[Neiltown]

Partypooper, Marasco ran below his normal self last start. Today will tell if he retains the same ability. A great race with El Presidente, who is Cox Plate bound!
Marasco looked a class above El Presidente yesterday. Will be interesting
to see what the future plans are for both horses

[schonegg]

A great win. Reading todays news Marasco will spell then head to Melbourne again for the spring. Guessing will be sprint trips(< 1600m).

[partypooper]

Who would have thought you'd see the day when Oraya Gold would beat El Presidente? amazing!

[Dancing Sun]

Do WE and the MEDIA talk these animals up too much too soon, and then we kick em while there down

[partypooper]

I was "PRAISING" the performance of Oraya Gold rather than "KNOCKING" the performance of El Presidente....................

[Dancing Sun]

sorry if i come across as having a go at you because i wasnt, i am probably the most guilty of anyone, i love talking a horse and seeing it do well, and i am probably the first to kick it when its down

no woes fellas ;) all sorted out :)

spelling then back for the perth summer carnival

[schonegg]

I'm not sure about that sportzfan. I think it's done a tendon and is out at least 12 months.
Marasco will be racing at the Ascot summer carnival.

[sportzfan]

thanks schonegg
thats bad luck
promising horse
hope all turns out well

[schonegg]

The top action is in the east but Belmont has a couple of good races.

The 75k 1200m Birthday Stakes has a couple of headline Perth horses resuming - Megatic and Universal Ruler.
Megatic will get back from barrier 14 but goes well fresh. Universal Ruler was in hot form until that Singapore trip,
and from barrier 5 should get the gun run.

[sportzfan]

..so, any excuses megatic?

[schonegg]

No excuses sportzfan, had every chance yesterday for 2nd against a real up and comer Gilded Venom.

Things will hot up as soon as the spring carnival in Melbourne finishes, with the Railway Stakes part of the triple mile challenge. (The Emirates at Flemington is the first leg).

[sportzfan]

yeah, gilded venom did look good schonegg
megatic beat the rest pretty easily
expected more from idyllic prince!?

[sportzfan]

so, any feedback yesterdays races with the biggies coming up?
thought grand nirvana looked a bit unlucky...will fred push on with the railway?
great tussle famous roman / gilded venom...understand they ran a quick time!

[Wexford]

Anyone care to offer an opinion on the likely track rating for tomorrows G1 meeting?

[crash]

ASCOT [good 3]
1/1
3/4
4/9
5/2,5
7/14
8/5

win or e/w depending on odds.

[sportzfan]

thoughts kingston town classic anyone?

[schonegg]

What's your tip sportzfan?

Some good types racing today.

In race 5 the up and comer Bold Scene is taking another step up and if wins will be favorite for the Perth Cup(over 2400m this year).

For a Lay I'd go Naval Seal in race 6.

[sportzfan]

alas i missed the winner schonegg...bold scene appeared to have every chance...the run of doyoudare looked ok

[partypooper]

Good effort there Crash, I was havung a bad day, but snagged the last 2 winners, (place plan 5 bets 3 hits for a tiny profit)

[schonegg]

Agree sportzfan, Bold Scene every possible.

Fast times again, track record by Niconero, and Garavanni earlier ran close to it.

[sportzfan]

alas i missed the winner schonegg...bold scene appeared to have every chance...the run of doyoudare looked ok

both at ew odds cb cox stakes wed

[tevez17]

Think the Fuzz will run a much improved race on Wednesday, But i really like Gilded Venom think it's a great horse on the up and hope it comes to Melbourne next spring, I reckon it could win this by a way aslong as it's happy, heard it's not been it self latly maybe to much work, & probaly won't go on to the Perth Cup,

Don't what to think about Bold Scene not many excuses last time out i didn't think, but should still be there and there abouts at the end,

[sportzfan]

...hi tevez17..the fuzz..looked a top run wed

[sportzfan]

..and big firmer perth cup!

