Racing In The West

[puntersteve]

Hi Guys, just back from a spell. Was at the meet. Great day. Crowd well above average. HUGE run the MightyM & still lots of room for improvement.

Any other good runs / horses to follow?

[westi]

Yep, have some feedback steve but have to duck off quickly now. I'll get back to you a bit later.

[watsonnek]

Sandgroper Seafarer make his eastern states debut for David Hayes today at Sandown. Good first-up record & a winner in both slow & good. Should do ok.

[Chiquita]

thanks for that watsonnek. would have missed it completely. wasn't giving melbourne a glance.

[westi]

Trainer Greg Eurell has confirmed that the Railway Stakes is definitely on Apache Cats program.

[Chiquita]

Interesting! A clash with Marasco on home turf could be on the cards.

ok run but he needs to improve race manners.
When hit with the whip, he went backwards.
Jock then resorted to hands and heels and came back to run 4th.

[suds]

Congrats sandgropers. WA’s Miss Andretti has been rated the world’s best sprint mare.

[watsonnek]

Well she is, isn't she :)

[westi]

Banner Storm looks interesting Westman after last week??

Though I'm waiting for Chilli Mussels!!

Wait no more partypooper. This Wed. Dropping back to the mile ;)

[westman]

Congrats sandgropers. WA’s Miss Andretti has been rated the world’s best sprint mare.

Yeah, the Fighting Tigress received a rating of 120 putting her in the same class as the males, El Segundo, Takeover Target and Pompeii Ruler (all 120).

[Chiquita]

Fred Kersley dropped a bombshell yesterday when he revealed that Marasco was no certainty to run in the Cox Plate. Marasco could be switched to the Australian Mile Challenge.

The Challenge offers a $1 million bonus to the connections of the horse who can win the $1 million Emirates Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on November 10, $1 million Carlton Draught Railway Stakes (1600m) at Ascot on November 24 and $700,000 Futurity Stakes (1600m) at Caulfield on March 1.

[westi]

Initial reaction, very surprised. But when you think about it, the type of horse to pull it off!

What's going on with Perth racing. 3 horse race yesterday (R1) 9 races Sat most small fields!

[westwinners]

The 9 race card is a result of the last race being canned on Wednesday, due to 'dangerous conditions'.

Yes the small fields are a little concerning. There seems to be plenty of horses resuming from winter spells, yet the numbers are down??

I expect when we finally get back to ascot there will be some monster fields again and we will be complaining about how hard it is to find the winner!

There may also be another culprit; RBH. Perhaps the new handicapping policy has pushed a few more runners out to the provincials and country where they can compete against others with similar ratings??? rather than carry the minimum in town and give away sometimes 20 ratings points...

[westi]

...and no Paul Harvey...has commenced his 19 days suspension

[mugpunter]

easy money in the first at belmont, My time should do it easy in the small field

Great to see Jason Brown tasting success over east (Caulfield) today on the promising sandgroper Scenic Blast. That horse now set for the Caulfield Guineas.

Sure does ;)

[mv2040]

Makes you wonder what Roman Time or Universal Ruler could be doing over east?I suspect Scenic Blast has trained on ENORMOUSLY over the winter, he went 57.49 first up under a hold the WHOLE way, and i dont mean under a hold going past the post i mean literally under a hold pretty much the entire straight!!!

[westman]

Nice return Jestatune today. Patiently ridden by Pike to just get up on the line.

[whiterhino]

Marasco! No longer a bridesmaid!

[westman]

Strong win! Good ride Beadman!

One horse would have turned a break even day into a great winner (backed at top fluc), any one know what happened there I missed the race and don't seem to be able to get the replay from NSW tab?

Are we talking Kal Cup, party?

Layed out under pressure between the 200m & 100m??

[partypooper]

Westman, thanks for that, did actually get the re-play later, a pity as I had Top Fluc (7-1, rated 1.8-1) but it seemed to get beat fair and square, so getting over it!

[westman]

Okay partypooper, yep Diamond Highway was the better horse on the day.

When does WA TAB gets flexi betting?

Will it be for online betting only or at TAB outlets too?

