GEELONG CUP
 

2 MR CELEBRITY
10 BRAVE LANCER
8 MEN AT WORK
1 SHOW BARRY

Mr Celebrity only has to stay to win and Gai Waterhouse is too shrewd a trainer to start such a good horse in a race it couldn't win

Wild Frankie (R8)
 

Blinkers off Pacifiers on will see this fellow improve dramatically tomorrow !

Let Go Thommo
 

Hi Pat! Expect further improvement from the lightly raced Let Go Thommo and be surprised if he doesn't win again tomorrow

I'll sit this one out
 

The kind of race I normally try to avoid. A number of the horses have major gear changes, others are first-up and some others only have trial form. I think Metal Dancer has some ability but how he will perform tomorrow (2ndUp) is anyone’s guess.

Belmont 3
 

The Questilla1400M


1 Top Drive 8 56.5 Brad Parnham
2 Matinee Appeal 3 54.5 Jason Brown
3 On The Record 9 54.5 Link Robertson
4 The Den 5 54 Troy Turner
5 Dark Emblem 1 53.5 Damian Miller
6 Prescribed 2 53.5 Paul Harvey
7 Real Special 4 53.5 Jason Whiting
8 Shadowbay 10 53.5 Willie Arnold
9 Sharp And Sassy 6 53.5 Patrick Carbery
10 The Two Of Us 11 53.5 Kevin Forrester
11 Zanaforce 7 53.5 Jessica Valas




Prescribed should be better than these (but watch for any move for unraced stablemate Sharp And Sassy) Top Drive and Matinee Appeal both placed at Belmont last starts after winning out bush.

Belmont 4
 

The Power Prince 1000M

1 Zedfire 9 60.5 Nicole Stone
2 Air Traveller 8 55.5 Jason Whiting
3 Mas Merah 3 55 Stephen Miller
4 Calarosa Donna 4 53 William Pike
5 Lady Abjar 6 53 Robert Markou
6 Lilac Hill 5 53 Peter Knuckey
7 Our Pekan 7 53 Mark Forder
8 Tiger Mite 1 53 Troy Turner
9 Velocious 2 53 Willie Arnold


Nicole Stone’s claim on Zedfire should ensure the winning cheque for the mare Mas Merah and Air Traveller should fight out the places.

Lilac Hill
 

…I wouldn’t leave Lilac Hill out of your calculations Pat…

Wild Frankie
 

Was fancied and unlucky last start but personally hasn’t grabbed me as yet – backed and beaten too many times! I'll wait and see the outcome of the gear changes.

Lilac Hill
 

I intend to heed your advice WayOutWest – she’s had no luck at all 2 starts this time in – lost her rider at Belmont and then according to the steward report missed the start at York and then failed to handle the track!

The Gray Bear most impressive last start and should win from the horse he beat Peruvian Blue to run the quinella again with the topweight Economy Flight 3rd.

Yep.... I had that exacta.... and same again my friend........ same again..... :)

Let Go Thommo
 

once again most impressive!

Let Go Thommo
 

Yeh but he takes a while to warm up.....no good for the old heart :rolleyes:

Let Go Thommo
 

Paid 2.10 / 1.40 a lot better than I thought after what I saw him earlier

Let Go Thommo
 

Was my equal highest rated horse anywhere today... so the 2.3 he paid over here was very good indeed

The others were

19/10/2005 4:12 CANTERBURY 6 2 MALCOLM 32
19/10/2005 4:30 GEELONG 8 2 MR CELEBRITY 32

Belmont 2
 

Four battling out favourtism and Interange is not in that group!

Belmont 2
 

..and now specking for the (10) Over Lock

I wouldnt imagine there would be much of a price about any of em tho...

The next in Perth looks fairly even to me...

DESIARNEZ
 

...what a great debut!! Lucy would be proud :)

..and bred to go much further..
Sire DESERT KING (IRE) Champion European 3YO; won 5 races inc. Curragh Irish Derby Gr 1, Irish 2000 Guineas Gr 1;

dad also happens to be the sire of Makybe Diva!!

..and looks like he has inherited some sprinting ability from mum's side...Savvy who is unraced was sired by Canny Lad!
