shame about the falls
look forward to more of your exotics for future ascot events

[Geez]

[Geez]

I do KC ;) beat Dante's Banquet last start who has since won in the city. Can't see why WB can't lead all the way again.

The form-line continues with Dante's Banquet winning again today

Good strikes Chiquita!

Re Week Bix, I'm sure many were disappointed with his performance yesterday, but I think the handicapper is just catching up (imo)........

In front as usual running 4th 01:24:38 (1400) with 52.5

Ditto previous start won in 01:21:90 (1400) with 50

Start before won 01:23:92 (1400) with 51.5

Re Week Bix, I'm sure many were disappointed with his performance yesterday, but I think the handicapper is just catching up (imo)........

Looked too good to be true!! and it was!

[westman]

what happened to nairobi perth race r3? just saw the result :eek:

Like with Week Bix the handicapper is catching up on Nairobi
Won previous 2 over 2200 with 1.5kg under the min (carried 51.5)
Yesterday carried 55.5, 1 kg over the min
Interestingly, although beaten 3.5lens yesterday ran a faster time overall then winning previous 2

[partypooper]

Ignoring any claims, never back a horse that is set to carry more than 3.5 kg's UP OR DOWN (strictly) from it's set weight last run. Nairobi LS 53, this start 57 (4kg's up) automatic no bet!

[Geez]

What’s this! Oroya Gold winning a race (albeit a trial). I don’t believe it!!

geez two wins in a row! amazing!!

SKMRC CHALLENGE
Verossi & Jolanta Star have ew chances. Verossi should be ok 1st-up & has early speed to overcome a wide draw. Jolanta Star will be on the pace & has a nice barrier. Like Mr Quaddie I think Moisture a good chance but the barrier gives me some concern. Many other chances. Not a bad bunch of 3YOs for this time of year!

Paul Harvey on Yuro. This could shorten the odds

2nd fav at the moment..,likely to start fav..,read somewhere that Yuros trainer believes he needs 2000M plus..,so the distance step-up wont hurt but will it be enough

[watsonnek]

More ground judging by todays race!

[partypooper]

in my humble opinion, either there is some skullduggery going on OR something MORE sinister, this is just one too many failures for Harvey!

[watsonnek]

Might be time to change managers!

[Little Imagele]

15 rides without a winner not so long ago…since 2 (trial win excluded) wins from 9 rides…current strike rate at provincials much better than city

[watsonnek]

Are my eyes deceiving me? Do I see Tapdog listed to race in the last at Gero tomorrow!!

[Dancing Sun]

Nope, he is in and is the topweight carrying 64

[Chiquita]

I thought Tapdog had retired after he sustained an injury in the 2007 Geraldton Cup which he won. Well there you go!

I see he has won 2 recent trials over 1000m. A few others may be a bit slick for him over the 1200m but who knows, might surprise.

The change in riding tactics (settling further back in the field rather than have it ridden on the pace which is its normal racing pattern) didn't hurt any. Wonder if they'll try it again.

What does PS mean on the TAB betting tickets? What is it used for?

Why doesn't the TAB web site provide information on how to fill in the betting tickets?

[El Gordo]

...must be a good chance to take out his 2nd Bunbury Stakes based on his outstanding performance in the Pinjarra Classic on Wed...

[schonegg]

el gordo, in R5, clash between Guyno - Nairobi - My Empire. Got a preference? Think Nairobi is up against it.
Some shorties going around today, will be great to see how Jestatune returns.

[watsonnek]

Are my eyes deceiving me? Do I see Danny Blue listed to race in the Bunbury Stakes tomorrow!!

[schonegg]

PERTH sensation Lords Ransom will not race in Melbourne until the spring carnival after owner Bob Peters decided yesterday against running in Saturday's Easter Cup (2000m) at Caulfield.

The Adam Durrant-trained four-year-old, who won the $130,000 Bunbury Cup (2200m) on Thursday, shapes as a future star of racing with six wins from nine starts.

"He's not mature yet and I've just been keeping him happy and racing him lightly," Durrant said.

There is considerable interest from Melbourne trainers wanting to add Lords Ransom, a potential Cups-winning horse, to their stables.

Peters has a history of sending horses to leading trainers David Hayes and Lee Freedman.

Durrant has aspirations of winning the spring riches himself, but concedes that he could lose the horse to a big Melbourne stable.

"I'd imagine Hayes and Freedman are very keen to get the horse," Durrant said.

"I train a lot of horses for Mr Peters. I'd be very disappointed to lose the horse, but I'd cop it on the chin.

"But I can assure you the horse would not be suited to being trained at Flemington. He needs his beach work."

David Hayes' racing manager Mark Pilkington admitted the stable would love to race the horse.