[westman]

Egomaniac (known in Hong Kong as Leading Ahead) is set to return. Won first-up HK at 1600m C2, a great effort considering it can often take months for horses from Oz to acclimatise in HK. Potential start in the HK Derby is on the cards.

The late West Coast Eagles champion Chris Mainwaring will be honoured with a memorial race at Geraldton next Sunday, October 14.

In conjunction with Geraldton Turf Club, Chris’ brother Brett has organised a race to honour the popular champion’s memory.

The race will carry the title of “The Chris Mainwaring Memorial”.

Brett is a former amateur jockey having ridden for many years at Landor, Kojonup and Carnarvon riding numerous winners in the process.

He last rode at Landor in 2003.

The memorial race will be held the day after a planned candle-lit vigil at Greenough Oval Geraldton on Saturday night.

Greenough Oval is the home of Rovers Football Club the first team that Chris played senior football for.

[Chiquita]

West River Charley looked back to his best in winning the Birthday Stakes on Saturday.

Was also impressed with Beat The Storm’s first-up effort. I’ve rated BTS performance as a PB.

[partypooper]

I reckon the connections of BTS had a few quid on WRC,.... definitly should have lost the race. (even though it was a Partypoopers Plum Mover)

[westman]

Yeah, amazed me no protest. As it turns out Staeck outed for 23 days causing interference to Stormed Out same race!

[Chenille Prince]

I reckon the connections of BTS had a few quid on WRC,.... definitly should have lost the race. (even though it was a Partypoopers Plum Mover)

imo BTS had every chance..,,wasn't good enough on the day..,,agree good run in any case

[partypooper]

Chenille Prince, BTS every chance yes, lack of race fitness in the end I think, but if you view the head on it was carried off the track just about, I was certain that there would be a protest. Anyway one to follow there, do you agree?

Just thinking aloud Westman (before the scratchings) just wondered at $1.35 pre-post quote was a bit stiff.

But problem solved with the scratching anyway.

[westman]

Yeah I've heard was scratched failing a vet test but from another source was scratched pending transfer of ownership :confused:

What do reckon partypooper?

[partypooper]

Sorry Westman, just saw that, well, as it happened, Harvey gave me the confidence so I backed it top Fluc for the win and also a decent place bet using my FREE BETS, so smiling all the way! dare I say it???? just need more of the same with Beat The Storm ARRRGGH! what have I done?

[PATfromPERTH]

..... just need more of the same with Beat The Storm ARRRGGH! what have I done?

yeah what DID you do partypooper!! :) Beat The Storm was my main bet that race as well ;)

[partypooper]

Pat from Perth, yeah, sorry mate we shouldn't do it should we? I actually had a decent place bet as well, so it finishes 4th, the only thing is at least it confirms the form as it was 2 kg's better off with WRC for a neck and still runs behind it. I lost a bit on my place bets overall but picked up a couple of good wins so ended up ok. you?

[dockerkev]

Blessed Sue will return home in pursuit of the Group 2 Winterbottom Stakes of the Perth Summer carnival.Do you know what happened to Blessed Sue while it was over East?

[westman]

I’ve heard nothing official. Her 2nd run was pretty good. Maybe different environment, different trainer. Lets hope she can recapture her true form back home in any case.

NORTHAM CUP Race 7 - 5 Mikaldico

[puntersteve]

Do you know what happened to Blessed Sue while it was over East?

Not much so far eh dockerkev, 2 out of 3 runs not up to par, only decent run when ridden from behind, perhaps there's a message there ;)

[dockerkev]

NORTHAM CUP Race 7 - 5 Mikaldico
Was on course and owners and trainer were spewing over the ride by King (finished 2nd). Northam straight is longer than Belmont(which is long) and the horse does not have a long sprint. He was told to ride it cold until the 300-400 metre mark and then let it go. Jock didn't listen and took off at the 600 metre. At the 300 metre was in front but champion jock Paul Harvey on the favourite held his run and over powered Mikaldico in the final 200 metres. If you backed each way still in front but the poor ride killed the win chance.