[schonegg]

IAS market

The Fuzz 4.0
Annenkov 6.5
Guyno 8.0
Lovre 8.0
Ballack 9.0
Mission Critical 9.0
Eskimo Dan 10.0

[sportzfan]

does anyone know if guyno has trained on since his last run (c b cox stakes)...beaten 6 lens that day but could improve heaps (imo) in the perth cup...

[schonegg]

Guyno's trainer Lou Luciani must've read your question sportzfan :) , he posted this on his website today.......

<!-- Begin .post --> GUYNO DRAWS THE OUTSIDE IN CUP

In what has been a somewhat frustrating campaign for my honest little galloper GUYNO, this mornings barrier draw seemed to be the latest in a series of "bad luck" events. In the thirteen horse field, GUYNO has drawn the outside barrier making his task just that little bit harder...... but not impossible! The only saving grace is that I have nobody else to blame for the bad draw as I selected the gate myself.

GUYNO raced for the first time since the 2008 Melbourne Cup when he resumed with what could best be described as a fair run in the C B Cox Stakes on December 17th. He made some late ground however he never sprinted to the line as hard as we have seen him do so in the past. That race was run at WFA and he does meet most of his rivals a good bit better at the weights in the Cup.

During the past week I have seen a nice turn around in the horses attitude and if he keeps heading in this direction I am confident that he will be as close to his top as I can have him coming off the gruelling two miles of the Melbourne Cup. GUYNO has been enjoying some beach work and bush work over the past few weeks and all in all he appears to be happy and trouble free.

His wide barrier was certainly not what I was hoping for in a race which I can see being run at a genuine pace. There are a number of front running types in the race along with a few others who like to race right on the speed. This should make for a very even tempo throughout and now it is up to his rider Jason Whiting to weave his magic and give the horse a soft trouble free run. If he does I believe we are in the race with the right weight and with conditions to suit. I can only hope that the sea breeze is in by Cup time as the bureau is forecasting a scorcher.

GUYNO will be having his last start for this campaign when he runs in the Cup before he heads to the paddock for a well earned spell.

[sportzfan]

does anyone know if guyno has trained on since his last run (c b cox stakes)...beaten 6 lens that day but could improve heaps (imo) in the perth cup...

beauty bottler...had a stack on...no need to chase for a while :)

[schonegg]

Well done sportzfan, great odds!

Some other great performances on the day with Danny Beau running a track record 56.19, and Dante's Volonte a speed machine winning easily again.

[sportzfan]

db vs dv...any chance of a clash in near future?

[sportzfan]

Well done sportzfan, great odds!

dantes volonte does it eazy again!

[sportzfan]

db vs dv...any chance of a clash in near future?

must be looming!?

[schonegg]

They're talking Goodwood in Adelaide for Dante's Volonte. The Australia Day stakes at Ascot will be its next start so we'll see what opposition turns up.

[jayjones1]

that should be a good day outhttp://c08y1024qmyi129.imageshacknow.info/img/1981/t08g1114ocrq/1.gifhttp://c08y1024qmyi129.imageshacknow.info/img/1808/t08g1114ocrq/1.gifhttp://c08y1024qmyi129.imageshacknow.info/img/1795/t08g1114ocrq/1.gif

[sportzfan]

shocking news gilded venom! hope he recovers...

[sportzfan]

gee keytomoney is a dark shade of red for tomorrow...can anyone suggest any dangers?

[sportzfan]

read a bit of a bump at the 200...apart from that looked to have every chance...

[sportzfan]

shocking news gilded venom! hope he recovers...


connections must be shattered!

[MyHatMyCoat]

Tragic outcome. Only just started to show how good he was. Condolences to the connections.

[schonegg]

Another speed lesson by Dante's Volonte today. The scratching of Danny Beau lost all the interest in the race
and as there isn't much around it's probably a good thing they'll spell him. May have a crack at the Goodwood in Adelaide.

