Why bother @Newmarket. Your past history regarding the analysis of "value" has had abysmal results. Perhaps you could give us a list of your "value" runners today? I wouldn't worry about anyone punting on them and it would be to your advantage as your selections prices would lengthen! -

MAD HOUSE (g, 4, Vekoma–Stifled Heiress, by Munnings) was last seen fading to the back in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar last November, but before that he'd strung together a respectable tally of four consecutive victories which culminated with him taking home the hardware in the Sept. 20 GII Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx. Made the 3-5 heavy favorite here for his seasonal bow, Mad House went right to the front and never looked back after :21.94 and :44.42 sectionals, rolling home by 3 3/4 lengths in a crisp 1:08.85–only .18 off the 14-year-old track record. Dreaming of Kona (Fast Anna) was a well-beaten second. The victor is the most accomplished of his siblings as the second to the races and the only black-type earner, but his eldest half-sister is a winner. Stifled Heiress has a juvenile colt named Gaelic Legacy (Leinster) to her credit as well as a yearling full-brother to that one. She is due back to that stallion for a third time in 2026. 6th-Tampa Bay Downs, $51,900, Alw (C)/Opt. Clm ($100,000), 3-6, 4yo/up, 6f, 1:08.85, ft, 3 3/4 lengths. MAD HOUSE (g, 4, Vekoma–Stifled Heiress, by Munnings) Sales history: $47,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: GSW, 11-5-1-1, $318,015.

Just as the attachment between human and equine has been a driving force in Thoroughbred racing, people working and advocating for off-track Thoroughbreds are focused on building that bond.View the full article -
Your dead right, weakest G3 field that i can remember in Aus. Not for me thou, i am well up by not punting on her, $4 not value for a horse that would have to have everything lining up for it to win. Will back against again… maybe Chief might give his views before it races… -

A pair of juveniles from the Top Line Sales consignment led the penultimate OBS March under-tack show session Friday with a Drain the Clock filly (hip 508) and a Golden Pal colt (hip 598) sharing the co-fastest furlong breeze in :9 3/5. Setting the mark first of the two, the day's fastest-working colt was one that Top Line's Jimbo Gladwell admitted they stretched on to acquire for $275,000 at the Fasig-Tipton New York Saratoga Select Yearling Sale last August. “He had size and a beautiful walk [at Saratoga],” Gladwell said. “Everything you'd want in a horse. A big, pretty neck. All the balance and angles. We had to really reach for him.” From the first crop of Golden Pal, the colt is out of a mare with a perfect seven-for-seven produce record led by GSW Island Commish (Commissioner) who earned over $269,000 on the track. “He's been a really good training horse all year,” Gladwell continued. “We knew he was fast. But you never think they're going to work in :9 3/5. This morning, when we let him out there, we knew if we had one that might do it, he was the one. He's just a push button horse, anybody can get him to go fast. He's just pretty much, you let him go do his job and get out of his way.” That confidence continued into the session's fastest filly who matched the number set by her male stablemate earlier in the morning. “Once the Golden Pal did it, we thought the Drain the Clock might do it because she's been right there head and head with him all year,” Gladwell said of hip 508. “The Drain the Clock's have been big, beautiful horses. She's been on everyone's radar that's come out to our farm. She's a beautiful filly and a great example of what [the stallion] can get you. We've had two of them and they're both big and beautiful. And good minded, good training horses too. So we're pretty high on the stallion and she's been a queen all year. [The Drain the Clock foals] seem like they have some class too. They're not just one-dimensional.” Purchased by Exclusive Bloodstock as a yearling at Keeneland for $200,000, the filly is a half to no fewer than three stakes horses including stakes winner Windy Lu Who (Justin Phillip). “They're both big horses who have a lot of balance and a lot of muscle to them and both of them have a good way of moving with really big strides. The way OBS has the track set up safe and fast for us, the bigger-strided horses get across it easily and they come back home safe and happy,” Gladwell said. Candy Illusion | OBS Putting up the fastest quarter-mile mark of the day, Candy Illusion (Twirling Candy) (hip 453) breezed the distance in :20 2/5 for consignor Tom McCrocklin in the morning's opening group. Out of a stakes-placed Tizway first dam, the filly was a $75,000 RNA at Keeneland last September. “I though she was very nice at Keeneland as a yearling, and she's still owned by her breeders, Steve and Denise Smith from Lexington (Mesingw Farm),” McCrocklin said of the RNA. “Like a lot of these things, there's a soft spot and she just got overlooked but she's always seemed like a very nice horse.” McCrocklin stayed high on the filly through her 2-year-old prep. “Very high expectations for her,” McCrocklin said. “She's always been nice, a very fast filly, very classy. Big stride and she prepped really well here. I had set myself up for disappointment because I was expecting a big breeze when she came through. I'm a big believer in let the horse do the talking. She has a lot of length and scope, a lot of reach. Just a big, big stride on her. She's deceptive because she's not moving her legs fast but she's covering a lot of ground and to me is always a good sign. She's a very exciting filly.” With new restrictions placed upon on the riders beginning this sale, with riders no longer able to use the crop with their hands off the reins at any point before, during, or after a breeze, McCrocklin acknowledged they may have a small difference in the times. “Where it's affected me more is breaking off at the pole,” McCrocklin said. “We've never used much stick in our breezes but a lot of horses in the past are used to being tapped once or twice breaking off. So we've lost that, which I have no problem with, and we've just had to adjust a little bit with our break.” The post Top Line Goes 1-2 In Penultimate OBS March Under-Tack Show appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
