A vast improvement from its previous run at Belmont.
-
Probably not relevant but perhaps it is also a sign of Bob's drop off locally. In the past, he has always had one or two promising types heading into the mix, especially targeting the Kingston Town / Northerly. As Gilga may have implied, there are p…

Had something on Armed and Ready first up and thought it ran very well. Similar ride today but just doesn't seem to go early. .

I'll put my hand up as I am firmly in the camp of a once a year punter. We get together each year as a group and book into the Beau Rivage for the Pacing Cup. There were 17 of us this time around. Had a great night. I thought the theme worked well…

Unlucky Thunder. No doubt you followed up! Boab Boy was a tough watch too.
-
Needs a bit of luck. Midnight Blue was a good effort and Inspirational Girl was honest with the on pacers not folding up.
-
Couldn't agree more Slip. Disgraceful
-
It was very unlucky 1st up. Same jockey and 2nd up record is a cracker so what's not to like?
-
Shaun earnt his riding fee in the first. Horse might have more attitude than ability.
-
Followed Voodoo and Thunder (F K) - well done lads.
-
No argument from me Det. Don't know its racing pattern but was a shocker.
-
Well, time for me to tip myself out to the paddock for a considerable amount of time. Ultimate was woeful. Never thought Puli would lead but Holly wasn't interested. Big effort to hang on.
-
I just never had Arno in my novs. Fashion Queen very disappointing. Thought he gave it every chance, albeit think the inside rail is not the place to be deep into the straight.
-
My question was answered. Rolled the dice and got unlucky. Even I could have told her the chances of getting a sit were buckleys!
-
Presume they said somewhere they were going forward with Rulelee with a good speed already predicted. Simply baffled- want to say Puzzled but winner too good.
-
R2 Looks to be great speed. Mr Mt Walker should get the gun run but have settled on Rulelee. This will probably hurt as wasn't on last start. Just looks like the one that can swoop late. R5 Keen on Fashion Queen . Back at first two runs and was giv…

I've known more people (including me) to get it in the last month than compared to the whole time previously. I think this just shows how effective we were at keeping it at bay for so long. There are many mandates we have no control over but they ar…

His strike rate in Japan has always been impressive. The top 2 are simply outstanding. Kawada win ratio = 0.268, Lemaire = 0.216 and Damien's is 0.18. Not too shabby at all, even taking into considering that they are almost invariably riding one of…

Well done for sticking Slip with Kaptain. I never. They are simply too hard for me. Be interesting if they go for a change of jockey on Fashion Queen next start.
-
Hi Thunder. No, left Double Digit alone. My ew bet for the day was Athlone Castle. The trainer has this one going really well. Been busy and only just caught replay. Another terrific effort. New the start was always going to be a bit a risky but was…
-
Thought Le Villi and Smirk were very good Saturday. Given even luck, be surprised if Gypsy Goddess doesn't go close though.
-
R6 was laughable. To make matters worse, I got sucked into a few today that are simply not up to Sat class such as Baby Blues, Double Digit, and Requisition. I thought Fashion Queen would go okay but simply had no chance the way the race was run. …
-
Yes. 49 rides ago. Might struggle to get back on it as Jett rated it perfectly yesterday.
-
Rode it exactly the same way the previous start.. Barriers haven't helped. 1 win from 93 city rides this season.
-
What a great training effort to keep this horse going. It’s taken me a long time but I am now convinced, there is no value putting on an apprentice for a backmarker.. nothing cryptic about it..
-
Maybe. Na - watched again and inside horse always had it covered.
-
That was an average effort Mettalon.
-
Well, they ran it pretty truly. Neither jock was prepared to take a sit on the two obvious leaders.
-
Well done you two. Certainly get viewing value for your investments!
-
I was on Levante. Would have been interesting if it had of raced with the others.
