Ah so it's OK to single out peoples' personal characteristics when it suits you? Typical left wing wanker. You're probably still pining for your superstar prime minister who took off with her tail between her legs. I'm assuming you're were quite ok with the Opposition police spokeshag disrespecting our head of state? Of course you were you prize pillock. -

Really? Seems like a 3yr old handicap race to me. You'll be backing number 5 Jolly Good Fellow. Blinkers for the first time even though it isn't after Christmas. Bought by Brett Thompson Racing for $160,000 at the Magic Millions. -

A much stronger field than the 2000 Guineas of fillies lined up for the 1000 Guineas. -
So Betfair form expert Dan O'Sullivan's rating's for the week are in and he's all over Mr. B's career high ratings His career peak being in the 2000M Cox which shows he can get further and of course if he'd had BO over the longer distance may have raced too fiercely We'll leave that up to the experts like Davo and Pop Col's idea that BO would work this time though Mr Brightside had the blinkers on for the first time in his 40-start career and that may have proven a master stroke as he improved notably on his recent form to run a 104.5 rating and win the Group 1 Champions Mile, defeating Antino (103.5) by half a length. He came off previous ratings of 100.6 in the G1 Cox Plate, 100.8 in the G1 Might And Power Stakes and 100.9 in the G2 Feehan Stakes. This improved performance ranks just below his career peak of 104.9 in the 2023 Cox Plate, where he was narrowly beaten by Romantic Warrior, and slightly above his 104.3 rating in his Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes win the same year. His next level of top form shows ratings of 103.8 and 103.5 multiple times. While he may not be among the highest-rated horses we've seen, Mr Brightside’s list of achievements, consistency and longevity make him a more than worthy contender for future induction into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame. Across his 40-start career, he has claimed eight Group 1 wins (nine if the All-Star Mile is included), finished second six times (seven with the All-Star Mile), and run third twice, excelling at distances from 1400m to 2040m. Given his near career-best performance on Saturday, there’s no reason he can’t return in the Autumn with a strong chance to capture further Group 1 wins.