[sportzfan]

yeah another eazy win in good time...is danny beau still on track for the newmarket?

[MyHatMyCoat]

Trainer still hoping Danny Beau will tackle the Group 1 Newmarket in March. Is back on the track (light work) with faster work planned from this Saturday if Danny Beau continues to improve.

[sportzfan]

thanks for the update myhatmycoat...

anyone know the latest re marasco?

[MyHatMyCoat]

Top shelf sandgropers!!
Well & truly back on track after the throat operation!

[MyHatMyCoat]

thanks for the update myhatmycoat...

anyone know the latest re marasco?

Unless plans have changed heading east for an autumn campaign with a lead-up race or two in Perth.

[sportzfan]

Top shelf sandgropers!!
Well & truly back on track after the throat operation!

yeah...was a solid win scenic blast...but a few excuses for some of the beaten brigade...

more importantly...when do we see dantes volonte over this way...beat scenic blast by 3.75lens last time they met...

[MyHatMyCoat]

Dantes heading to SA mid April for their big sprints

[MyHatMyCoat]

[sportzfan]

rate equable a top chance tomorrow night...jarrad noske from wa to ride...seems to ride ok from what i've seen??

[MyHatMyCoat]

Nothing lost with Jarrad aboard. Good strong rider. Natural talent.

[tevez17]

rate equable a top chance tomorrow night...jarrad noske from wa to ride...seems to ride ok from what i've seen??

Between it & Woppitt i reckon.

[schonegg]

For a young kid he's very strong at the finish of a race. He'll be a busy boy with a ride tonight at MV then tomorrow at Rosehill.

[sportzfan]

nice ride by the kid...

[MyHatMyCoat]

A couple more for Jaz in Sydney tomorrow. Sounds like he’ll be over east for a couple of weeks.

[MyHatMyCoat]

The (now) heavy8 will suit both of Jarrad's horses today.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Scenic Blast in some doubt for the Newmarket. Recovering from a 2cm cut on the inside of the offside fetlock joint. Received during the rough-and-tumble Oakleigh Plate where he ran 5th.

Stablemate Scenic Shot still on-track for the Australian Cup despite poor performance in the St George Stakes. Will be better suited at Flemington according to trainer Dan Morton.

[MyHatMyCoat]

A couple more for Jaz in Sydney tomorrow. Sounds like he’ll be over east for a couple of weeks.

Jarrad riding at Bendigo this Friday then back to Ascot this Sat.

[MyHatMyCoat]

R4 No. 7
R5 No. 2
R6 No. 16

[MyHatMyCoat]

Currently $3.60 fav jockey challenge.
Should go close.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Jarrad riding at Bendigo this Friday then back to Ascot this Sat.

Rumour is 3 months stint over east is imminent

[MyHatMyCoat]

Not sure with who at this point in time

[MyHatMyCoat]

Rumour is 3 months stint over east is imminent

Sounds like Jaz will be riding for the Peter Moody stable

[jayjones1]

wish him luck
http://c08y1024qmyi129.imageshacknow.info/img/1808/k08w1114mkfo/biggrin.gif

[MyHatMyCoat]

Yeah, the experience should serve him well, jayjones1

[MyHatMyCoat]

Reasonable book for Jarrod today. Best probably Electric General, Montrichard & Radiant Amber.

[sportzfan]

was all set to back exhilarating...pinjarra cup recently...noticed he was top weight in noms...but not in final field...anyone know why he didn't go around?

[MyHatMyCoat]

Yeah, was a bit of a surprise. Not seen any news to suggest a problem. Has been nominated for the Bunbury Cup next Thursday.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Bunbury Stakes tomorrow. Like a few including Oscar Wildly who looks well in at the weights.

[sportzfan]

i'm expecting oroya gold to run a bold race...

[sportzfan]

Yeah, was a bit of a surprise. Not seen any news to suggest a problem. Has been nominated for the Bunbury Cup next Thursday.

yeah...exhilarating has accepted...bit short in early betting...

