I'm guessing that this has replaced the popular Hot Holiday Jocks comp which ran from Boxing Day to around the 2nd or 3rd of Jan. Used to love backing a couple of jockeys,and hoping one of them got the most winners. But for some unknown reason it wasn't an option,am guessing they replaced it with this promotion instead?.

Hadn't heard him call in ages,so i did wonder if he suffered the same fate as Davey Mac,but possibly not. Good to hear him the other day tho,not the worst out there.

Fuck what a moaning sack of shit you are. If you can't handle the punt then don't do it. Have never ever seen you post anything good on here.You must be a 'joy' to be around,fucking muppet.

Have the best of both worlds at the moment.Cricket on TV and the horses on the laptop. Taking advantage of both child and partner sleeping.

I have no idea what people's issue is with people watching the cricket on Spark.You just have to go thru the Spark Sport facebook page too see people going off their head with complaints. I personally have had no issues whatsoever when i've been watching so as i said,no idea why so many people are having issues.

Ah ok,will be good to see him back,one of my faves. Hope his weight is good as well.

Ok thanks for that. It was his collarbone wasn't it?.

Anyone know how Jason is progressing in his recovery from the injury he got in mid October?.

Before my time,but one hell of a horse,remember my old man telling me about him.Think he raced freelegged. And an interesting stat...there is a street in Blenheim,not far from where i live actually called Robalan Place.

I did see a few races from there,and it possibly looked like him in the car,but i could definitely be wrong.

I haven't seen anything to say that it is.If it was going to be on free to air you'd think it would be Tv1,but doesn't look like it.

After the Flying Stakes,where i backed Copy That,mainly because i wasn't keen on anything else. I was impressed with his winning effort,seemed to do it really well and didn't look to take anything out of himself.So i thought yes Copy That will be my pick for the race,and then i saw that he came up with the pole,which had me rethinking a little bit.First of all,he's going to be the first horse to line up and if they stuff around,then he will be standing for a while,yes his manners look good,but that can all change on Cup Day.And then their is the chance that he could bobble away from the pole and end up buried,which won't help him.And outside of the All Stars the only other runner i'd look at backing was Classie Brigade,but he's drawn not well for him,so after all that i will stick with Copy That,and just hope that it all goes his way and if it does then he's a big chance of stopping the blue army's domination on the race. And on a personal note,if my newborn son needs a nappy change around start time,as much as i love him,that nappy will have to wait.

Probably will be. But no doubt Michael House will send a truck load up of new horses to his stable.

Guess they will be hoping for a shit load of horses from Canterbury to help them out.

I'm a fan of Humidor,so i will plonk for him, But the draw does him no favours as he will have no option but too go back,and then hope for a lot of luck,but stranger things have happened. And for some reason am warming a little too Probabeel,i saw her gallop the other morning,and she looked to stride out nicely. Drawn nice so is not without a decent chance in my opinion. Am sure it will be a cracker of a race again.

He definitely seems to be driving well in the last few months,and i'd love to see him push Blair this season,even tho Blair seems to be edging away at the moment.I certainly have no probs backing Tim,sounds like Forbury has had some bad losses and can't handle them,or needs to just put down the crack pipe and gain some perspective.

She's an absolute honey. Been a fan of her's from day 1 and have followed her ever since. Was a tough win and she fought once challenged but showed how tough she is.Noticed a couple of times during the run that she threw her head around,but Mark Zahra managed to get her relaxed after that,and once she got into the 3-4 wide train down the side she travelled nice.Definitely can't wait to see her in the Melbourne Cup,and speaking of that race i thought a nice dress rehearsal from Prince Of Arran who ran on very well from near last for 4th.

I think with The Banker it's probably not the best arguement too use. I've backed this horse a few times,even before the rules came in and he looks like a horse that can't really be touched with the whip.Even when he deadheated he was hardly touched.The days of them giving them a decent crack are done,as the arm can't go that far back now.It's definitely strange to see,but it's how it is now and i guess the drivers are still figuring out how 'far' they can go.

Jockey ranks starting to get a bit thin..got a few out suspended/injured and now 3 that are out until further notice,tho one of them isn't returning. Yip maybe Chris failed another test??..who the F knows.

Sounds like Chris is now out until further notice as well,can't ride trials etc. According to those on facebook,the powers that be want him to undergo alcohol rehab/counselling but he doesn't want too.So that's another rubbed out until who knows how long for.

Hopefully you went against your own advice with Buckskin and put a little bit on his nose too,well done.

Yes yes Micky,been keen on it all week.But after reading that article i was REALLY keen.Given a peach of a ride and she showed a good turn off hoof once in the clear and she proved Micky's confidence and bolted in.Will it get him more rides in the carnival? who the hell knows,but hopefully he has a good one.

Loving the honesty and confidence Micky. Hopefully he can have a good spring carnival,with whatever opportunities he can get.

Probably just an off night for him,and on what he's done in his first 2 starts/wins i'd wait before i wrote him off. And yea it wouldn't surprise me if at some stage he ended up with Ants(Butt) as he is the main trainer for his owner.

I haven't read the stipe reports from last night.But i wonder if any driver 'forgot' about the new rules,and gave one a decent whack?. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
