Racehorse TALK

Geoff, don't try and work it out as there is no logic to the way I punt. I'm a self labelled "worst punter ever"

Authorized, i'm a harsh marker, when 16/1 and 50/1 chances beat you home in a field of 10 and you finish midfield, THAT'S a flop in my book

What sectionals has Irian run home in ?

I know they went slow early  - but coming home in under 22 secs when the sprint or mile field couldn't come home in under 23secs is Super Impressive

There was a comment earlier on about Good Ba Ba possibly commencing a new career in Macau.

And a response along the lines of "We'll say no more about that."

What was that all about?

Was it because they believe he deserves better?

Or was it something else?

Been very good servant to his owner JWH, thoughts being he now deserves a decent paddock.

The horse is far more highly regarded than his owner.

Just reading RacingBitch will be interesting to see accuracy of possible jockey changes.

Jeff Lloyd is reported to be coming back to Aust.

Greg Cheyne contract ending by choice.

RB musing that Darren Beadman is on the outer with John Moore - mentions wish list replacements - Damien Oliver/Craig Williams etc

Stewards Cup the highlight today, should be cracking race.

Ambitious Dragon
California Memory
Mighty High

BTW nicely picked Matt.

Keep watching - Dan Excel.
