They just interviewed the trainer of Shelby Sixtysix (Danny Williams) on 'After the Last' on the racing channel ... what a fantastic story!

The show is repeated at 9pm tonight unless you've caught hold of it already

The horse is now going to run in the TJ Smith! 

By the way, I recouped very well at Sha Tin yesterday (thanks to Moreira & Purton) ... I pulled the right reigns!

I saw him interviewed straight after the race. They asked then what they would do with the horse.

TJ Smith eh. Well that’s one race I don’t have to think about who I’m betting on 🤣

The Astologist is also entered in the $1Million William Reid St on Friday night ... and has drawn nicely in the No.1 barrier (and is an on-pacer on a tight-turning track - ideal)

Although, Marabi is a big big chance to win the Reid St so everything else is possibly running for 2nd!

Morphetville Race 5 No.1 Max Fire

At this stage The Astrologist is still in tonight's field (William Reid St.) so I'd say it's out of tomorrow's Hareeba St.

But no rush on another pick Gorg as it hasn't been scratched yet

Happy to wait until tomorrow for the final pick

I’ll have a look at maybe have a backup ready.

@Macca. @Dee Zephyr

change mine from Astrologist to La Mexicana, same race. W.

20 mins out I doubt Astrologist is being scratched now.

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

So I had two black bookers in that race, Astrologist and September run… guess which one I backed… 😩

Hindsight tells us that The Astrologist should have been held over to tomorrow!

Marabi end of prep?  Certainly got run over by nearly every runner

September Run back to her best though - ran really well in the Newmarket ... that was the pointer.

I had SR included in a trifecta but didn't really get close.  Big dividends in the exotics ... even the quinella paid 450!

Yeah I had Ast, SRand Marabi in the Tri. Marabi got blitzed. Astrologist seemed t9 have no idea what to do or where to go as it hit the corner. SR hit it perfectly. 

The. F4 paid over 128k

[Macca 16,972]

Was on Daisies in the last ... overs?

Handy collect and got a 3 leg place multi up as well ... in front going into tomorrow!

Handy dividend with all 3 winning - 190-1!

Don't rule out the place multi either ... about 9-1

But all 3 can win if they all bring their best.  Fingers crossed!

Good luck punters!

Nice get on Daises!

Rosehill abandoned

I wonder when they will race these Group races?  Maybe at another track in the next few days?

Yeah maybe Newcastle? Or just somewhere it’s not raining all the bloody time

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

Harleymovin had a massive jet of acceleration then. That was impressive.

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

Massive delays to race 7 with Signoore fox, La Mexicana has had the saddle removed as it’s sweating up big time. Not ideal. 

[Macca 16,972]

La Mex late scratching!

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

[censored] me. Late scratch 

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

So all my multis, running double, trifecta all cooked. What happened to it?

Sweated up and then played up at the barriers ... vets decided to scratch the horse

Why wasnot signoire fox scratched, they walked the bloody thing up half the track making it a late jump. That was baffling.

7 races from the Rosehill card today to be run at Newcastle on Monday

Damian Lane rides the winner of the UAE Derby (Crown Pride) ... another top Japanese stayer

Previously Damian Lane has ridden some big winners in Japan so he's been sought out again

The horse might be now running in the Kentucky Derby so Damian could be engaged to ride the horse in that time-honoured classic

That would be great to see.
