SLB2.0

They don't come to Australia because their 3rd and 4th-rate stayers win some of the biggest Group 1 races down under. Australia isn't where the best horses race, even though we would like to think so. There is an example every week of a terrible British stayer cleaning up some 1400-1600m race like it's track work. Winx, of course, would have likely won wherever she went, but we will never know. Instead, she was largely racing against her stablemates every week, who were looking for 2400m. She had nothing left to prove in Australia, yet continued to race year after year, and it's not like the owners need the easy cash.

Seeing Orchestral overseas would be great. Imagine having a filly/mare of that quality and not seeing how she goes against the world's best in Europe/Asia. Erhmm... Winx...

Can someone explain why she was offered at the sale if the owners of Winx bought her, anyway. Presuming there's much more to it.

Storm Boy Bubble burst - when are people going to stop rating Magic Millions form? It very rarely stacks up at the elite level.

Massive fast lane about 3-4 lengths off the inside draw at Rosehill last week. It was quite comical.

Good to see Leo hasn't changed in his old age. Still think he's over 6 feet, still dresses like Ellen Degeneres, and believes working out at a boxing gym makes him a boxer. The poorest of poor blokes he is - providing he still identifies as one.

Does Johnson have any legal blights on his record at all? I know they leave people out of the HoF in the US for any off-field (off-track) transgressions.

The horse comes second in the US. 7 deaths just that week. It's a rapidly dying sport over there. Remind you of anywhere else?

Call Scoobysnacks out on his hypocrisy and this will happen...

I made this point before he took over. Richards was in a system which allowed him to succeed. And, as we're seeing, Walker has taken over and the same results have happened.

Anyone have the stats on how many times BGP has returned a profit?

The thing is that it doesn't set a precedence.... this happens how often? It seems like the stipes do it every 2/3 years to remind people that the rule is there.

Well there was a jockey death... so maybe let this sit for a bit.

Whilst technically correct because The Everest isn't graded, it's not good enough. It stems from the original comments posted with the Australian bookmakers before they update the comments.

Same. It's definitely their problem.

It has been this way all week for me. Quality service.

Same here. Terrible at the moment.

True story. He sends me messages threatening me. Bullying I guess you'd call it. I typically don't deal with people with low IQs, but Scooby snacks doesn't help himself. Thing is. I don't think he even realised how hypocritical he is. His brain doesn't quite work in that manner. I can guarantee he'll send me a message about this post, once my ban is lifted of course, and obviously I'm done posting on that shithole of a site anyway. A site where you get suspended for enciting discussion, on an online forum of all places!

I got banned for using this emoiji🤔 on scooby's post about censorship. The guy is weak.

Well... that was terrible.

Seems about right!

I just challenged him to a charity boxing fight - he blocked me after telling me to disappear. It seems like his tune has changed? Or is he now self-aware about how bad getting pummeled by Sunlineboy would look for his 2025 Mayoral candidacy would look?

Fair call. I was meaning in Australia of course!

Thoughts on going to the Derby? It can take the 'class' edge off a lot of runners, and if they go to the Derby, that's the Australian autumn all but over. She would then come back in the spring and where to from there? Back to targeting mile races, right? I'm not a trainer, obviously, but I'd stick to the rich 1600-2000m races. There's plenty of them without needing a gut-buster in the Derby.

She might give them a fright, but we also saw what The Chosen One did to our Group 1 lot.... It's different gravy over there, and it was enough to break Catalyst and many more exceptional NZ types.
