      I did take photos of some,..   Did you see the collection of Horse Shoes from Famous Race Horses also,  the 'infamous' slope into one of the toilets!!! @Chief Stipe  by chance, have you been to Riverton? Well worth doing so! even with only a couple of 100 on course it has glamour and history!   as the sunsets...   <--- For most courses that I have taken photos of Grandstands and Out Buildings, most I do try and use that nice pre-sunset sun! That Golden hour...

      Hey Chief…. Views on Damask Rose?

      By Chief Stipe · Posted

      The other thing I would point out and not wishing to be a smart arse but it is published knowledge that after the KiwiB Damask Rose underwent fetlock chip surgery.  So her lead up to OZ racing wasn't that straightforward. In her 2 and 3 yr old seasons she wasn't too far behind the likes of Velocious, Alabama Lass and Captured by Love.

      Hey Chief…. Views on Damask Rose?

      By Chief Stipe · Posted

      But what have you "seen"?  At least @hesi you have given some justification for your opinion.  In terms of "improving" being nebulous perhaps I should have said if she gets back to the level she has shown in the past then she will be competitive in races better than Grp 3 in OZ. She is currently rated at 103 which is just a few points below the elite level.  When she first raced in OZ her rating was 104.  Her first campaign lost her a point.  There have been any number of horses that have won a Grp 1 with a lower rating at this stage in her career. Then you rate Evaporate as only a Grp 3 horse?
