$4.60 now.  One thing I have noticed that will work against her is the rail is out 6m and nothing is coming off the pace at them moment.  Might upset Tentryris as well in the Newmarket as the outside does look off.

Have a look at the video, was not in reaction to a whip strike.  Collet used the whip twice 20-30 m before she shied

You're irrelevant @Huey and anyone sane who reads your posts knows you have a chip on both shoulders.  Get over whatever it was in racing that pissed you off it is destroying your enjoyment of your twilight years. I gather it was you that started the fake news about Te Akau leaving Cranbourne.  

I thought it was the whip initially but I'm not so sure now.  I've seen her lose the plot when she is put under pressure.  I reckon  Sweynesday came back at her.  Notice how she went for the clerk of the courses horse when caught?

So it wins or not?  You know you never give answers , scared of being proven wrong , which you are usually anyway. Anha Anha for me , that's how you tip @Chief Stipe .... get some help.

Looks like the only thing she could have shied at was the rail going from white to black?

it will be interesting to see if the put the video up with it there for us to see?

yes the NZ stock is great. The racing there is Not consistent . you need regular week to week racing like Mildura, Redcliffe, Hobart, Penrith and a heap of other locations just to Break even by winning 4 Races per year. The West Australia famous HALL and BOND stables have been buying horses from Southland for years and years Peter. Probably 1000 horses by now. I'm theMightyQuinn probably the best.  they're still buying now. Pete McMullens owner bought top slot trotter GUS from down there at Nathan Williamsons in recent years too. Boots raced Captains Mistress out of Nathans as well. Tonight she'll win the Chariots of Fire and be a star of all time. Unfortunately Nathan was going to win a Group 1 at Auckland with her but his sulky' fell apart 100m from the line. Probably the worst bit of BAD LUCK I've ever seen in the Sport. (Hope Nathan has mended from Injury)  Village Kid and Lightning Blue went on to be Interdominion Grand Final Champions after being Sold to the Aussies for $40,000 each in the 1980's . I helped bring about 50 horses out of NZ with the South Auckland Standardbred agency and they nearly all went on to win in Australia.  NONE of The NZ Owners Had to Sell . They just wanted to. They knew they couldn't compete up in the grades against Roy and Barry , Charlie Hunter ( who would export to USA)  and in the south DerekJones , Smolenski,  Butt family, Dunn and Dalgety , etc. they are world class and too good for them. Hence most of the owner trainers are still hacking around out your Sunday meetings  on grass or whatever to this day. And always Looking for an Aussie Buyer. thankfully Shannon and Boots at the yearlings sales leave a few horses with NZ trainers these days . Very enterprising men . and ultra successful in life.
