Thanks for that latest news pharfromoz. Great for connections & Aussie racing if it all comes off. Our coveted Horse-of-the-Year award will be announced in August, determined by the votes of more than 250 national racing media and racing industry executives. Icing on the cake if Takeover Target can snag that one as well.

Didn't see the race
Very surprised he didn't place
Any excuses?

I’ve watched the race a few times (you can view it on the Singapore Turf Club website). Couldn’t see any real excuses, although they did run a full second faster than Takeover did in winning last year. Perhaps the run in the Goodwood took the edge off a bit. It was a tough effort.

janiak still pushing on with the u.k. trip..takeover target must have pulled up ok..

phar, can you get bestbets.com.au/web/ in the US? If so could you let us know so I can send the link to a US forum & know they can get it!!

my progress bar on the lower right of the page loads up to about 3/4's of the way but the page doesnt come up. i used your link and i googled it myself.

Obviously not but thanks so much for trying & letting me know.

i just gave it another try from your link and it loaded.

Very, many thanks. How come you found the 'thumbs up' smiley & I couldn't?!!!!!! Whoops - just worked out you've probably 'imported' it!

still on track for the trip to the u.k. ..booked to fly from Singapore to England any day now..