[Mr Quaddie]

Lord Ransom wont be going to Melbourne it seems.

We should have a Western Australian tipping comp.

[watsonnek]

didnt catch the race, what happened to Jestatune !?

Extract from the official stewards report "....When questioned regarding the disappointing performance, rider advised that the filly had travelled comfortably in running with cover but was under pressure at the 500m and failed to run on in the straight. Trainer Mr F. Kersley advised that he was disappointed with the filly’s performance and that he will monitor its recovery on return to the stables and report any findings to the Stewards. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities, however, there were some signs that the filly is in season."

Sire Rory's Jester, most of his female progeny tend to be early bloomers, Jestatune's best may be in the past, time will tell.

[grey sapphire]

I note has been nominated for the Easter Stakes (1500m) this Saturday. Top weight 60kgs (53kgs limit).

[suds]

A fairly soft win to Universal Ruler. This youngster is building a good record and maybe heading to a race in Singapore? Marasco can't be sacked yet, was wide and ran on well under the 60kg.

Betfair has won a High Court challenge against Western Australian laws that prohibit residents placing bets using the online exchange.

In a unanimous judgment the High Court today ruled the laws were invalid and WA residents could place a bet with Betfair's exchange in Hobart by telephone or on the internet.

The High Court also ruled that Betfair could publish or make available WA race fields by telephone or on the internet between Tasmania and another state.

[WildWildWest]

great result for punters in general! just hope betfair gives back to the local racing, pacing & chasing industries similar to what the tab does now. from what i’ve read this may not happen

Thanks!

You're welcome :) Starting to clear up a bit now.

from another forum - 70mm+ of rain at ascot today

Is Ascot likely to be held today, anyone know?

[iggy25]

the watab site has a track rating of slow for today so i guess they will be racing

[watsonnek]

6.3 is quite bad. Must be waterlogged. I'd say there will be a fair few scratchings.

[purplepassion]

marasco won ok but liked more the run of the runner-up scenic shot
others opinion?

Although Marasco won with a bit up his sleeve, he didn't appear to have the acceleration that he had a year or so ago...I hope it is just a fitness thing and that he has a lot of improvement in him

[schonegg]

Although Marasco won with a bit up his sleeve, he didn't appear to have the acceleration that he had a year or so agoThat blinding speed he had seems to have gone, looked like he took ages to win on Saturday. But looking at sectionals he still ran 34.00.
Scenic Shot was a surprise. Got flatfooted, but his last 100m was unreal.

[AdriamnT]

I like these EW today - all were beaten favourites at their last outing & look strong chances of redeeming themselves..,,

Sad to see Westerly Breeze retire likely heading to stud in the upcoming breeding season. 5 wins (inc WA Oaks) from just 16 starts & placed on another 6 occasions. $323,850 in prize money. Watching with interest the arrival of any offspring.

[watsonnek]

Remember backing her in the listed Northerly Stakes over 1400. Got 20/1. Ran a bold race. Just getting warm out wide last bit finished about 1.5 lens behind the winner. Her last 600 was one of the quickest in the race. Not bad for a mare at best over middle distance.

[iggy25]

What say u guys can Megatic mix it with the eastern state's 3yos

[schonegg]

$7 fixed - bookies keeping it safe. Should be very interesting tomorrow how he measures up and handles the opposite way as heads to The Doncaster.

[purplepassion]

Equal to the task imo
Not tried in the wet but by Danetime so should be able to handle it

[peanutz]

paul harvey riding
doesnt normally journey away from his home turf unless he thinks its worth the effort

[watsonnek]

Was wondering where the pontiff was today!

[peanutz]

yeah I think same still wondering where he was too

[peanutz]

Equal to the task imo
Not tried in the wet but by Danetime so should be able to handle it

was rather disappointing on face value...beaten a long way out.

[watsonnek]

Been on Sharlington Ace past three starts each time has been runner-up. Hope she can go one better today.

..,,ridden upside down! hoops first ride on the mare, hopefully his last!!

Well FremantleDoctor, hopefully you're feeling better after todays performance?

[Mr Quaddie]

Anyone know the meaning of a double in which the tipster puts in?

[iggy25]

any particular tipster or tipsters in mind ??

[watsonnek]

Yeah, same question here.

[Mr Quaddie]

Just that in some newspapers tipsters would put their best best and their double. I know what best best means, I am trying to work out what double means.

Two things springs to mind. ONE, double the amount you would bet on this race (horse). TWO, take the previous race selection and have a running double with this race's selection.

[schonegg]

Couple of good races on Saturday. Sires Produce, was the win of Brava Fortune in the Karrakatta a fluke?

