    • The TAB didn't mind.  Weren't they always in front on the ledger?
    • that was what racing is all about and is what you can get when you have races run over staying distances. what helped make it such an enthralling contest was the tactics of john dunn. If we were being honest,they were very odd.its very rare to see a driver,in a long distance race, pour the pace on with 1400m to go,then go again and  try to slip them with 700m to go.it was a valiant performance by i dream of jeannie to still be holding onto 2nd with 50m to go after being stuffed with 300m to run. when they run races at such spped so far frm hone,its always surprising how advanyaged being on the inside is. Horses like cody banner and paige beat some very nice open class horses but taking advantage of the inside runs when the pace was at its hottest.. its rare to see people clapping as a horse comes down the straight,but your saw that yesterday. I can remember watching i can doosit win that race a few years ago. He didn't win it like oscar bonevena did, He won more on guts that brilliance that day,but his too was a memorable win for those who attended. I can doosit's will to win carried him through that day. Theres something about those really good horses that is great to watch.  i wonder how oscar bonevenas progeny go. Purdon trained horses haven't  tended to be as successful at stud as one may have expected,but oscar bonevena has the speed factor which may help him . time will tell. he seems very fairly priced at $2500.
    • Who used who the most?  Ellerslie or BGP crowd?
    • Well lets do a @Chief Stipe and cherry pick a race meeting for them, didn't they get 3 winners at Ellerslie on Saturday?  When was the last time they had over $3m worth of bloodstock running around in a day let alone one race like your idols did on Saturday?  Spending big $ will always get you attention , you should know that! 
    • Just out of interest.  Why do you think it is "Good"?