[MyHatMyCoat]

I reckon Star Encounter will start fav race day

[sportzfan]

i hope so...who do you like myhatmycoat...

[BettyBoop]

Goldtown for me
No luck at all past few starts

[MyHatMyCoat]

i hope so...who do you like myhatmycoat...

I like a few sportzfan. My outsiders Jangala & Wicklow Hills.

[MyHatMyCoat]

A 3-horse war with Wicklow Hills prevailing. Not a bad run Jangala. Ran 5th.

[sportzfan]

ratz!...missed your post myhatmycoat...plenty of greens for your salad...eh!

[BettyBoop]

Goldtown for me
No luck at all past few starts

Did my moola :(
Liquidation / Shajezar for me J C Roberts

[MyHatMyCoat]

Still trying to sort out my finals. Phenomenons to start fav again. I've just about given up on him. But the extra distance in his favour. Lovre hasn't raced since the Perth Cup. Great training effort if he can be competitive. Almohad disappointed me a bit last run. Shajezar big run in the T J Smith. Hopefully will all look clearer tomorrow.

[BettyBoop]

Liquidation / Shajezar for me J C Roberts

Adding Dominicano
Beat most of these last start
Currently double figures

[BettyBoop]

Shadesoftime and Dane Smile look the value bets Ascot R1
Shame they've both drawn wide
But they do have early speed which should offset the draw

[MyHatMyCoat]

Worth a punt?

Good question BB.
Upside, working well, blinkers on, suited under the weight scale.
Downside, will start short, previous first-up form not all that hot, racing against some above average sprinters who are fit.
Likely a no-bet race for me.

And obvious room for improvement

[BettyBoop]

Ascot 21/3/09

Dante’s Volonte
7th straight win
I’m sure black-booked by many ages ago
But yesterday did it so easily!

Delta Gee
The lightly raced daughter of Street Cry won easily yesterday
Staying is definitely her caper!

[MyHatMyCoat]

Dante’s Volonte win did look good

[MyHatMyCoat]

A bit of a post-race concern, Steward's report: returned with a minor laceration to near hind fetlock. Let's hope only a minor laceration as stated.

[schonegg]

Hopefully nothing serious Hat, that win looked real cushy. So interesting to see it line up in the Goodwood.

[BettyBoop]

Is it true Damien Oliver booked to ride Dante’s Volonte in the Goodwood?

[schonegg]

Is it true Damien Oliver booked to ride Dante’s Volonte in the Goodwood?Apparently yes BB. Be great to see how it goes outside Perth.

[BettyBoop]

Thanks for the confirmation schonegg
So, I guess straight on to the Goodwood

[MyHatMyCoat]

One more run in Perth before the Goodwood. Miss Andretti Sprint (1200m) Saturday week.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Apparently yes BB. Be great to see how it goes outside Perth.

From what I can tell the Perth punting fraternity are at logger-heads with regards to what Dante’s Volonte has done so far & his future potential.

One group are basically saying he hasn't beaten much. The other group are saying, he's been running the times & carrying weight.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Time will tell. But have to admit, I'm a little excited!

[schonegg]

Yes I've seen that discussion about not being better/better than Scenic Blast. It's a waste of breath getting into that.
We shouldn't forget some other hot sprinters might yet travel to the east hopefully in the Spring. The untapped Vizard, Danny Beau really came on during the summer,
and on his day Dark Target probably beats them all.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Yeah when you look at it, WA currently has a handy bunch of sprinters

[MyHatMyCoat]

Good move imo Kersley opting for the Strickland instead of the Miss Andretti

[schonegg]

Probably Hat, but I think Marasco doesn't have much of an opinion of its trainer with the constant switch of distances over the last few starts.
In race 3 I'm hoping Kim Trader gets some luck from that wide gate.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Yeah in with a great chance schonegg. Had same barrier winning last start, so should be ok. Don't mind Escape Velocity. Very impressive last start, although a mid-week.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Aftermath of that shocking fall in the Oaks:

Following the race Jockeys D. Staeck (FULL MOON) and L. Camilleri (LADY JEUMONT) were examined by the Club’s Medical Officer and declared fit to ride.

