Will he be ok to ride Winx?

Well if there is any vertebrae damage or any broken bones or fractures,  you wouldn't think so Wadda.   Collarbone,  the AC joint or the ribs would have all been impacted.

We forget sometimes how much of an extreme sport it is for the jockeys ... the horses too of course.  My initial thoughts were that the horse wasn't impressed with the persuader and reacted accordingly.  Could be wrong of course.

    Is there any footage anywhere? They scratched Winx last time he couldnt ride.

    See D77's post above

    They are now saying Hugh has concussion issues and has possibly lost a few teeth.  No other reports of any other injuries (as yet)

    It must be a real shock coming off a horse at that speed ... with no pre-warning of course.  The horse just went sideways (left) in a flash.  It wasn't squeezed for room or anything like that.  It had clear ground.

    I didn’t know where to look, Merchant was coming, then all of a sudden Brave Smash shows a scintillating turn of foot and looks the winner but the Warrior does it again. Stiff fellas.

    Mixed reactions there ... took a special horse to defeat our pick but I wasn't going to make Redkirk my best bet anyway.  Mind you,  I did get the trifecta which payed very well considering the first 3 were my 3 picks to win.

    Anyway,  we've still got 3 picks going (or at least I have)

    Good work Macca, you might have to post one   “Macca Tri Special” a week for us. That along with the “Wadda Quaddie”.

    Mixed reactions alright, it was a terrific race in the end.

    Still alive here with the system 3. 

    Edit: I’ve also taken our Best bets in a place multi only just for a saver. I thought the place value for all was decent. Like you said, it’s about finding ways to make a profit.

    Some of the comments from the losing jockeys were priceless. Jockey of So Si Bon when asked after the race “ Na no good, horse needs to be gelded”. ?

    Edit: Craig Williams looked devastated to lose that race in his comments. A lot of praise for the horse but you could see he was gutted. I am a big fan of Craig Williams and his professionalism.

    This is where the best bets can help D77 ... without Wadda nominating Merchant Navy as his best bet,  I probably don't get that trifecta.  I knew Wadda liked the horse before he nominated the horse so I included the horse as a winner in my trifecta. 

    Same goes for Shillelagh in the next race ... both binman & yourself especially like the horse's chances so I have therefore included it in another trifecta.

    It was interesting to hear the jockey of Merchant Navy post race state that the horse lost sight of Redkirk Warrior and switched off a bit late in the race because the horses split to two sides.

    Hi all, might be my first visit ever to this thread...so I am happy for this to be taken with as much skepticism as can be expected with an anonymous tip on the interwebs.

    Welcome KK. Yes its certainly in there with a big chance.    

    I must say Ace High looked amazing in the mounting yard. Good barrier could be a chance here.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
