How do you rate the fields quality now that those second and third tier Aussies have done their thing? -
like i keep saying, you need to base your assesment on what played out. not what horses may or may not do,just base the analysis on what did happen. And besides,using your own argument,that a horse will go anywhere with no driver, then can't you see your contradicting yourself. in other words theres 2 parts of your argument. 1)That the horse could have veered off in any direction. 2)that hacket and delany took the best option by getting so close to becker,because getting close to a horse that can veer off in any direction, is the smart thing to do.Contradictory,isn't it. so,herlihy had a rein detach from the bridle when driving harrison john,so that left him with only a rein to steer with,so it was herlihy placing weight on the inside rein which saw harrison john run in,not the horse chosing to run in. And when you say you were worried about herlihy hitting a light pole,i think you are just pulling my leg,.No horse is going to run into a big pole head on. Put simply,horses aren't that stupid.In all the years of racing anywhere,can you give even one instance of a horse running head on into a lighting pole? anyways,i will leave it at that. -

Alexis Badel is hoping to continue his flawless record on My Wish when he looks to cause an upset against Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble in Sunday’s Group One Stewards’ Cup (1,600m) at Sha Tin. The Mark Newnham-trained five-year-old put up some huge efforts last year, including wins in the Hong Kong Classic Mile and a close-up fourth in the Group One Champions Mile when only a length and a half behind Voyage Bubble. It has been mixed fortunes this season, however, with the Flying Artie...View the full article -
my bestie struggling home after yet another successful night on the punt -

Byerley Park conditioner Barbara Kennedy made her first foray to the South Island on Saturday a successful one as her handy mare Pour The Wine dominated her rivals in the closing stages of the Listed Speight’s Timaru Stakes (1200m) at Riccarton. The Daniel Nakhle-bred and part-owned daughter of Telperion had been struggling to recapture her form of old that had seen her finish in the top three in 13 of her 31 starts, and it had been nearly two years since she had featured in the winners’ enclosure. A last start seventh at Ellerslie, less than three lengths behind Sweynesday, hinted at better things and she stripped a fit horse for Kennedy and rider Kendra Bakker, although punters remained unconvinced as they let her start at odds of $24.80 on the tote. Bakker allowed her to find her feet early in the contest as she sat back near last on the inner before saving many lengths on her rivals by pushing up inside of runners rounding the home bend. Pour The Wine let down with a terrific sprint at the 300m and quickly burst to the front and went clear before easing down to beat the late closing Betty Spaghetti and Tomasina who filled the minor placings. Kennedy, who flew down from Auckland for the race, was overjoyed with her first stakes victory and also that she could provide apprentice Bakker with the same result. “That is my first stakes win and the same for Kendra so it is such a great feeling,” Kennedy said. “I had expected her to go well but when she got caught down on the inside I didn’t think she would finish off like that, but she handled the track really well. “She normally has quite a short sprint and then sort of peaks, but Kendra produced a pearler of a ride and she was just so strong at the end.” Kennedy had felt the mare could return to her best despite not having won for such a long period of time. “She has had some really hard luck stories and is always just in behind them,” she said. “This is going to be her last season before she goes to stud, so we thought she might get her best chance of a black-type win down here and I’m thrilled for Daniel and her other owners we could achieve that. “She is likely to stay down here for another couple of months as we have some more stakes races planned for her. “I do have to thank Lance Robinson, who has been looking after her for me since we sent her down last week, as he has done a great job keeping her ticking along in preparation for today.” Out of Nakhle’s O’Reilly mare Needlly, who won six races and was placed at stakes level, Pour The Wine is closely related to stakes winners Tomorrowland, Sahrhys and former top Hong Kong-based performer Flame Hero. She has now won five of her 32 starts and over $250,000 in prizemoney. View the full article
