The Rock gets 57. Thats got to be an early plus for him.
What are everyones thoughts?

thats a massive weight for him. Alinghi gets in real light as well. she should be too good and the weight pull for nasd makes the $10 or so for him look enticing

Cheers Tenacious Spirit. Obviously DANBIRD 51kg as well.

Umrum, agreed. NASD has the blinkers on first time. This could also help.

Danbird's jock will have to waste to ride at the 0.00 kgs he appears to be weighted at. Danny will be pleased with the allotted weight I would think. Might back it.

Keeninsky - easy!!

yeeeeeeeeeeeey Paddy's back!
