I don't think you'll be seeing Northerly in any of the major handicaps this spring. Kersley would have put him past 2,000m prior to this if that was a goal. He knows that he's going to have a major slice of the prizemoney in the Plate if the horse is fit on the day. Why chance it by running him into the ground at Caulfield or Flemington??

Hey Hammers, I'm a times advocate too but the old Legal Eagles syndicate was pretty advanced for it's time, and some of their ideas still hold eg. framing your own market to sort out the overlays.
