A Day at the Races

Thinking about it all, the transgression seems out of character for Jamie Kah

Quietly spoken, level headed, grounded and a real sensible type

Then again, they probably just got on the drink and we all know where that can lead!

Nah, I wouldn’t know anything about that…

Ha ha!

Ended up taking a wide exacta in the Memsie Stakes ... could pay ok with the right combo

Good luck to all today!

Deep speed buried its speed deep… really deep.

The With 12 horses I wouldn’t be surprised to see 6-7 cross witching a head of each other, but if all ran their best race I reckon behemoth wins.

Yep, the big boy is a star of the turf.  Behemoth too good and Prebble rode it like it was the best horse in the race. 

Prebble picks ip $30k with a sling ... Jamie looks on forlornly!! That's racing!

Beau was very brave with Tofane 3rd in a truly run race.  The first 3 - all class

Beau did me proud. Love Behemoth but I think I love Beau more. Linda rode well, had to come so wide. 
I have been having a mare but I had some on Behemoth and I put Aegon in my f4 when Sierra Sue went out. 41% of that make the day a nice one.

Excellent result Gorg

I got the exacta twice and a big percentage of the trifecta ... needed Inspirational Girl to get into the finish for a bigger pay day

Beau got the 1400m alright and hit the line like a good horse.  So 1200m up to 1400m.  The mile might be a tad too far but I wouldn't rule that distance out

Good to hear.

tbh I thought 1400 was stretching it, I’d like to see a few more at 1400 and see how Beau goes.

Mark Zahra out for the Spring as well now as he attended the same get-together (it's been discovered)

Latest story is that all 5 jockeys might get an extra month for not being honest about it all. 

The Stewards have a history of being heavy handed for these types of things so why would anyone take them on?  Strange goings-on

Oh wow…. This cou”d be massive. 
im tipping the rise of a Linda Meech this spring.

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

yup, facing the VRT

With a boost about 30-1 can be had for the double

I like 'Elephant' in the Feehan St but it's a wide open race.  Streets can get into the finish as it is drawn the inside and likes to lead.  25-1? 

And at the Valley that can be a really advantage.  'Elephant' has drawn a great gate (1) as it too likes to lead

My value runner is Sovereign Award at 25-1 as well

Exotics could pay very well

I too like Elephant. And with some Rain coming I think it’s in very good position.

Portland Sky and September Run resume against each other. Both short odds. I miss the $8+ I was getting on Portland Sky. It was easy money 🤣

Mates horse Facemask runs here in Race two. Was originally going to Adelaide (second fav) but with the rain coming here trainer said run it at MV. He thinks it’s a very good chance. At $10 at the min. 
Only second run under the new trainer but it ran its best race last win.  Big field and I’ll be following it closely

[Macca 16,972]

Good start to the day ... 'Forgot You' flies home to win.  Soft7 at the Valley but strong headwind in the straight

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

Super effort runs second. Didn’t get the run early enough and by the time

it got out it was too late.

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

Degraves salutes by a small margin. Was ridden well, thought he was in a bad spot and couldn’t get out, great ride by Miss Kelly

[Macca 16,972]

Sierra Sue dreadfully unlucky in the Feehan St.  I didn't have it included in my multiples but I reckon if it gets through it goes close

Superstorm wins and now gets a run in the Cox Plate but McAvaney reckons it's more suited to the mile

Underwood Stakes (1800m) on GF day is next up for Superstorm according to the trainer.  'Elephant' ran well and looks a group horse of the future

Up in Sydney 'Nature Strip' & Zaaki did as they pleased to both win impressively.  The Everest & Cox Plate long term targets ... both installed as favourites

I had Sierra Sue with Elephant, Superstorm and Nonconformist as my f4.

Nature and Zaaki trotted past them like it was nothing. 
 

Don’t doubt Dory also ran a good race yesterday and Geist impressed me.

Replays going back a couple of weeks (as well as the 4 features from Saturday)

Apart from the open betting race that the  Makybe Diva Stakes is,  there are some real shorties running around @ HQ on Saturday

But they might all win ... Ingratiating, Artorius & Ayrton are all odds-on in their respective races!
