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.

There is only one bonus. So, it can't be won in both those races. I doubt whether she has her first races here or in Oz next season will make a lot of difference to them that would be influenced by the stake money.

Yes they are. I'll post them when I get them. Great betting day, that's why Entain love them. Cost the industry a fortune though. Last I looked the winner was an Oz bred? I seriously doubt that the bonus will make any difference as to whether WW contests early spring races here. As I've also said, I'll wait and see if she is up to the Oz older horses.
