Don't know much about Grey Swallow but i have bought a share through the Aussie Syndicate in Honor In War. Aim was to run in the Cox Plate but is set for the Emirates. Has trained the house down and Danny O'Brien and Stephen Arnold are rapt - the lastest email to owners was that there is an air of confidence that it will run well. At 100/1 it is way overs. Has only missed prizemoney 4-5 times in its 36 race career. $100k for 8th sounds good to me.

Barrier 13 not an issue as it was to settle at the back anyway. Some of the leaders drawing wide a bonus as there is likely to be pace on early. Each way all day.

After Enirates will race in Hong Kong in December and come back in the Autumn after which it will go to stud in Aust.

I was looking forward to my first Cox Plate - now as an owner i am besides myself.

Good luck to all.

Congrats Collingwood hope he runs well for you been hearing he is training exceptionally well don't know if this means they really feel it is a winning chance in this race or not but at the odds he might be worth something e/w anyway.

Thanks Stix & Raw

The feedback is that O'Brien would be disappointed if HIW did not run in the first 6 - especially with how the draw has gone for some of the leaders.

The aim however is the Emirates and they are confident that it will go close in that. I personally feel the drop back to 1600 from 2000 may be a problem but that hasn't been a concern to the trainer or the other owners.

Fingers crossed.

Racing To Win for me,it will beat the Australians at least.

This thing has heart,if it gets in a ****** fight its all over.

I'm imagining a Bonecrusher -Our Waverly Star type of war,just not sure who is going to fill the Our Waverly Star role,probably ES but could be the Swallow.
