Racehorse TALK

I've been banging my head against the wall for 2 years asking why. I was told by people in charge that is is the director's job and they have no say. I would love to see what you guys saw.

Someone should tell that director, and those of the commercial networks in Australia, that a viewer must be able to see, at all times particularly over the last 800ms, the position of the horse they are following relative to the horse leading the race.

Specialweek - Injapan5, what can you guys tell me about the potential quality of Altissimus, Deep Sound, Ingrid, Prince Detoile, Silent Sonic and Sunday Bess ? 

Why the interest?

Can't find Prince Detoile or Sunday Bess, but the rest are all winning 2yos by Deep Impact, so I'm guessing the other two are as well.

It's hard to say how good they are until they get into group races later in the year - and next year, but both Deep Impact and Heart's Cry have made great starts to their respective careers 

 

The Mile Championship is the feature today. Always a tough race to nail a tri but I do like the fave here.
Australia will be taking 4 races, 8,9,11,12.  The main race R11, I am also suggesting two groups of numbers as a betting option.

R8    9,1,3,7
R9    8,9,3,7
R11  8,5,16,2,11   and  3,5,8,10,16  The fave is the 8 but he does race greenly in the straight. Soumillon maybe able to handle him.
R12  9,10,4,8,16

How impressive was Boreas today ?

Did Snitzel stand at stud in Japan ?

From Arrowfield:


Notable firsts achieved by the stud in recent years include the first Australian stallions to shuttle to Japan (Snitzel, 2007); and the United States (All American, shuttling to Darby Dan Farm, Kentucky in 2011).

I wonder how a horse like So You Think would have gone in a Japan Cup - with a chance of fast pace.

Very well I would have thought. If bart still trained him that would never have happened.
8 visitors this year and at least 11 foreign jockeys in the 18 horse field.
I can't see the visitors finishing in the top 5.
Buena Vista will win.

The fact he was unlikely to travel - was part of reason I could cop the sale.

Japan Cup Sunday with 8 foreign runners and 13 foreign jockeys riding in the 18 horse field.

Australia taking 4 races.

FWIW

     
8        11,15,14,16
9        17,9,13,14
10      16,7,14,10
11       4,5,12,7

Dandino is currently 25/1 on NSWTAB fixed odds, I think he is a big chance.
