Huge win..but alot of the fancies were on the inside bashing each other..i had Rautias warrior and all he did was play smash up derby with them..
still a very strong win..

SNICKS ..missed the start by a mile..had the nerve to actually finish close up..
with him being declared a nonrunner he'll run around short next time..

QUAD QUEEN .. didn't get a crack at them..Fighting Fund with the very experienced Bowman on board kept her boxed in...purton had heaps of horse that he just couldnt use...given a riding lesson by Mr Bowman one of the best around..

100% FOR 390% RETURN....

MEXICAN MIST BELMONT R7 No.5 (1600m) WON $4.00 $1.70

TWO FROM 2.......

Binding showed up boldly on the weekend.....had to see anyone beating Dizelle over a longer distance as well after last week - except perhaps the Diva

Pay to follow chilli smoo in adelaide. Getting fitter every run and was powering home yesterday. Win not far away.

A Stix Blackbooker running tonight eh? Just in time as I need to get a little of my Saratoga stake bake tonight. Not a terrible day but some thirds that could have been 2nds to put me over the top. ANd Sportz likes as well. Lets get 'em boys!!!!! DEREGULATE and HEADTURNER scare me a bit in there but a three horse box will fix that fear!

AIRSTREAM WERRIBEE R6 No.1 (1420m) 2ND $1.60
STEPPING SUNSHINECOAST R7 No.3 (1200m) 3RD $ 1.50

AIRSTREAM made a nice run and looked sure to finish first but you could see the legs begin to get weary or maybe HEADTURNER is really that good. It was a great exacta over here paying $60. I would like to see Airstream catch a speed favoring surface next time against some under priced closers. Thanks Stix. I wish I had ridden out Sportz' tips last night but they closed after the Airstream race.

Blackbook today

SUPERFICIAL PORTMACQUARIE R5 No.1 (1212m)
Racing over extra distance today which will suit beautifully, drawn much better in the 4 and finished 2nd to The Rub, which is good form for this. Hope to get 3's

For the Americans that visit this site, I spotted a horse at Retama Park 20/08 by the name of Mr Question. It ran 2nd beaten 3 lengths, but a nice gap to 3rd. It raced 3 wide with no cover from gate 12, and the jockey seemed to have the hand brakes on down the stretch.

Thanks Brave Chief. I'll put Mr. Questin in my stable mail. Speaking of which, I have about five black bookers in today at Saratoga and getting short on funds so do yourself a favor and play 'em. That's when they win. 3rd Saratoga: #5 Swap Fliparoo should get nice stalking trip and good price
#1 Halo Humor will get bet with Bailey and Asmussen
#4 Saoirse Cat-Mott Storm Bird 2 yo fillie will battle with Halo (why couldn't they have all been entered in different races?

5th Saratoga: #1 ILLUSTRIOUS KISS/ #1A June the tiger

6th Sar: #1 Speedy Deedy-trained by Graham Motion(Better Talk Now+ Film Maker and ridden by his main man Ramon Dominguez)
#5 Sacre Via-closed a ton to get 2nd in first turf try at 30-1 winning 6 horse photo for place and setting up a $430 exacta. Had Dominguez not given the ride of the meet to the winner that day (Princess Dee 7/2), this 3 yo f. would have won it all-LONGSHOT SPECIAL
Both horses take huge steps up the claiming level but you can't tell what level they really belong at until they try it now, can ya?

7th Sar: #3) Trippi Appeal ran 2nd to best 2 yo in America First Samurai in AUg 7 allw. will be on lead
#4) Privat Vow-Asmussen/Bailey 2 yo- Need I say more!