FULL MOON (D. Staeck) – Fell near the 150m. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have returned with a moderate laceration to the inside of the off fore knee.

LADY JEUMONT (L. Camilleri) – Severely checked near the 150m and blundered when contacting a fallen runner and dislodged its rider. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have a minor abrasion to the inside of the off fore cannon.

Jockey J. Whiting (DELTA GEE) was examined by the Club’s Medical Officer and declared unfit to fulfil his remaining riding engagement in Race 8 due to a thumb injury.

DELTA GEE (J. Whiting) – Fell near the 150m. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have returned with generalised soreness to both shoulders and to be slightly lame in the near fore.

Jockey W. Pike (JEWELLED) was transported to Royal Perth Hospital for observation.

JEWELLED (W. Pike) – Restrained passing the 200m and then fell at the 150m. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have returned bleeding from the right nostril and with a haematoma to the off fore shoulder.

[BettyBoop]

That fall looked awful
Great to see all escaped with nil / minor injury

[MyHatMyCoat]

Sounds like Pike might have been worst affected, but not too bad.
Has concussion from reports, doesn’t remember much from the fall.
The inquiries will be interesting!

[MyHatMyCoat]

Jason Brown 6-week suspension and $2000 fine careless riding for allowing Oaks winner Cassandara Shadow to shift inwards leaving the 200m mark.
Stewards deemed the continual shifting in and contact with Brava Fortune were the catalyst behind the 3-horse fall involving Delta Gee, Full Moon and Jewelled.

Paul Harvey 23-day suspension and $1000 fine careless riding for allowing Admiring to shift in at the 200m, causing William Pike to check on board Jewelled just moments before the mare blundered in the horrific fall.

[BettyBoop]

Any excuses Dante’s Volonte?

[MyHatMyCoat]

Pulled up lame in the off fore.

[schonegg]

A couple of excellent races today at Ascot.

The 1400m Sires Produce for 2yos is a big field, I think eachway Don'trocktheboat won't miss the frame.

The 2400m WATC Derby has got an interesting runner, Markus Maximus. It finished a close 2nd to Big Col at Caulfield and that winner is in the AJC Derby earlier today

Pulled up lame in the off fore.

And reported now gone for a spell.

The 2400m WATC Derby has got an interesting runner, Markus Maximus. It finished a close 2nd to Big Col at Caulfield and that winner is in the AJC Derby earlier today
so we may get a guide. But Phenomenons will be all the rage.

Yeah schonegg, turned out to be a very interesting runner. Seems lots of follow-up options for Moody. VRC St Leger Stakes at Flemington Anzac Day, the South Australian Derby next month or Queensland Derby in June.

[jake]

heard may be spelled & brought back later this year..ultimate aim..the big one..

[MyHatMyCoat]

Gutsy win on Saturday, but seriously doubt will be up to Melbourne Cup standard. I’d be shooting for the SA / Qld Derby double.

Latest on Marasco, has arrived safely in Melbourne and will be floated to Sydney to be aimed at the G1 All Aged Stakes at Rosehill on April 25.

[jake]

the way the tracks are playing in sydney hope they're bringing his flippers

[schonegg]

That's great news Hat. I'd like to see Marasco in the Stradbroke, big field with speed on and him sitting back waiting to go. Be interesting to see who the rider is.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Yeah schonegg, onto Brissie if all goes well in Sydney. Maybe Fred will go with a local hoop. Will be interesting to see.

[MyHatMyCoat]

All the best to young Jarrad Noske who begins a riding stint with the Peter Moody stable today. Jaz hasn't ridden too many winners lately, let's hope that changes quickly.