Yeah most disappointing! Connections of Action Pak / Daka's Gem might as well get in line now to collect their major shares of the prize!!

[Mr Quaddie]

Impact Rating will win this. Lovely run last start.

[iggy25]

Just that in some newspapers tipsters would put their best best and their double. I know what best best means, I am trying to work out what double means.

Two things springs to mind. ONE, double the amount you would bet on this race (horse). TWO, take the previous race selection and have a running double with this race's selection.

….selection marked double refers to next best with the actual recommended double being that selection with the best bet or vice versa [depending which races first]
...this could be a sequential double...eg. race 5 into race 6 or an all-up eg. race 1 into race 6....[i.e. half a quaddie sort of :) ]

[Mr Quaddie]

Half of me? My son shall be named Mr Double!

Thanks iggy!

[watsonnek]

Due to insufficient acceptors the WA St Leger (LR) 2400m, scheduled at Ascot this Saturday, has been deleted from the programme.

The WA St Leger has now been re-programmed for Saturday 19 July 2008 and will replace the Winter Cup.

[Mr Quaddie]

Paul Harvey is so out of form, maybe he should consider retiring.

[robbo]

Those at club Olay disagree :D

[watsonnek]

Impact Rating will win this. Lovely run last start.

Topweight Narrogin Cup Sunday ;)

[watsonnek]

Paul Harvey is so out of form, maybe he should consider retiring.

Pike is doing ok

[watsonnek]

Those at club Olay disagree :D

lol

[POSEIDON]

Topweight Narrogin Cup Sunday ;)

Yeah should do ok..also like Profair

[watsonnek]

Those at club Olay disagree :D

Those at the club should be very happy after yesterday ;)

[Chiquita]

Harvey must be having his worst run ever! Any reason?

[watsonnek]

I think to some extent punters are expecting too much of Harvey. Some of the cattle he has been riding recently have actually performed to near their best but have been beaten.

[proxy]

seems to get caught wide a lot?

[proxy]

good time to be following pike & whiting

[schonegg]

Harvey not riding Megatic in Saturday's Doncaster(Jay Ford is). Not sure what that tells us ?

[suds]

seems to get caught wide a lot?

did again yesterday on a couple [that were beat] but did ride striking viking a treat to win on that horse

[PATfromPERTH]

Kal today R3 Clase R4 Bennys Raider R5 Expedition

[watsonnek]

G'day Pat, long time no post, great to see you back!

[watsonnek]

Harvey not riding Megatic in Saturday's Doncaster(Jay Ford is). Not sure what that tells us ?

Using local jock?

[watsonnek]

No that it made any difference ;)

[schonegg]

No that it made any difference http://www.propun.com.au/racing_forums/images/smilies/wink.gifIt went really bad today, beaten nearly 20 lengths!

In Perth today, promising types continued on their winning way. Special Reserve just got up and has now won 7 from 9 starts. Inarticulate won again making it 4 straight wins.

[watsonnek]

Yeah schonegg, good performances by those two in Perth, easy win Danecay as well

[Dancing Sun]

I love watching Danecay slay em one of my favs

[westineast]

Surprised nobody has mentioned New Spice's great effort to win at Sandown last Sat!

[suds]

yep just got there
good effort
anyone aware of plans next races?

[schonegg]

Surprised nobody has mentioned New Spice's great effort to win at Sandown last Sat!Yes, true!
Apparently 1 more run then prepare for the spring.

[schonegg]

Don't think I've ever seen so many short pre-post favorites on the same card.

Race 1 - Vain Raider $1.35
Race 2 - Ventoux $2.1
Race 3 - Vizard $2.1
Race 4 - Scenic Bullet $1.75
Race 5 - Snip Esprit $1.75
Race 6 - Danecay $1.28 !
Race 7 - Charlie Beau $2.1
Race 8 - Lambton Castle $1.9

[watsonnek]

Perhaps Charlie Beau & Lambton Castle may start a bit better but other than that yeah surprising to have so many shorties.

[thecritic]

I love watching Danecay slay em one of my favs

'slay em' time again

[watsonnek]

Yeh, should canter in, Pike & Carbery should fight out the minor, Peking Duck a rough chance

[thecritic]

need to canter a bit quicker next time :)

[watsonnek]

Perhaps Charlie Beau & Lambton Castle may start a bit better but other than that yeah surprising to have so many shorties.

Well, after that last race, is the next hot fav safe!? Charlie Beau, a good thing to win or get rolled? Has been a beaten fav a few times in the past! mmmmm

[schonegg]

Well, after that last race, is the next hot fav safe!? Charlie Beau, a good thing to win or get rolled? Has been a beaten fav a few times in the past! mmmmmDisappointing again Charlie Beau. But being first up, punters will back it again next time :)
What about Vizard's win? As the caller said, under a throttlehold!

