curious

I thought so too though didn't watch much live. Looked like a few at buyable prices too.

Looks like 75%+ again today which seems ok, though thought overall might have been a bit stronger.

Solid enough. You have to remember though that there were ~12% less horses catalogued and sold, so, effectively the top 90% cf. last year. That should help book 2 as well. Not quite an apples to apples comparison however, despite the spin.

TABCORP SuperTAB.

Has to be a lay at that price at this point?

Maybe in the spring. Doubt they'll go beyond a mile for now. The Doncaster makes much more sense though taking on the older horses in a handicap? $4m cf the Vinery at a questionable distance for 500k. No brainer?

17.5%

Yep. The day has to have a G1.

I have an average about 50% across books 1 and 2 the last couple of years.

Yes. I was agreeing with you!

Why would he have to set up in Oz to race one horse there?

Allowing for the fact that 3yos are still improving at this stage, do you think anything in that field would have challenged Tuxedo and Hinekaha?

That would be my bet too.