[jake]

Yeah schonegg, onto Brissie if all goes well in Sydney. Maybe Fred will go with a local hoop. Will be interesting to see.
beadman would do me..if back from suspension..

[MyHatMyCoat]

the way the tracks are playing in sydney hope they're bringing his flippers

Yeah jake, wet tracks could be a worry, although Scenic progeny have a better winning strike rate in the wet than they do on the dry.

[jake]

Yeah schonegg, onto Brissie if all goes well in Sydney. Maybe Fred will go with a local hoop. Will be interesting to see.

just read that kersley had hoped damien oliver would ride marasco but oliver has elected to ride the chris waller-trained danleigh in the all-aged..

[MyHatMyCoat]

beadman would do me..if back from suspension..

With Ollie now out of the picture, just could happen. Darren returns from suspension on Anzac Day.

Scenic Shot is on his way to Brisbane to have another shot at the Hollindale Cup (Gold Coast), which he won last year. Trainer Dan Morton was very pleased with his fast finishing 3rd in Saturday's Listed Grandstand Cup, behind Megatic.

[wool17]

hollindale then doomben cup/brisbane cup?? im thinking the horse is destined to run well up here...although its a hard horse to catch.

9/1 fixed odds. Track condition most important. The dryer the better. Doubt Fred will start him if too wet.

[jake]

rate marasco around 13/1..duporth nice show at odds imo..

Drifting! Now 11/1. Slow (7). Let's hope the track gets firmer.

Latest on Marasco, has arrived safely in Melbourne and will be floated to Sydney to be aimed at the G1 All Aged Stakes at Rosehill on April 25.

Looked to have every chance today. Will Fred still head further north?

[MyHatMyCoat]

just read that kersley had hoped damien oliver would ride marasco but oliver has elected to ride the chris waller-trained danleigh in the all-aged..

Who said Ollie's not a good judge! :)

[schonegg]

Agree Hat, every chance for Marasco. I'd still take him up north.

Do you think he handled the wet track ok yesterday schonegg? Unlikely much firmer in Brissie.

[schonegg]

Unlikely much firmer in Brissie.Hope they've had enough rain, so from now on only good tracks! Maybe the class won't be as strong and might have needed the run clockwise. Ok, excuses. (In the pic, looks a close up 9th but was giving ground the last 100m.)

[MyHatMyCoat]

From what I read Fred was very disappointed with Marasco’s performance, so the trip north might not happen. Strange as it might sound, I thought Marasco raced liked he needed the run. I’d be pushing-on with the Brissie campaign.

[jake]

not starting st. leger..runner-up berlioz is..anyone know latest plan for markus maximus?

wa form looking ok! i'm guessing queensland derby for markus maximus?

[MyHatMyCoat]

Scenic Shot is on his way to Brisbane to have another shot at the Hollindale Cup (Gold Coast), which he won last year. Trainer Dan Morton was very pleased with his fast finishing 3rd in Saturday's Listed Grandstand Cup, behind Megatic.

Looking forward to the Hollindale, odds shorter than I expected, go SS & Ollie!

[MyHatMyCoat]

wa form looking ok! i'm guessing queensland derby for markus maximus?

If you're correct jake we'll have an interesting re-match. Berlioz is skipping the South Australian Derby for the Queensland Derby.

Has Fred made up his mind yet, I've not heard anything?
And where is the Fish, can't see any rides for the weekend!

[schonegg]

Haven't heard Hat, hope they continue in Queensland. Regarding Whiting, strange seeing Striken without the fish! Hasn't ridden for a few weeks though, not sure where he is.
Small fields mostly tomorrow :(. In the last, up and comer Werd has a bit of a cult following, has a good barrier to be in the finish.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Nominated for the Doomben Cup as well as the Derby.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Back to Belmont this Saturday. Anything like last years opening should be a great day & a big crowd. Lots of freebies as well.

