Hey Northerly, did you hear Roy and HG talk about Northerly about 3 years back when he first hit Sunline form, and they called him the "schitzophrenic horse." I never liked him until they said that. They explained that when he went onto the track, his result would rest entirely on what sort of mood he was in.
And thank you for the info on Aint Seen Nothin'. Would you agree that Gaye Waterhouse persists with entering multiple horses in all the big races and still has reliably inconsistent results? She has one I like with some cool name, last season I think.

How long you been into racing starcraft. Northerly wasnt schizo, but he had an ungainly action and threw his head around. He was actually a very placid horse around the stables and trackwork but you wouldnt want to mess with him on race day. Fields of Omagh found that out the hard way when Norton bit him mid race. Waterhouse has the second biggest team in Australia. Her two year old record is fantastic but she really struggles with older WFA horses. her record in melbourne is horrendous.
