Gammalite Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Nz takes victory in the First race at Menangle tonight with Livingstones horse the North Islander 'HOT and Treacherous' winning easily for GRIMSON and an easy drive for Cam Hart. Could that set the scene for the Miracle Mile for them ? easy money at $2.60 from the pole draw too. McCarthy runners 2nd and 3rd, and they got the deep South -ender of NZ horse Can'tFindaBetterMan home into 3rd place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 A 1.48.2 Miracle mile time as the Queenslanders controlled the Tempo up front. First, 3rd and 4th for the 3 Queenslanders so a BIG result for a battling harness state. Sooner the Better cuts me out of the 3 point bonus sadly, (and the Trifecta alas) but a handy 18 points for Gammalite in the Mile scored. Gamma 18, TABman 14, Galah 17, Chief 15, Blackie 12, Brodster 11, Ranga 16 scored. TOTAL Points after the 6 Group 1 Menangle races Brodie 81, Blackie 80, Gamma 79, Chief 79, TABman 73, Ranga 69, the Galah 67 pts. some great racing see's a fantastic Nz Win to Merlin and the QLD champ Leap To Fame the new Miracle Mile Champion . somehow Brodie and Blackie have headed us off 🫣 . always some upsets on the card I spose. big odds 🤣lol.. have a great week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
