I found it funny too until they showed me the markets. Dress of Queen, Kate, number of grooms, hat types, even if Harry will shave etc.

Research is impeccable as the Queen rarely wears same colours in a year to functions etc. Harry has not shaved for awhile including functions and events so it was a good gamble to them.

I learnt a lot.

The difference is they only do it once awhile while we do it every week.

I don’t want to think of the time we spend watching races and sport live or on tv.

Most betting corps are betting on the royal baby including gender, day of the week and name etc.

A girl baby is $1.74 and a boy is around $2.

Verry Ellegant should win everything she runs in. She should provide at least 8 group 1 wins.

Anything less is a failure on Wallers part. ( injuries aside )

Enable is doing pretty well.

I am talking Australian Oaks races.

But that is an interesting comparison between Australia and o/s Oaks.

The nonsense about so called "Integrity " in NSW continues. Just watched the videos of Today's Newcastle races. The glaring thing about Race 6 was that a horse called Frascati Miss who has shown all the speed of a steeplechaser in 1900 metre races at Canterbury is up contesting the lead in a mile race at Newcastle. Naturally it was favourite and the shock of all shocks was it got towelled up by a  stable mate. And what did the mighty racing police of NSW do ? Nothing much of course. Ask the jockey why ? The jockey is one of the best in the land , but he was incapable of holding this ferocious beast. It is happening all the time with this mob. Maybe I am naturally cynical , but when the powers that be crap on about Integrity it would do them well to remember that two out of the three Eastern States no longer have their leading trainers from last year still in operation . Do they seriously think that it all ended with those two. I think not.

The rules should be 'two starters' or all bracketed.

Butter does melt rapidly in the mouths of those playing the market -- it is one of the chinks in the claimed armour of integrity in the racing industry.

Any genuine commitment to integrity would deal with the clear deception of 'smoking one in' being the clear right of  'connections'.

... try that on the stock market and 'do not pass go'

When they are put together like that it shows he has a nice crop.

Not sure regarding TJ but I like the info. Very open in some ways and is better than none.

I would be intrigued to find out if his WA gallopers have a set target after Everest.

I heard the Golden series might be an option due to the money and prestige. There r no real races to tackle WFA over 1400m to 1600m after the Everest in both southern states as it is usually handicap miles and only the 2000m wfa races.

I stand to be corrected though.