Anyway back Dark Image at whatever price next start. Was climbing all over them at Ascot on Saturday. Jockey Paul Harvey protested 5th against 3rd and was upheld. Would most certainly have won and done it easily and appears a class horse.

[mv2040]

Sorry meant Dark Target not Dark Image in my previous reply (last paragraph)Absolutely furious after that ride by Harvey, disgusting. This horse has 5 lengths on any 3yo sprinter in work in Perth at the moment and hes worrying about getting a rails run!

Managed to get $1.95 early in the day and the god damn thing was never off the bridle.

Managed to get $1.95 early in the day and the god damn thing was never off the bridle.He left his run far too late and was cocky enough to think that something would open up for him..Certainty beaten but will be unbackable next start.

Yep potentially good horse but can’t agree 5 lengths on any 3yo sprinter in work in Perth at the moment…far from it!

What, no comment from anyone?

[mv2040]

What, no comment from anyone?We wont know until it next races but i have seen all 4 of its runs and other than its first start when it walked in it hasnt ben given a good run yet.

It literally toyed with its oposition 2 starts back when caught 3 wide the trip and won in second gear. Then it was never out of first last start so we havent even begun to see what it can do!

Its only my opinion, but i guess time will tell :)

PS Scenic blast will have Weekend Husslers measure tomorrow.

Its going around on Tuesday and providing it is finally given a good ride you should get a glimpse of what it will be capable of.

I won't need much of a price to be on Dark Image, immpressive.
Saw the comment about Weekend Hussler/Scenic Blast.
Weekend Hussler, I warned on another thread here it is the kind of freak that will strip money by the bucketloads from doubters.
It is the only horse that I would trust the whole bank on in it's present form.
Look out .

Weekend Hussler, I warned on another thread here it is the kind of freak that will strip money by the bucketloads from doubters.

Apologies to writing this on WA racing thread but it is a great thing to learn,
don't look at the event or competition but at what the horse acheives.
Weekend Hussler was incredibly impressive in it's first start at Cranbourne, I prayed "Please don't let this horse start again without me knowing, please"
Matching course records is no easy feet.
Every win so far has been sensational, and it stands out DESPITE the lack of competition.
Lookout Emarites.

My friend ask me this. How do you have a mystery bet on a race nominated by the punter at the TAB?

[westman]

Looks a good line up today, where are our forum experts?
C'mon boys!

My excuse - at Ascot doing it for real - had a great day :D

Good on you.
I'll see you there one day.

My friend thought that all he had to do was mark the TAB Code and Race, and nominate the amount of wins/places, and leave the selection part blank. However, the TAB machine rejected his ticket without marking a horse out.

[diogenes]

Sorry Ade , I was being humerous (or not) I can't answer your question.

[westman]

Westman you cheeky sod.
Good on you.
I'll see you there one day.

Yeah, some great racing just around the corner. Looking forward to it!

[sportzfan]

thought Marasco was off for a spell !?

[mv2040]

Wonder how far off a pre-post market is? There is a certain 3yo in there that will be very hard to beat!

Providing Marasco doesnt start...

[PrinceJudea]

thought Marasco was off for a spell !?


thought the same?

[Dancing Sun]

I did hear that Fred Kersley was tossing the idea around about running Marasco. I dont really follow WA racing but what do you guys make of New Spice?

[Chiquita]

20% chance of starting in the Railway according to Kersley late last week
allocated weights may be delayed awaiting Kersley's final decision

[mv2040]

Weights ARE out, will screw it for everyone now regardless!

[Ade]

Sorry Ade , I was being humerous (or not) I can't answer your question.
It's alright. It is just a shame you can not have a mystery bet on a race you wish to nominate.

[Chiquita]

....what do you guys make of New Spice?

nice horse coming along well. great effort first-up. forget the Lee Steere run. no luck at all.

[Ade]

Great Melbourne Cup week at Ascot. How much money do you guys have in your TAB accounts now?

[Dancing Sun]

Thanks for your reply Chiquita, a mate of mine has told me to follow this horse right thru until the end of next spring providing nothing happens to it.

[mv2040]

WA Guineas this week... $2.20 about Dark Target is simply stealing money!

