul driving in big races.

    Surely there are more angles than the camera in the front straight?

    Anything down the back straight? Really needs to be a head on

    14 minutes of protest video on Twitter that also showed head on in back straight.

    Inquiry got very fiery between Ray Williams and Senior.

    What goes around comes around.
    Senior complaining about interference in races.
    He used to wax with Kevin Keys between suspensions.

    Anyhow let’s not forget what a run that was by Mag Storm ended up winning with a leg in the air and no pulling up towards the line.
    I don’t know what they have changed with this horse but that early burn would have seen him finish midfield last year.
    Someone said in the media this week that they think he’s not a true stayer and I reckon they were correct until last night.
    One of the toughest most impressive cup-wins I’ve seen for a long time.