Almost for the lightly raced Werd, nosed out in the last. Great riding effort Steven Parnham on the winner considering he was involved in a fall the race prior. And good news the Fish, back on Wednesday, guess he's just been taking a bit of a break. Anything of interest Wed, schonegg?

[jake]

Nominated for the Doomben Cup as well as the Derby.

yeah thanks hat..i see moody has nominated a few for both races..will have to wait & see how things pan out..

[schonegg]

Not really Hat. I think Akheson will find it tougher than the walk in the park last time so I'll be laying that if a shortish price.
Back to Belmont on Saturday!

[jake]

yeah agree schonegg..i've a few rated above akheson..also rate osh empire a bit of a risk..even though it should get a plum run from the inside marble..

[MyHatMyCoat]

Good call, both of you.

[MyHatMyCoat]

The pontiff returns from suspension this Sat, shouldn't take long for Paul to get back in the winners list!

[jake]

yeah agree schonegg..i've a few rated above akheson..also rate osh empire a bit of a risk..even though it should get a plum run from the inside marble..

had a nice result osh empire not placing..still don't believe just how short it started!

[MyHatMyCoat]

All the best to young Jarrad Noske who begins a riding stint with the Peter Moody stable today. Jaz hasn't ridden too many winners lately, let's hope that changes quickly.

Full book tomorrow, hope the boy does well.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Good news schonegg. Marasco will land in the sunshine state next week.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Full book tomorrow, hope the boy does well.

Not a great day to say least. Ah well, lets hope better results, next meeting.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Good news schonegg. Marasco will land in the sunshine state next week.

Doomben 10,000 & then possibly the Stradbroke Handicap.

[schonegg]

Great news Hat. Hope the track is firm for the Doomben 10,000

[MyHatMyCoat]

Currently 14/1 10000, 20/1 Straddie

[MyHatMyCoat]

yeah thanks hat..i see moody has nominated a few for both races..will have to wait & see how things pan out..

Markus Maximus has arrived in Brisbane, jake. If he settles well a Doomben Cup start is a strong possibility, otherwise the Rough Habit then onto the Qld Derby.

[jake]

thanks hat..showing only 12/1 cup..seems a bit short to me..expected around 20/1..

[jake]

well hat..markus is a starter :) ..what chance scenic shot?..needs to improve heaps on his last start..

[schonegg]

A very good field with a several resuming from spells and letups.
The leader should be Vain Raider whipping across from out wide. The last bit will test it. I'll tip Hadabeclorka from Elliotto.

What bad luck! Young Jarrad out for 4-5 weeks with a broken wrist. Just warming up too.

[MyHatMyCoat]

well hat..markus is a starter :) ..what chance scenic shot?..needs to improve heaps on his last start..

I think he will improve heaps today, jake. A little concerned the barrier, if he can get a good run should be in the finish.

[schonegg]

The in-form Shane Scriven booked for Marasco in Saturday's Doomben 10,000.

[MyHatMyCoat]

I think he will improve heaps today, jake. A little concerned the barrier, if he can get a good run should be in the finish.

What a gutsy effort. O'Shea Stakes next on agenda.

[MyHatMyCoat]

The in-form Shane Scriven booked for Marasco in Saturday's Doomben 10,000.

Looks a good move schonegg. Another shot at the Cox Plate is apparently on Marasco's radar, if all goes well in Brissie.

[MyHatMyCoat]

If they run on Sat, gonna be a very wet track. If so, do you reckon Fred will start him, schonegg?

[schonegg]

Hat, Fred's probably seething at the moment. Was in two minds to take him north(or spell for Melbourne) so what does he do now? Looks like he'll run on Saturday($34 with IAS!) and if doesn't fire you'd bet Fred will take him back home :(

[MyHatMyCoat]

Yeah, you’re probably right schonegg. And to add insult to wounds, he has drawn an inside barrier. Not normally the best place to be on a wet track.

