Fantastic to see the Parnhams and one of my fav horses Bustler win and with Stevie steering bloody well done to all..great day for the stable. Trix Of The Trade was deadset STIFF imo he should have run 2nd.
-
Better track overall, longer straight etc means Belmont is better racing track.The facilities etc fit the "in" Crowd at Ascot..the track is not as fair to all runners when their both in good nick. I reckon its hard to be that interested in here wh…

Soulcombe missed it again but also ran 3250 meters the extra 50 was all in the straight too. If Moreira sticks to the fence, I think it wins. Was a massive run. Was on e.w all day, saved my arse at 3.75 fixed the drum. Ashrun a great run PC. All…

Magical Lagoon can be big improver I reckon you suggested about 10 and didn't get close :P

Visitors were .... Shite as expected :P

Not bad the sweeps albeit i haven't been involved in one since Moses was a boy now that I think about. Will suss If one of these pubs we're attending in Gero have some going, if so may get involved. Gold Trip on the drift and I think Soulcombe may …

Going for a spell I'd say.

Great day and crowd. Less sure on Eddie McGuire heading up a horse racing coverage but it was ok I suppose. Last year 10 have the rights I believe.

Big run Sunsets and a predictable trifecta. Hayes Inc must really dislike Jmac :))

"Back Ollie and get off your trolley" :P

D Oliver ON FIRE \:D/

Onya GOAT, fill your boots up on this farewell tour champ. Farcical race speed really, United Nations wasn't good enough but should have lead ffs..I don't like the jock tbh and won't be backing him again.
-
Athabascan won't run either so United Nations is now 25th..one more dropout and he is in regardless of the Archer result.
-
In the Coolomore i'm looking at backing Shinzo and I'll probably have a spec on Veight back to 1200, i reckon 12-1400 is his wheelhouse so he might stalk and finish off strong..could be the race J Kah bounces back to the top. Should mention I'm Unst…
-
Still a bit of boom in the price I agree Falc.$4 the last time I looked. Not a super strong field, ones like Kovalica probably aren't suited at 1500 and Rosehill. Hawaii 5.0 will be far more forward back up in trip and that's what Lane must do with…
-
Fair enough, i subsequently saw her replay a bit earlier while watching one of the many shows..last 100 and past the line was good. I should mention I'll be having something on Lempicka my quaddie hero from CC Day in R3. Form isn't awful down the s…

Nice work Jum and best of luck. I blackbooked Speak after the last run, definite knockout chance in the Archer. One quick ? I know he is half the price but you don't like Triple Missile R4? Star Patrol form is pretty appealing. Inside gate is the o…

Have to wait and see how the Pom rides it on Saturday, possibly going to need a minor miracle to get it home. How many rides has he had here, doesn't spring to mind as having had much success or even a lot of rides but I could be wrong haha.
-
Got bumped for the pommy jock Falc Idk about the rule in the MC apprentices can't ride? Zac Lloyd has a ride as far as I know, has outridden his claim but still an apprentice I think.
-
Yeh hope so, I think they might put Carleen Hefel back on if successful as she rode it just fine in the Caulfield Cup.
-
Billy Egan will pilot Vow And Declare whose 4th tilt in the cup has been signed off. The old boy is going pretty well I'll probably have something on for nostalgia but he also isn't hopeless with 53 kgs.
-
Updated Cup Order of Entry following Interpretation's Bendigo Cup win - moves to 24th. Also Interpretation has not recoeved a weight penalty for the Melbourne Cup....will carry 50kg. The winner of Race 2 at Flemington, G3 Archer Stakes (Hotham) at …
-
Yep it seems there has been something occur after the original "jokes" etc around him jumping off. Can't think of any other reason he wouldn't be riding Brave Mead amongst others, unless a deal has been struck because Spencer was coming back down an…
-
Should mention Sydney too i suppose. Shout out to Amelia's Jewel running in the Golden Eagle hopefully she wins it for WA Also Think About It the winning beast suits up again, i love watching him race and I havent seen him lose its an amazing rise …
-
Still giving Soulcombe a big chance, surely won't miss the kick as bad and I read the blinkers are coming off also so their trying to get him a bit better re gate manners. Lane could indeed do well with Breakup whom is yet to nab a Melbourne cup ou…
-
I'll throw one out too Voodoo and its in the following race so maybe a massive running e.w all up is in the cards(their both drifting so it would be big)? Juan Won One is him name(won't lie I like it a lot), so have a listen to Dmac calling when i…
-
Not necessarily Thunder. As Falcon highlights there are numerous lightweights. Any more and it could have been a very much glorified Apprentices' Cup :D O'Brien ensured his entries maintained light weights Mulins pair look well treated especially…
-
Drew a good gate at last, 5. As did a couple of her main dangers like Hawaii Five Oh, Legarto.Dont know anything about the Japanese galloper but it probably warrants respect. Kovalica drew 16, Attrition 19 and he is now $21.

Looks like United Nations is just going to miss out PC.Unless a few late ones don't turn up or he wins the Archer on Sat.
