Staunched its hard not to have won on lohnro with a strikerate like that. Who is the expert who brought in the criteria for being a champion, surely that decision must rest with the individual.

Cheers ED

yea i agree ed. good point, who decides the criteria of a champ. the article i read was in best bets a month or so back. cant remember who wrote it. ive heard they're thinking of breeding him with sunline. um pity ill be 80 before i could afford a tiny share of one. hehe

i remember reading about a horse that won 5 races in 14 days....now thats a champ

hehe now thats a great effort. were they provincials or city meetings? a friend was telling me about a trainer here in vic that doesnt really spell his horses. short breaks but no real spells. anyone know who that is. cant remember his name. its not marconi is it?

Staunched don't give up on Alinghi she is top class no doubt.Her run was a bottler in the slipper. I posted my asessment under the slipper heading before the race. Had her on top of my market but due to the likely run she was going to get had her a 94 chance (posted 74 but actually worked out to be 94)and did not back her as she was unders. Pricing or assessing value is just as important as picking winners if you are serious about winning long term.

cheers for the feedback legion. knew i wasnt alone. the run in the diamond was great to witness. 4 starts/1.3 million. allready the owners champ anyways. im hanging for fixed odds to open on the inglis. hope i can get something half decent.

Alinghi ran the fastest final sectionals in the Slipper.If you reverse the draw,you reverse the result.

yea cant wait to see her at her best. theres a lot more to come.
