Made a bit of an error with that as they all being terrific winning horses, So have all won the Interdominion , but have all shown Speed to win the Miracle Mile during their careers as well. very versatile to win both. so B/ is answered. Pretty sure that none of them contested the NZ Cup though, but good to see the Aussie horses back having a crack at it in recent years though, -
Attention to detail is your friend for that one 😎 . didn't want to make it too hard.

What Pakenham Races Where Southside Racing Pakenham – 420 Nar Nar Goon – Longwarry Rd, Tynong VIC 3810 When Thursday, January 30, 2025 First Race 5:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble The Victorian night racing season continues at Pakenham with a competitive eight-race meeting scheduled for Thursday evening. A perfect summer evening is forecast, and with the track rated a Good 4 at the time of acceptances and the rail back in its true position, there will be no excuses for fancied runners throughout the night. The first of the Pakenham races is set to go at 5:15pm AEDT. Best Bet at Pakenham: Hey Now Hey Now Hey Now Hey Now caught the eye on debut at the Pakenham 1400m on December 20 when hitting the line with intent to finish second. In a race that was run to suit those up on speed, the three-year-old filly did well to finish within two lengths of the winner. From barrier three, if Craig Williams can have the Pierro filly settled in a mid-field position, all Hey Now Hey Now has to do is replicate last start’s finish to justify her short quote with . Best Bet Race 7 – #8 Hey Now Hey Now (3) 3yo Filly | T: Robert Hickmott | J: Craig Williams (56kg) Next Best at Pakenham: Under My Thumb Under My Thumb showed a bit of ability in her first racing preparation without breaking through for a victory. The four-year-old mare filled a minor placing in each of her three starts, and on the back of a couple of handy trials leading into this, she looks the goods. Michael Dee sticks on board and, from barrier five, will look to have the Bel Esprit mare lead from barrier to box. Next Best Race 3 – #6 Under My Thumb (5) 4yo Mare | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Michael Dee (57.5kg) Best Value at Pakenham: Courting Emily Courting Emily was massive in defeat on debut at Bendigo on December 15 before finishing midfield with little luck at Stawell last time out. The four-year-old gelding saw nothing but backsides at a crucial time and was beaten by three lengths when hardly tested. Barrier seven on Thursday means Harry Coffey should have the son of Intello in clear air approaching the home term, and if Courting Emily replicates the finish she produced on debut, she should prove too hard to hold out at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 4 – #1 Courting Emily (7) 4yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Harry Coffey (59.5kg) Thursday quaddie tips for Pakenham Pakenham quadrella selections January 30, 2025 3-4-5-10-11 2-3-8 4-8 2-5-8 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -

you make a good point about how carts these days have been modified from what they once were.. some are marketed with specific comments like, the viper race cart,it says "no trouble with horses hitting footrests...widest wheel span on the market when fitted with viper speed wheels"...and these days sulkies seem designed better to help keep a horses body straight which helps as well. Really i suppose its an advantage in having a horse trained by a big trainer who has all the flash sulkies and could use trial and error to work out what sulky worked best to avoid a big strding horse making contact. Harder for a trainer with just a couple in training to go and spend a few thousand on another cart with no guarantee it will solve the issue..Occassionally some may still have too long a stride or they may still swing their back legs out further and get close to the wheels at speed or whatever. actually its very interesting to note the different actions of each horse when they show the head on films of the final stages. you wouldn't realise how different they can be unless you were driving or positioned next to them. I guess what type of footrests are on a cart can figure into whether a driver is more likely to drive with his foot out of the footrests if unbalanced.
