Gammalite Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Couple of Big races coming up soon . $150,000 for the Fillies R6 at Alexandra Park and $200,000 up for grabs in the Colts just after in R7. There's going to be a bit of 'Riding Shotgun' with Scott Phelan involved with a few stable-mates. With 6 Phelan/B Purdon trained runners involved. Can't wait to see what he does.😄😎 Hope he watched Race 4 tonight closely , where the 'Mark Purdon /Natalie Rasmussen combo' worked their magic ,just like the good old days . Great Shotgun work there by Nat , to get the Phelan runner beaten . Duchess Megzit with no stable-mate to help a little in that one . Will be fantastic to see how Scott handles the 2 Harness Million Races soon !!! Mark and Nat could possibly Still run Quinella in the Boys division , being the Ultimate Masters in this sort of scenario...... even with Scott and BarryP running 4 horses in it . How good will the team-work be? will Mark and Nat use their 3rd number in Vessem (Blair) to 'cart them up' ?....Hope so . going to be some great tactics involved in that feature race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Was 2 very good races. The leaders getting a cheap sectional in both the races after using gate speed to lead. but still had to cling on late. (a nose margin in both races) Phelan nearly got there with KISS , so kudos to him . would of tried to make the favourite work harder to get the lead early but White was too quick with the winner. In the boys Phelan drove well too and gave his horse every chance. (and got 3rd) so i am wrong and he drove both to win . rather than look out for stable-mates. although Always B Elite was a bit of a sacrificial Lamb to try and help Cold Chisels chances from behind the leader. And Mark didn't follow Vessem up ?? that was strange . Maybe we'll follow Major Hot in future efforts. Great fields of horses ! those 2 races. Plenty of big wins in store for a few of those . Derbies and Oaks are on the menu ? 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile in the same race Crystal Hackett was gifted the fence run behind Cold Chisel which was the best spot in the race but chose to sit parked and was then unlucky. Cost the owners 10K in prize money doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
