Thumbs up

Might have a go at it Luv2bet,

Good too know a few of you here have interests in a few horses. Racing gets too boring if you dont have more of an interest than punting. We have had a little bit of success of late with my old mans horses, actually we just retired one last week, Rumah Batik. She won six (2 in town) and her maiden at $96 a couple of years ago (what a day! - think we were the only ones on her!, in fact she always won at odds), she ran second a couple of weeks ago to Pipkin in town in her swansong. Only a smallish horse, you had to get her on her right day or else she was a b****! (and she needed the bull-ring as well Luv2 to be anywhere near her best!!). Good luck to her though, think she will have a great foal (she's visiting distant music) as she's so well conformed and correct.

And I think tommorrow another of my old mans horses, On Focus, should have her first foal to testa rossa (hence my liking to the testa's!) - will keep you's informed on how the little one goes if your interested. She was an exiting horse, won 4 stakes races at two before getting injured. She still holds the track record for 2yo at Cheltenham running I think 56.85 for 1000m.

But enough reminising! (they were the good old days!) lets look to balaclava tommorrow instead. Real storm here at the moment though, hope it doesnt persist or effect the track. Winds up to 100km/h can throw up some rough results!

Adelaide:

Brackenberry Bill: I think is close to a special with the long straight an lots of speed

Keytocache: owes me a stack but has heaps of ability, stiff comp
from...

Diceman: (could be the one - recently won a trial by 4 lengths so abviously fit first up) Obviously tiara dane rates very highly.

Adios Dapper - blackbooker

Toms Vision a special from 2,3,5,8,9

CUP:
On a Jeune: really like this horse, dont know where he will possie up though, a real risk.
Barraba Road should have every chance with Gatt/gate 1 so will be on him, Stamen to improve and flash home, and Royal Jade with Didham on board.

Brisbane:

Picabelle

Sandown:

Delvechio and Princess of oz qn ex (lots of pace though so beware - could set it up for Our guided missile)

Maggies Mate/ Ransons Claim qn ex etc

Test zone

Jestawinna