[watsonnek]

Yeah top effort Vizard, ran the quickest final sectional of the day & according to the pontiff wasn't out of 1st gear!!

[Mr Quaddie]

Too many shorties, i hope it does not continue

[watsonnek]

Too many shorties, i hope it does not continue

They're called jockeys, Mr Quaddie :D

[eagle1]

Disappointing again Charlie Beau. But being first up, punters will back it again next time :)

Can't see any recent trial form but I'm sure Fred will have him primed for today. Expect another good run my Major Canny same race.

[Mr Quaddie]

Paul Harvey should give up the ghost. He is so ordinary these days.

[purplepassion]

Can't see any recent trial form but I'm sure Fred will have him primed for today. Expect another good run my Major Canny same race.

Great price Bealair. Now met & beat Major Canny 3 times ;)

[watsonnek]

Shocking run Major Canny, Harvey looked to give it every chance. On the Warpath all the better for run, went down fighting. Assume you were on Bealair, purplepassion, hope you got plenty. Didn't ping that it finished in front of Major Canny twice previously, otherwise I would have had a saver :rolleyes: I'll have to do my homework better in the future!

[schonegg]

Inarticulate is really flying, was an arrogant win!

[watsonnek]

Yes, true!
Apparently 1 more run then prepare for the spring.

I see New Spice has been nominated for two races at Flemington this Sat, 1400m & 1600m. Nice roomy track so should do ok whichever race they choose.

[schonegg]

Some very good horses going around at Belmont. Also in the Doomben Cup we have Scenic Shot, in Singapore there's Universal Ruler, and you can add former WA galloper New Spice racing at Flemington!

Vain Raider, Vizard, Inarticulate are amongst the new topliners in Perth. They'll be favorite tomorrow to continue on.

The Bolton Sprint, Marasco at $2.5 looks way too short with the 60kg, but maybe that won't be enough to slow him.
Another top notcher Special Reserve is in Open company for the first time, and a few others with light weights could upset.

[Dancing Sun]

The west aussies are going strong and i can see them continuing that strong form.

took a while to warm up but didn't he motor that final bit

[schonegg]

took a while to warm up but didn't he motor that final bitDidn't he motor!

Vaid Raider went too hard when taken on by Danana Smoothie.
Inarticulate went too bad so wanted to be spelling already! But shouldn't the trainer have seen the signs during the week?
Marasco won very well. Will be a short favorite in the Roma Cup.

[FremantleDoctor]

re Vain Raider (Danana Smoothie) interesting stewards report "Stewards were satisfied that Jockey Pike had not permitted his mount to exert undue pressure on VAIN RAIDER and no further action was taken"

[schonegg]

re Vain Raider (Danana Smoothie) interesting stewards report "Stewards were satisfied that Jockey Pike had not permitted his mount to exert undue pressure on VAIN RAIDER and no further action was taken"Yes, I'm nearly sure if you swapped the jockeys, i.e. Noske on Danana Smoothie and Pike on Vain Raider, the Stewards would've given Noske a holiday due to judgement error because of his inexperience. It was a talking point!

[Dancing Sun]

no so obvious as it turns out

[Dancing Sun]

warpath was terrible, something has gone a miss with this horse. Hopefully the fields are better next weekend, was a non bet program for me

[FremantleDoctor]

struck its head on jumping maybe the knock did worse than the jock reported

[schonegg]

struck its head on jumping maybe the knock did worse than the jock reported Interesting, and it wouldn't be reported in the Stewards Report. I'm sure incidents like this occur from time to time, and we never know the reason why they raced well below expected. We'll see in its next run.

[Dancing Sun]

Alright lets get rolling for what looks like a good card at Belmont this weekend, with the feature race being the Roma Cup,with Marasco Vs El Presidente.
Lets get some early thoughts. im going to stick with Marasco i think the class of this horse will get him well in front by the time they cross the line. Vizard looks probably the best of the day as well

[MyHatMyCoat]

Only bad luck will beat Marasco. El Presidente, Arctic Park & Royal Lott should fight it out for the skinny end of the purse.

[Mr Quaddie]

Charlie Beau should knock them off for $18. Unlucky last start, goes well this trip, has white bait on board this time. Looks the goods here.

[schonegg]

Hopefully the track is dead at worst.

Race 4, Vizard with 58kg will be all the rage, keeps running very fast sectionals. Young apprentice in-form too.

Race 7 Roma Cup. What a popular horse Marasco has become. $2 fixed is mighty skinny in a field of 15. I'll be watching only and hoping he wins:)
