Star of Florida was far too short, i only ended up having a tri in the race, but with him to win so no good. Wasn't the winner impressive, he looks to have come back in great order. Snippetson ran well Mav, don't you hate it when a 30 to 1 pop gets ya?

Paid $31 up here because of the Qld bias for Star Of Florida. Have no idea why it was so short. I thought Snippetson and Charge Forward would both beat it and as it turned out I was right. Just didn't count on something else beating both of them though. Don't like betting on 1000m races so I just had a small each way bet on Snippetson and an any2 bet with Snippetson and Charge Forward.

Yep, the David Atkins trained Impaler certainly back to best form with a vengeance! breaking the track record set last year by Star Of Florida in the Challenge Stakes running 56.25 (last 600m 33.21). Reported next start will be either the T.J Smith or Galaxy.

I think he should go to the Galaxy i hear there is a pretty good filly going to the TJ Smith.

Take out Impaler and it was an easy race to pick,,,Dam horse has been struggling of late but has always been a quick horse...
Alinghi will scare everything away in the TJ ...she might be the only one left
