And the top'o the mornin to everyone, gee it's great to be alive & kickin :smile:

News on the west australian website this morning includes the following interesting article:

Leading interstate trainers lodged a string of nominations before entries closed yesterday for next month's $300,000 Healthway Karrakatta Plate, $150,000 WA Oaks and $300,000 WATC Derby.

Tony McEvoy, Lee Freedman, Michael Moroney, Peter Moody, Graeme Rogerson and Bill Mitchell indicated they would have runners in autumn feature events.

"Impressive winners Living Spirit, Come On Rory and Carlton Conquest have been nominated for the Karrakatta Plate by Tony McEvoy," WA Turf Club racing manager Greg Carpenter said. "Peter Moody's winner Snip Attack is also in the Plate.

"Graeme Rogerson's Sydney winners View From Above and Fawaz are in the WATC Derby. Michael Moroney entered Davidoff and Money Belt for that race. Melbourne winner Schumpeter was entered by Peter Moody. Tony McEvoy, Lee Freedman and Bill Mitchell also have Derby entries.

"Freedman put Victorian winner Dance On Wood in the Oaks and Tony McEvoy nominated the Melbourne winner Jameela.

"There were 18 eastern States nominations for the Karrakatta, 22 for the Derby and 15 for the Oaks."


Also as mentioned in an earlier posting, Blevvo returns to racing at Pinjarra tomorrow in the Chaff City Classic (1300m). Looks a nice betting race - any advice on this race from our Perth punting "experts" would be most appreciated.

Also now reported that Blevvo could go on to the Queensland carnival (I assume winter carnival). Earlier news item suggested a Sydney visit was also on the cards :???:

Maybe doing both locations.
