I didn't get to see the race, how close was the FOO'ster in the end?

Sportz he stayed on pretty well beaten around about 3/4 length by Lad of the Manor who was 3 wide in the breeze all the way pretty good effort by him. In all honesty Perfect Promise won pretty easily with some nice runs behind her after that run though she might be close to the best mare in the country as a sprinter ran a huge 2nd in the stradbroke and that was another notch ahead of that run by her be interesting to see how she goes on from there.

Nice runs to Lad of the Manor, Fields of Omagh, Early Express, Great is Great, Casual Pass and Valedictum just having a real quick look at it. Any Regal Roller fans out there get off him and stay off he is gone I am afraid to say.

Hey? It wasn't me that asked about FOO. :D

LOL to many beers at the pub thought the walk home might have freshened me up a bit after watching the race a few more times the best of the closers were Domesday and Casual Pass both hit the line well but nothing really seemed to be overhauling Lad at any great rate which I think makes his effort huge but shows how good Perfect Promise might be.

Nope, was me. Thanks Raw.

************. Should have had Undue ahead of Jet Spur. Well done xpt and Goldcoaster. :)

In any case, the first 4 was nice. :D

Virage is very underrated.... bit a class there... Couldnt spilt her and the thing ran 2nd....

Nice work X, you pretty much had it perfectly rated.

Gday Mad

thnx fer that... ************ed up on the main race in sydney.... had a very nice on topper in Brissy a bit earlier which has pretty well made my month :)

She's a super filly, Virage. How anyone could have Rewaaya ahead of her (including the market) absolutely astounds me. Rewaaya's best win to date was in Open 3yo grade, her best run a second in a Group 1 when she had every possible.

Virage's best run - won a Group 1 by 2 lengths. Or was it her win against the open age in Group 2. Or her second in another Group 2 to California Dane. Or her Group 3 win in Brisbane. Or her 3yof Group 3 win at the Valley.

Rewaaya is a very, very nice filly, but fair dinkum...

Very, very, very nice. If it's the one i thinking of, and me thinks it is, well i suppose you'd take it, if ya had to ;)
