  • And another winner for Dan in the last today at Albany to round out a successfull weekend for him. Great work Staekey and may there be plenty more winners in 2017 and beyond for you too =D>
  • Yeah, Mitch off S.B to ride the 7 which is interesting. I don't know anything about the form lines, but I do know that Cosmah Domination is a last start winner from the Boxing Day Meeting so winning form is good form from that point of view. But…
  • I was afraid Majinika would get too far back 1st up. Def black booker Make sure you get the right horse. Majinika is trained by Durrant and won a trial on Tuesday. I think you backed Martinka today  ;) Good call, I've been calling it the wrong …
  • After looking at the trials from Lark Hill Tuesday 3-1 one word Deballatio That was an impressive trial for sure. He missed the start by 2-3 lengths but quickly found his feet and really dropped a gear when Staekey gave him an inch of rein in the…
  • I was just having a look at the results from some of the Lark Hill trials that were run on Tuesday and the winner of trial number 2 over 400m's was Seeking Alpha from the Simon A Miller stable. This Fillies breeding looks impeccable (at least on p…
  • *Not so much ad libbing, but more along the lines of wiggle room. You know what I mean ;)
  • Hopefully, there will be plenty of 'ad libbing' room for the stewards to make any adjustments that may need to be put in place so common sense can prevail Rio.
  • As I mentioned on another thread, Dream Lifter has a first up record that speaks for itself. I don't blame you for tipping him Scotty, as you can certainly make a VERY good case for him with the barrier, in form jockey who knows him like the back of…
  • Just for comparison's sake, Sydney, Melbourne and South Australia  are paying to 10th on Saturdays. And Sydney and Melbourne have been for a few years So does this mean that RWWA are simply throwing their hat into the ring just because other St…
  • I had one of my biggest ever bets when Dream Lifter debuted in an Albany maiden. I still can't believe he paid $3.30 when bolting in that day. The horse that ran 2nd that day has gone on to win over $250K (Corporate Larrikin). Yes, the horse that ra…
  • I don't get the 'excitement'. It's a stupid way of regularly throwing away races and it destroys the quality of the finish as it tends to set up the race for the cheap suck along of getting towed up to the lead. Might as well be team orders in a Cy…
  • And it was ideal for D Mac that it was the Frenchman who made the big move because he was able to bring even more entertainment to the call. "The Frenchman says 'au revoir', catch me if you can" :-h
  • It is indeed Torp, and as you would expect, Mitchell P is quietly confident of a forward showing first up, despite the small query that he may get run off his feet over 1000m's. Dream Lifter's first up record speaks for itself and he has drawn to ge…

  • The most difficult job ( if he gets right away ) is that very first horse to cart the field up to him...in the Cox it was Ithsahymn , not a place where you really want to be..but somebody's got to do it. They'll all be hoping that F.O.G is beginn…
  • The Fathom is indeed an interesting runner Rider. If common sense prevails then surely they will not be allowing Mr Autier to once again string the field out like sausages like he did in the T.V.H Stakes. Surely someone (but it's a bit of a mystery…
  • Thought Smith would stay on SE,or is Neverland about to awaken And another interesting thing about this, is that Glenn is yet to ride Neverland in a race and Jarrad is yet to ride Star Exhibit in a race, yet both Jockeys have ridden the other Hor…
  • You're welcome, not a problem at all Glamour.
  • The Draft race times for N.Y.E are suggesting that the first race will be on at 12.29pm and the last at 5.45pm. So sometime between 4-5pm I am guessing. These times are of course subject to change.
  • 8.40am + 3 days + 21 hours x this + that - a bit more of that = :-/
  • I am not 100% sure which Horse you are referring too in terms of putting consistent performances together Chelsea. If it is Respondent, then I do agree that he can be one of those box of chocolate like kind of Horses, but if it is Star Exhibit, then…
  • I am heading along to the Esperance races this afternoon. I haven't been to the track in quite sometime, but the Sun is shining and I am looking forward to getting along and catching up with a few friends at one of the best Country Racing Tracks in …
  • Happy Christmas everyone. I haven't contributed to this forum for quite sometime, so could say I have had a nice lengthy spell and I am posting first up without a trial. I am very much looking forward to Perth Cup Day and the support races too. I am…
  • I agree that it's a shame about the 2 scratchings Gary, but I do give credit where it is due for the way that the trainer is still looking on the bright side of the situation in that there are at least 2 more suitable races coming up for both horses…
  • I had a listen to the replay of the interview Dungy, and it was fascinating to hear how Ken would keep up to date with the players and their statistics. "I'll put a '.' next to his name for this, an 'x' next to his name for that, I underline his n…
  • LLS, what a great first race.....not looked at the rest but BENITO for me in the first.. Cool Trade a special  after Carbery put the knife through it last start and burnt the punters Cool Trade will certainly be hard to beat Dungy, but I do have…
  • sorry raff, I thought it was lucciola...apologies...... :\"> Not a problem at all Falc :-bd
  • I'm not sure we're talking about the same horse Falc. I was referring to Miss Rose Delago in the Jungle Dawn ;)
  • She will need to bring her 'A' game on Saturday Shovhog. The jockey & barrier are both spot on, but carrying 59 kilos (whilst giving away 4 kilos to the rest of the field), will certainly be a challenge for her to overcome.
  • I am going to say Balmont Girl for 1 simple reason. A lot of horses on that list have proven themselves at either sprint or middle race distances, but B.G has won races ranging from 1100 to 2400m's which underlines how versatile she really is. You…
