Yeah, well I assume Gallic will probably be spelled now. How bad was it? I had him picked out for some of the staying races in Adelaide. At least that makes the decision of which horses to replace next time easier.

Some people had as many as 10 or 11 of their stable runners going around this week. Hard to see more than a few of those backing up next week, so they might find it a bit tough to add to their tally. Will be interesting to see how many selections we have next week. It was easy this week by comparison because at least we had the fields to go by. There's a couple of horses in my stable that I'm worried about because I thought they might have been in this week and they weren't. Hope they aren't injured or out for a spell.

I guess O'Sullivan is targetting the Stradbroke.The horse could be anything it has a relaxed galloping style and while the others are gut busting just lopes along.

Who the hell is Finito? And are there any General Nediym horses racing?

You can mark all of these down for this week:

Cianara
Dane Shakira
Landloper
Portland Singa
Raid The Royals
Reannag
Sorenstam
Willy Leica

They were all horses I was strongly considering for my stable but eventually I left them out. I see they're all nominated for this Saturday. You watch 'em get up now. Especially Raid The Royals which is one of my current favourites, but I left it out because I thought it might have gone out for a spell.

GO THE SINGA...in my group A

great last start run

I know, but as I said, I could have picked 20+ horses and that was one that I eventually decided to leave out. Probably a big mistake. It's nominated for the same race as Dane Shakira.

Have been very impressed with Raid the Royals sports, he really motors home. Just thought we might have missed the boat with him for this comp, as his odds will no longer be flash, and he'll start to creep up in the weights. My tip for the straight 6 will be Mcarthy's Bar if he gets a run, will almost certainly be on the minimum and was a monster finish first up for nearly a year, i wish i took him instead of Gallic.

Also thought Sonic Royal's next run will be in town after three absolute huge runs @ Cranbourne (the videos need to be seen to be believed) again i thought first trip to town so perhaps some odds. I have no doubt he can win in town, but he's instead been nominated for a poxy C4 @ Cranbourne Thursday, which he looks an absolute standout in. He has been winning them Showcase races so actually dropping in class for demoralising them last start @ ridiculous overs. He's getting up in weight so might get better then even money for him, in which case he's a must have.

Hopefully Sassbee runs this weekend Sportz, he's a real talent and can't wait to see him back @ the races.

Yes, I was going to include Sonic Royal too, but I looked at all the nominations last week and saw he was down for that Cranbourne race. That's the only reason I left him out. He's won all of his last 3 races at Cranbourne, so they obviously like running him there.

This Stable comp idea is a bit experimental. It probably would have been better to include all races on any day of the week and allow people to update their stable weekly. I just thought it would be a bit easier the way I've done it and we'll play it out this way until the end. It will be a real challenge.

For the next comp we do though, I'll probably use the following rules:
20 horses
Update weekly
Any TAB races

i'm not sure about that...it you update it weekly then isn't it basically a tipping comp? Just pick the horses you think will win on Saturday! Maybe 2 trades weekly but no more than that...And isn't 20 horses a bit too much...agreed that there were a lot more horses we could've put in isn't, but that is part of the game!

Yeah, it would only be 1 or 2 changes each week. Of the 20 horses, 10 of them would be horses that you MUST keep in your stable all the way through no matter what, while you could replace 1 or 2 of your other 10 horses each week. Maybe not 20 horses, perhaps 16 or something like that.

Anyway, don't worry about that now. We're not using those rules on the current stable.
