Get on the Kid this weekend Xanadu. He always drifts in the market, and looks extremely hard to beat, is he the class horse of the race? because i'd say Our Smoking Joe is classier, although his record is nowhere near as good as Dandy's. Wait for Dilly Dally to get down the Flemington straight, there are not many in the land that could beat her at wfa down the straight 6.

Yes, Mr ed, the Kid certainly has an enviable record at the Valley and should run well. My only concern is a 3kg boy on topweights which I am usually averse to backing. However, I believe the apprentice has previously won on the kid so this nullifies any doubts about his ability to handle "the Moonee Valley champ." I also agree with your comment about Our Smoking Joe, a horse upon which I have won a bit in the past. Also, Dilly Dally,... like yourself, I noticed the exceptional run last week and in the right race at the right distance on the right track, what can stop her from cleaning up this Spring?

Cheers.

Mr ed, one thing I forgot to mention in my reply to you. Later today, at 3:10 p.m. EST, race 6 in Sydney, there are a number of "class" horses running-Spark Of Life, Court's In Session, Dance Hero and one that I am keeping my eye on...King Rex. It has been in good form and is to be ridden by Billy Idol...the only question is...can it step up? There is a big media push for Snippetson but I like to see at least ten starts from any horse before, statistically, I can evaluate whether it qualifies as a "class" horse.
Very interesting race but I will be dutch-betting if possible and having exotic bets hopefully to return a respectable POT. We'll see how it goes.

Cheers.

Class . What a great discusion. One of the great mystifying variables that attracts so many to the track .Persoanlly , i think 'class' best summed up by the legendary American punter Pittsburgh Phil who was once quoted as saying “Show me the man who can 'class' horses correctly and I will show you the man who can win all the money he wants”. For those that have not heard of Phil, grab his memoirs.A great read.

Go gaz!...keep rockin', the horses you have selected should provide you with the profits to really party on.

john spencer, good snooker player that bloke-although I haven't read that book, I am familiar with his thoughts and ideas which he formulated over a hundred years ago but which still have some benefit for we modern day punters.
A couple of my suggestions have been scratched and I will tread warily in Melbourne today also.

Good luck to all