[Ade]

5/7 Pure Fire

Will become a great horse one day. Seen it at the paddock and at the trials and it goes well.

[wotarun]

WA Guineas this week... $2.20 about Dark Target is simply stealing money!

the jock a victim of circumstances..as per stewards report..might now go out for a spell [horse that is]..thats racing

[SunsetCoast]

Megatic would have still won regardless

[Neiltown]

Bunbury

Race 1 - 8 Julimar Boy
Race 2 - 7 Buck The Odds

Good each way chances in the first couple of maidens.

[AdriamnT]

I like these - all were beaten favourites at their last outing & look strong ew chances today..,,

Bunbury R5 H2 Nuts & Bolts
Bunbury R7 H9 Undertake a Dane
Bunbury R8 H1 Joachimstaler
Bunbury R9 H8 Timely Reign

[mv2040]

As hard as it is to put a positive spin on yesterdays debacle the only good thing to come out of it is next time they meet (hopefully over 1600) Dark Target will be way ver the odds.

Ridden properly, off the speed, Dark Target would give Megatic windburn.

How do you go past El Presidente? I'll be playing the first4. Could be some value. A few of the outsiders are capable of placing.

[Geez]

Until barriers were released thought New Spice & Mansion House were genuine chances against El Presidente. Still think they’re the main trio.

[Mav3000]

New Spice for me.

Mr Sandgroper a rough place chance with Danny Brereton to ride.

[Mr Quaddie]

just placed $100 on no questions.

A decent win on El. but if Hartleys had got there it would have been my biggest win in Australia in 20 years. shouldn't complain.

[cinna]

My ratings (Jims') had the old boy as 4th selection so had a lovely Quin collect!!

[westi]

Nice run Guyno in the Railway. The Kingston Town Classic (1800M) will be ideal ;)

[partypooper]

My ratings (Jims') had the old boy as 4th selection so had a lovely Quin collect!!

I'm on record here as saying that Hartleys Dream was much better than most thought, but of course that was b4 El Presidente. Tell me WHY even propelled by 93-1 (Unitab) , didn't I take the quinella???? I don't know, I backed El. P. to win and HD EW + numerous attempts at the Tri.

Just another "big fish story" I guess.

[westineast]

Nice run Guyno in the Railway. The Kingston Town Classic (1800M) will be ideal ;)

Thought New Spice also a good run from a futures perspective
Like Guyno will get better with extra distance

[Geez]

My outsiders Daka's Gem & Hartleys Dream

a very VERY nice result :D

[partypooper]

Geez, yes I spotted that, did you get the tri? I had them every which way but that, backed the first 4 in the novelties and didn't collect.........

[watsonnek]

...no complaints here...had only a tiny % first4 but still collected $700+

A lot of weight for Guyno! Won't be surprised if Luciani gives the cup a miss.

Former Sydneysider Sonny Bill given an easy hit-out Lark Hill trials yesterday. Had early raps in Sydney but couldn’t take the next step. I think he will do well over here.

[Mr Quaddie]

there is a massive tip for jean in the second at ascot today.

[Geez]

I think No Questions could place at e/w odds
Hartley's Dream came back in distance last year (like today) to run 3rd this race behind Marasco and Mansion House

[westman]

Bunbury off! Tons of rain down south!!

[westman]

there is a massive tip for jean in the second at ascot today.

..9th beaten 3.5 lens! only previous start won in NZ. where there's smoke...

[Little Imagele]

A lot of weight for Guyno! Won't be surprised if Luciani gives the cup a miss.

As predicted watsonnek..

[Geez]

Former Sydneysider Sonny Bill given an easy hit-out Lark Hill trials yesterday. Had early raps in Sydney but couldn’t take the next step. I think he will do well over here.

Racing in the last at Ascot today with Oliver to ride. If forward enough looks a genuine winning chance imo.

[Mr Quaddie]

good hit out it was, it was the talking point of the morning. i have $200 on him to win today.

Redronson might be the stumbling block

Good effort Sonny Bill under the circumstances..settled 2nd last about 8 or 9 lens off the lead..got home well along the fence..not a lot of room..only beaten 2lens
