thanks for stats westman, will turn out useful for me (I hope)

Getting in early with (7) Golly Gee. She would have won last start at Belmont but for commencing slowly, racing 3-wide until near the 800m & then laying outwards under pressure over the final bit! Blinkers off today in an attempt to have the filly settle. If she settles she will win.

******! Missed no. 10! That'll teach me to rush
But did get 2nd & 3rd at very nice odds. Thought (12) Sucre Coeur a great EW chance. Paid $16.40 in NSW!!

I think you'll find they've kept Golly Gee (scr today) for Saturday, westineast

Anyone know the latest?
