Disgusting decision on the protest in the Derby I maybe talk through my pocket but I don't really give a ******** that horse moved out about 7 horses really disadvantaged Volcanic Star and wiped out Theseo and Resoultion on the line, I am sure if the odds were the other way around it would have made a difference.

i agree totally Raw although i was stuck on sirmione so although it didnt matter to me i wish they had collided a hundred out and joined eskimo queen in losing their jockeys lol.......Arnold never got a chance to ride his horse out fully and stretch it out. imo definite worth an upheld verdict.
in the stradbroke i got absolutely heartbroken......had an all-up going at the start of the day had 50 on skyleda in roman squire into Gold Edition............not happy Jan although i did have 25 each way Benedetti which got a good div for the place. I remembered it running a top race first up a few preps ago in sydney against good horses and i thought it could repeat.......other than that the day went terrible for me....... backed 3 winners outright all day they were Laila's Dream at the coast (tipped to me by it's owner), Riva San in the second in Melbourne and Hillston Exchange in the sixth in Melbourne.......wallet was very empty at the end of today's play.......................... but that's why god invented credit cards |
great decision on the protest ;)

Turned out to be a real good day for me with a nice win for the day but so close to being a pretty nice day for me.
Race 1: I ended up having a couple of $10 win bets here on High Academy and Bohemian Dancer thought the later was going to get there for a bit but Skyleda was to strong on the line, I liked Skyleda but the odds just weren't there to have anything on IMO. Small loss but nothing dangerous Race 2: As much as I love Roman Squire $2.10 is far to short he is a real promising horse hopefully they can keep him in good order for a few more years as he gives the feeling he could turn into a real nice older horse and I do know he is 5 right now about to turn 6 not like he would be the 1st horse by Desert King to continue to improve as an older horse in this country. No bet here in the end other than a $10 all up that did no good Race 3: had no bet here again couldn't get excited about this race Race 4: I didn't mind Primal Impulse but I felt the odds were to short for the jockey that was engaged so I ended having $20 on Tenshi which i thought was a bit unlucky had a $3 quinella here with Primal Impulse, Tenshi & Solar Secret here shame Aim So High didn't fall over or something once again a loos but it was a sustainable one Race 5: Left this race alone just couldn't get excited at all about it Race 6: Earlier in the week I threw $50 on Sniper's Bullet at $9 and I am laughing now he always had the feel of a horse that with a guy like Williams involved I thought they would take advantage of the weight and try and push forward a bit when he landed where he did I was extremely confident he would win and that he did, I also had $10 e/w on Hard to Catch pre post wouldn't have touched him today but i thought his was a bottler of a run really hit the line hard, I had $5 e/w on Mr Ubiquitous on tuesday aswell at $61W and $16pl and had given up on him when the track had dried out a bit in the end he still nearly managed to survive the slaughter job from Seamer and almost pluck 3rd place. All in all a great result here didn't have a tri or anything just couldn't decide on one so getting $450 off of Sniper's Bullet pretty much made the day for me. Race 7: After the win in the straddie I was happy but this was a tough derby and decided to have a stab at the 3 horses i had mentioned Resolution, King of the Nile and Volcanic Star having $10 e/w on them all and to be honest I was gutted here this was one of the worst protest decisions i have seen and good knows i have been on the wrong side of a few of them, if Oliver keeps Empires Choice straight as he is supposed to do he would not have won not to mention the inerference he caused to Volcanic Star. I feel bad for connections and trainer here as I really feel they were ripped it is hard enough for these guys to get horses to these races let alone winning them. I managed to have a win off of this race and keep on a bit of a roll Race 8: Had $20 e/w on Stylish Qualo here and am still waiting for it to fire a shot very average effort. Lost $40 here but had that won anyway. Good day and get to go to the local Rocky races tomorrow and see the Rocky Cup and Newmarket which have both been moved to sunday this year thanks to the inclement weather. Now just sit back and wait for monday and hope i can continue to roll there. |
i think your being a bit pedantic on the protest, if memory serves me correct EC gave it a start and was clearly holding it on the line, i think volcanic star drifted out through to "intimidation" and i think you will agree Churchill Downs did not deserve that race(night race). the only "bump" was on/after the line. the right decision was made imo.

A cold packed day at EF which really struggles with big crowds,,,glad to hear they are developing the place because it really needs it..
no joy for me today..,,had another poor day and its really hitting the bank hard,,,,hopefully things turn around soon.. Race 1, Nothing to interesting here..Skyleda suited by the track ,,,, Race 2,,,got the exacta which paid nicely a few times,, and if Tentocountdown holds 3rd i'd have a got the tri 25times,,,but atleast a result,, Race 3,No e/ws about Main Vein here...in the end a good race to watch,,, Race 4,,same about this race,,,Clevergaze never a chance on this surface RAce 5,backed Falontine here and with the good run clearly outclassed,,,maybe didint like the surface ?? Race 6,,,ALready on Gee I jane froma while back,,couldnt even hear her in the call,,then again i dont think Wayne called many in the race,,,,thought Benedetti looked very good in the yard and shoulda woulda coulda had something on if i was on the ball,,,Mitanni looked big and over the top,,clearly Shane cut him to peices last start...Goldie was sensational,,Snipers Bullet is a fantastic athletic looking horse and was good even with the light weight,,, Race 7, Backed FortnWon ,,Stewart never fails to let me down.. RAce 8, Sir Monashee,,raced well i thought,,would have been a nice place collect but 4th to finish off a poor day.. Melbourne. Our Apache and Arctic Silver,,both placed but no good to me.. Adelaide same story Gold Coast Bringelly....wooohooo thank god a winnerr,,@!!!! ,,paid very nice to.. 10 bets for only a couple of collects,,,,,heres hoping Monday is an improve :) Well Done Raw with Snipers ,,good collect ,,and also well done NeilTown ,,a man of few words but 4 out of 8 is a great day.. Will stop a few tomorrow ,,, Saphire Written Habit SwanHill Frisco's Jess Sunshine Proud Hunter Rocky Sea Zulu (great race this) ,,if the cup is on i thought King Latarmiss a big show,, Kempsey Karaoke Karu .. |

I amnot being pedantic at all simply put Olive did not make his horse cover a straight course at all that horse moved a mile and at the time Volcanic was going as straight as a gun barrell, I have never been a fan of intmidation in an arguement but that was the 1st time I have felt it was warranted, If Volcanic Star holds a straight course while Empires Choice comes out on top of him then simply put neither one of them are in the finish and Sirmione wins the derby if they all hold a straight line I really feel Volcanic Star wins it not that anyone will ever know anyway they both pretty much were level all the way up the straight. |
i think there is only one reason you wanted intimidation in this protest. the fact remains empires choice came from behind VC too beat it and VC wasnt disadvantaged by drifting out, UNTIL right on the line when it copped a bump, having no affect on the outcome of the race.
