If your point is to get your facts straight, then get them straight: you called me a boy and I'm not. Also, Elvstroem beat Starcraft in the Caulfield Cup so get that bit right. Then understand the curse only affects the winner of the race that won over Starcraft. Christ, I'm not THAT complicated.

Starcraft, I think it's great that you are so passionate. Good to see. You go girl!

You've got debate happening and thats got to be a good thing, and you're fiesty.

Starcraft, I only backed Elvis in the Caulfield. Didn't think he would see out the 2 miles. Mummify hasn't been racing well enough. Balmuse IMO is better suited to fast/dead tracks, even though he has a good record in damp conditions. Like Starcraft, I prefer Balmuse over 1600m. At the end of the day I back horses that have form surrounding them along with a few other 'filters'.

Well whichever race it was, I didn't hear you correct who ever it was. As if it's also not blatantly obvious Starcraft has flopped and aside from the name I don't know why you think I'm still backing this horse.

"Aint Seen Nothin'" is my favourite horse at the mo. Does anyone know anything about it - like if it's a boy or what. Colour? Trainer?

Ain't Seen Nothin' is a chick. 5yo and trained by Barbara Joseph, I think. Record 29-8-2-5 and won >$600k. Very consistent mare. Better over ground and needs a good track to perform to her best. Has a very good 2nd-up record 4 from 5. Sire: Nothin Leica Dane (trained by Gai Waterhouse at the time and pretty handy sort) and dam: Icecapade (better off the track than on). Other than that I can't help.

I apologize Starcraft.

Hey Northerly, did you hear Roy and HG talk about Northerly about 3 years back when he first hit Sunline form, and they called him the "schitzophrenic horse." I never liked him until they said that. They explained that when he went onto the track, his result would rest entirely on what sort of mood he was in.

And thank you for the info on Aint Seen Nothin'. Would you agree that Gaye Waterhouse persists with entering multiple horses in all the big races and still has reliably inconsistent results? She has one I like with some cool name, last season I think.

How long you been into racing starcraft. Northerly wasnt schizo, but he had an ungainly action and threw his head around. He was actually a very placid horse around the stables and trackwork but you wouldnt want to mess with him on race day. Fields of Omagh found that out the hard way when Norton bit him mid race. Waterhouse has the second biggest team in Australia. Her two year old record is fantastic but she really struggles with older WFA horses. her record in melbourne is horrendous.
