HE'S BACK!!
 

The Pontiff returns today! :) – should be nice and fresh and ready to go!! ;)

About time!! and I think he has a bit of catching-up to do!

The Pontiff
 

No doubt his rides will be very well supported..and as usual the majority of his mounts will be 'under'..just a matter of working out which ones to back and which ones to lay....;)

Bunbury Sunday
 

In the penultimate tomorrow at Bunbury I’m expecting (4) Stitching to win her first race in WA. Backed for a stack last start over 1200M class 1 this track not beaten far will strip fitter and 1400M should suit her better. As the anchor in the multiples with 3,2,1&6.

Lark Hill Trials
 

Sprintess set for her race debut Bunbury R1 tomorrow ;)

Well done with the quartet in the 5th race, that's a great pick-up

Great effort Cheda! think you were on your lonesome (this forum) with that winner!!

Didn't take long for Paul Harvey to get amongst the winners again - a winning double and a 2nd. Winning doubles also to Jessica Valas and the very underrated Shaun McGruddy.

Hope you all followed! ;) Lyrical Queen won easily again Ascot yesterday. Same race stablemate Sir Chalmers ran a very good 2nd. A well deserved result for trainer Barry Newhham!

grey matter
 

Silver Deck and Strawb Knows (2nd), Jay Marttiini and Tick Tock (3rd), Wool Zone (6th) and Heavy Handed (8th) make up the grey brigade at Bunbury today.

I had Sir Chalmers rated on top but did save on Lyrical Queen. Boy those blinkers are really working for Lyrical Queen!!

And a great effort to get the first two Cheda! My assessments went out the door when the rain pelted down at Flemington. The only saver was a little EW It's Picnic in the last. Thought the last 'smelt' of a roughies result so quickly perused form of those over 20/1 and with some wet form. Didn't pick up It's Picnic first time around, the form guide didn't show any wet form for it, but on perusing another guide noted it ran 3rd in the slow at Sandown early 05 so included, thank goodness!! No doubt robbo was on board also, hey robbo?! :)

Sunday 29th January 2006

Racing WA Bunbury:

CR1 Number 2 China Visit 1:20pm

Nice type, should run a good race here. I am following this horse because I have planned to visit China for many months now, and all of a sudden a horse is set to begin it's career with the name of China Visit. What an omen. :)

grey matter wrap-up
 

Pale Dancer (3rd), Anzafan (5th), Silvermorn (2nd), Trib (5th) and Grey Feather (5th) were the results for the grey brigade at Geraldton Saturday.

grey matter wrap-up
 

Outside Edge (3rd), Silver Seam (1st), Leading Man (5th), Cosmic Dude (unplaced), Josie’s Show (3rd), Our Solid Bond (unplaced), Tribal Lord (2nd) and Danny Blue (4th) were the results for the grey brigade at Ascot Saturday.

Sprintess
 

Ran a very nice race to be beaten just a neck behind the hot fav China Visit. Not a bad place divi - $2.30

grey matter wrap-up
 

Silver Deck (3rd), Strawb Knows (unplaced), Jay Marttiini (1st), Tick Tock (scr), Wool Zone (2nd) and Heavy Handed (scr) were the results for the grey brigade at Bunbury Sunday.

Pinjarra Park, Wednesday
 

..an early tip for this Wednesday..don't say you weren't told :) ..race 7..horse 2.. Chieftilla ;)

Belmont trials today
 

The unraced neddy Johnnie Roucke was responsible for the fastest trial today at Belmont. Ridden by Jason Brown the son of Scenic won in a canter.

Other notable performances included the unraced 2YO Oroya Gold (trained by Danny Morton), handy country class stallion Master Vision and the above average Volition whose last win was the listed Belmont Guineas in June last year.

Elsie The Eagle was not extended same heat to run a close 2nd to Volition. Elsie The Eagle had to trial to the satisfaction of the Stewards following her late withdrawal at the barrier at Ascot Jan 21.

Gday Ade! Nice tip. Hope ya won enough to take some extra spending money to China when ya go! Cheers..,,

Liked Stitching too okay run for third but thought a bit disappointing
Winner Mr Tyson went well with blinkers first time, worth following
