Evangaline Downs 31/08/05

This Man's Darling won by 17L unextended after being pressured in the lead from the 900m mark. Obvious but a huge win. Worth watching this replay if you can get a hold of it

Kara's Cat Was trapped 4 wide around the clubhouse turn, found the lead then pressured by both the #6 inside & #9 outside to the 600m pole. Still managed to fight on & only beaten inside the final 100m to run 3rd with a 4L gap to 4th.

Crawfish Etouffee Led in a fast pace, being pressured by the #9 to boot. After doing all that early work, the jockey took off before acceptances at the 700m mark & was 4L clear at the 400m. Tired final 200m but that was expected. Winner had a cold inside run & was suited by the early speed.

Hoosier Park 03/09 & 04/09

Gold Brick was at big odds & ran a bottler. Led in a very fast CT lead, found a small break on the HT & kept fighting to the 150m. Was a sitting duck to the late closers. Look for a slower pace & or positive jockey change.

The times at Hoosier Park over the 2 meetings I saw were very, very slow, so I guess they are the lowest of the low there??

Princess Teresa From gate 10, sat outside leader, no cover in a cut-throat lead, with a 6L or 7L gap to 3rd early. Strode clear in stretch unextended & untouched to a 5L win. Had speed & handled pressure so surely this is one that can step up in grade.
