Has Special Harmony ever won a 1200m race?

[Starcraft]

(just because I am quite amused at the sudden "discovery" of Raid the Royals - who has long been noted in my "exciting racehorses" posts...)

Gee do you think Makybe Diva might be a real chance over 3200m?

Not sure Starcraft :)

[puntersteve]

Songs Of Vienna has the pace to either lead or be up with leaders and should run out a very strong 1200M. She might not have a flash win strike rate but looks to be racing in the best form of her career since returning from a spell. Great effort when she went down by a short half-head to Skewiff in the Schweppes Stakes. EW all day for me.

Titanic Jack e/w special

[Mr ed]

I've got no doubt Via De Lago has a good Straight 6 win in her, she just loves this track. So what better race to back her in then the Straight 6, she ran a super race against Raid the Royals last time and gets a further 2kg off him, possibility of a wet track only enhance her chances and she looks a great e/w hope.

[Raw Instinct]

I could cry right now I through up the idea of taking a triffecta in this race but instead to a 4 horse quinella with Songs of Vienna, Via De Lago, Cahuita and Medium Swing with General Bayton as my 5th pick. I will admit I would never have had a 1st 4 but I am furios I didn't have the triffecta bet usually I wouldn't even think about it would have just put it on hopefully the protest gets up I might get better odds in the quinella plus I had my bigger bet on Songs of Vienna but did also back Via De Lago.

[puntersteve]

Songs Of Vienna has the pace to either lead or be up with leaders and should run out a very strong 1200M. She might not have a flash win strike rate but looks to be racing in the best form of her career since returning from a spell. Great effort when she went down by a short half-head to Skewiff in the Schweppes Stakes. EW all day for me.


:D

[Raw Instinct]

Trust me puntersteve I am just as happy it got the protest i would have had a good win with Via De Lago winning but got a far better one with Songs of Vienna getting up well done mate.

[Mr ed]

All shit aside that must be one of the worst upheld protests i have ever seen, not kidding these f*#cking stewards don't have anything to do, so they do things like upheld frivvilous protests, and say races are void, GF stewards your all old C@#ts working for nothing anyway, stop trying to make yourself look important.

[Raw Instinct]

Mr Ed I haven't seen the head on but there didn't look to be alot of interference but to be honest I was just happy to finally get one go my way there they have detroyed 2 very big all ups with BS protests which were also upheld they both cost me about $10 000 so like I said I won nowhere near that but it was nice for it to go my way for a change.

I know what your saying though mate those stewards down there must be smoking something good cause they are certainly pulling out some wierd decisons. So basically I was happy when the protest was upheld I have no idea whether or not it should have been though.

[Mr ed]

Well done guys, a good priced winner considering all the people giving it a chance on here.

I know one mans grief is another mans joy so good stuff. Very distressed after this upheld protest though, there really didn't look much in it AT ALL, this on top of backing Elmatilla in the bird race i'm starting to wonder why bother. I had a great day regardless but really could have been one out of the bag.