[jake]

I think he will improve heaps today, jake. A little concerned the barrier, if he can get a good run should be in the finish.

belated thanks hat..i did get on..

[MyHatMyCoat]

Thats good to hear, jake. Cheers.

Not a bad run today schonegg, what do you reckon? Officially finished 6th. Loomed as a chance early in the straight, but then looked like he didn't really relish the track condition final bit.

[schonegg]

Hat, Scriven couldn't have ridden it any better. Got out at the right time, loomed up as you say, and then the same as in Sydney showed no acceleration. Don't know if it's the wet tracks or just not good enough.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Yeah schonegg, agree Scriven rode him a treat under the circumstances. Do you reckon Fred will butter-up (Straddie), firm track would be nice.

[jake]

read somewhere that scenic blast was to gallop yesterday between races at belmont..did he? ..how did he go? ..thanks

[jake]

Yeah schonegg, agree Scriven rode him a treat under the circumstances. Do you reckon Fred will butter-up (Straddie), firm track would be nice.

yep..marasco is heading for the straddie..

[MyHatMyCoat]

Spot-on jake. Now only 26 horses nominated, with Marasco the new topweight.

Pike To Ride In Hong Kong

The states leading jockey William Pike is set to continue his riding career in Hong Kong after signing with the HKJC.

Pike will commence his riding contract at the opening meeting of the new season on September 15 and is required to be in Hong Kong two weeks before the commencement of the season.

“Yes I am going to try my luck in Hong Kong. It is the best racing in the world and I am going to try and match it against them.” Pike told perthracing.com.au

“The HKJC contacted me and it is an opportunity too good to resist.”

Pike currently sits atop of the rider’s premiership here in Perth with 73 winners, more then 34 clear of his nearest rival Troy Turner.

Yep, certainly is an opportunity too good to resist. Warmed up with a treble Belmont Sat.

Sandgroper Scenic Blast not disgraced in finishing 2nd to Tan Tat De Lago yesterday
Nice ride Jason Brown
Has this horse improved heaps or what!?

Last edited by Rogan Josh : 9th September 2007 at 07:22 PM.


...and he hasn't stopped improving!!

[schonegg]

And Bart did a great job with the sandgroper Rogan Josh :)

Daniel Morton has had great success with his Scenics. Off to UK with Scenic Blast, Scenic Shot is in devastating form in Queensland and he's got another very good one,
Scenic Bullet, hopefully return to the track soon.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Bit surprised to see Scenic Shot in the final field Brissie Cup. Thought 60kgs would put Morton off.

[jake]

has broadway belle gone to the spelling paddock?

[MyHatMyCoat]

Don't know jake, perhaps schonegg can advise.

[schonegg]

No idea Hat, seeing her in the noms was a shock though, aiming a bit high so soon.

Great racing tomorrow with the Belmont Sprint and the Belmont Guineas.

In the Guineas, Mega Steel is one of those promising types you'd love to own. Races on the speed, and fast, and had a change of gears last time. Breeding suggests 1600m no problem. Up against Grand Nirvana at set weights makes it a real challenge though.

In the Sprint a big field in a wide open market will make it genuinely run unlike the Roma Cup a couple of weeks ago. I think Idyllic Prince is ready to strike, but barrier 18 will make it settle wide and back. Universal Ruler was once the top sprinter. First up over 1400m is a surprise but I guess connections know best!

[jake]

hard to see grand nirvana getting beat under the weight scale..agree schonegg..mega steel looks a nice type in the making..lead rope done nothing wrong this prep..hawkeye mort loves belmont..& escape velocity should put in another honest performance..

[MyHatMyCoat]

No-bet race for me. Grand Nirvana should win but very short & prev form over 1600/1800M not all that hot. Mega Steel the only other one in betting at the moment.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Kool ride the pontiff on Moonlight Drive!

[MyHatMyCoat]

Sandgroper Daka's Gem about to race at Sandown. Good luck to connections.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Well, that run was disappointing!

[jake]
