According to WA press this morning, connections of Plastered have knocked back a $1.5 million offer from a prominent Victorian owner wanting to buy the horse before the Victoria Derby on Saturday.

rogerson has been trying to buy it!
He said on racing radio this morning that it looks a cups horse all over for next year.

You western folk have gone very quiet lately, I suppose you're just resting up for your big carnival which is just around the corner :smile:

Not sure about the rest of the bunch Paddy, but my visits to this forum are becoming less frequent - a lot more negativity than normal imo.

As for our carnival, bring it on and looking forward to it!

Hi sandgroper, as a keen WA fan from the gold coast, I enjoy your and other wa posts.

Don't let some negative hicks stop you from giving your opinion mate.

Keep up good efforts

On the subject of the Ascot summer carnival, there's a new format this year for 4 of the most popular race dates of the carnival, condensing these into a week-long timeframe as follows:

Saturday, December 4 - Railway Stakes.
Wednesday, December 8 – Listed Jungle Dawn Classic.
Saturday, December 11 - Colonel Reeves Stakes.
Sunday, December 12 - Fruit ‘n’ Veg Stakes.

Going to be a great week!


PS. Thanks JF.

I'm not happy with sunday meeting and having the jungle dawn on the wednesday meeting is a pain.

And why is that umrum. Care to elaborate?

From an interstate trainers perspective might find the new format attractive.
Could potentially bring over a few horses, aimed at a number of feature races, all happening over a short period.

Could be right Geez, we'll have to wait and see.

To wet your appetite take a look at the current noms for Saturday's group 2 Winterbottom (1200m).
