Racehorse TALK

Looking forward to the return of The Astronomer, should be thereabouts in the 3yo staying events this autumn.

hope the judge is a better judge than da judge

lmfao,he may well be,but you my son,are distanced 

very interesting race, hope i can get a bit of value for youthful jack here, been waiting a while to se him in this kind of grade and think he will definately measure up. Duporth,Deseutude behing him.

agree with that - really think deseutude will make his price - seems really popular with punters - but think youthful jack will have his measure - ew to nothing

Can't back this up with stats but I'm certain Anthony Cummings gallopers perform best in the first 2 or 3 runs back then taper off when the big races are being run.

Desuetude should prove hardest to hold out you'd imagine.

I was interested in the field from an autumn point of view and the Doncaster with the recent success of 3yos.  Quite a few of the noms here also feature in the Doncaster.

Horses like Duport, Desuetude and Youthful Jack and the like the obvious ones. But trying to work out which path they're on is tough.

One horse that hasn't really got a lot of attention is Baci Amore, barring his Caulfield Guineas failure his spring was a good one running good races in the Golden Rose and Spring Stakes - and second in the TJ Smith [Qld] as a 2yo.

Fitted up with a couple of trials and a nice barrier he's capable of an upset [least a first four finish] at odds. And looking ahead at 150/1 for the Doncaster has got my attention.

trial was good from baci and am having a good place bet on him if at the right price

form early last prep was great and just seems to be forgotten- think can perform at 1200 fresh- but YJ the one for me

nice call meat and seal. I was a big fan of YJ up in brisbane, but I really didnt think he would match up to the top sydney form. He is clearly a very good one.
