We've discussed Swayzee before. It was always a quick horse. A 2% improvement over 2 miles is 5 seconds. 1% is often the difference between being an elite performance and an also ran.

Stewards locked them up and investigated 2 years ago , with knowing something was up, but found nothing at the retention barn. so all good . might as well roll with the better shoeing and that lol. Of there was an illegal drug being used then testing would find it. I've explained that process to both you and the @the galah many times.

Chief Stipe Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 4 hours ago, Gammalite said: yeah the Grimson machine does pick up nice horses too, (like Frankie Ferocious from QLD) who was winner of 10 from 20 here and will probably win the $1,000,000 Eureka for the GRIM one in September. Frankie has a kind old QLD bloke owner so will be nice to see for him anyway. That's the key. He picks up one's he can improve and has a good strike rate. I wouldn't be surprised that like a lot of top stables he takes a scientific approach to training including using the latest treatments and customising/fine tuning feeds per horse. Expensive but it works. For example there are legal anti-inflammatory/anti-arthritic drugs that can be legally injected into knee and fetlock joints that last a year or more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Lost form" is correct the flip side of that is that when in form it is a talented horse. Grimson obviously found what was wrong. 7 hours ago, Gammalite said: runs down the Vic Cup, Miracle Mile, Interdominion winner going for 15 straight wins ??? Arguably Leap To Fame didn't match his best form. Also I think Dixon drove a soft quarter around 30 in the last lap. He would normally grind out 4 quick quarters in a row. Don't forget he also had to work hard to get to the lead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I note Swayzee got beaten last night the same way Leap To Fame did. A fast finisher sitting on the back of a grinder. Of course there'll be the conspiracy now that the stable money was on the second horse... Amazing this "magic potion" that you can turn on and off like a switch.

Amazing this "magic potion" that you can turn on and off like a switch. Maybe we should get Dr Luk Chin to drive Swayzee then Chief ? That young Jack Callaghan driving Swayzee the hot favourite at $1.18, pulled off the same result getting run down by the stable-mate. Just Like the good Dr at Cambridge. Bit more conspiracy to keep us on our toes 🤣😂 The commentator was even saying " What is happening here?" as they crossed the line last night lol. he can see something is up mate. 😅 gotta luv the trots. 😁💰👍 Edited June 22 by Gammalite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
