I did read that the trainer did say that Tiger Tara was coming over.Could be running in either the Flying Stakes or the Kaikoura Cup,or maybe both before tackling the big one.

I don't think i can recall him moving on both of his horses today.No doubt John has driven a lot of winners and some nice horses in his time.But maybe it's time to put an outside driver on?.

With Blair back driving at the trials it's probably a sign that he may not be far away from race day driving.So he'd still be the fave to win it.The Turtle is driving well and I agree in regards to Sam...has the talent too win it if she wants it.

Did a horse slip in the 2nd?.I must admit i didn't even see anything slip in the first.Guessing the rain they got last night probably hasn't helped.
