Gammalite Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 About to go lads . the 2024 edition. An Aussie Trifecta ? who's going Nat from Greg and Adam (just Gamma ?😁) Merlin owned by the Big Aussie man. maybe claim him too for the First 4 . Race should be traditional and just for 4 year olds afterall. Merlin and DSD and the ' Jolie 'one are the 4 year olds . So it would be justice if they ran the Trifecta 💰💰💰🏆.

Gammalite Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Crystal does the job. A perfect drive from the young lady for another Group 1. Better Eclipse and Self Assured towed up by Crystal but she fought them off. Great job Mach Shard 🏆. paid over $20 on the 3 Aussie totes. Wonder if get more respect in the Auckland Cup now ? as for Nat, she was death DSD seating from the 2nd row 😎. young Crystal getting the job done better than the old girl these days ? 👍😆😉 Funny how not many wait for Mark to take off anymore with backmarkers. He's running 2nd a lot of times lately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Believe in Cruise control. I can't believe he treated the defending National trot champion (2nd) and Dominion winner (3rd) with ease really. quite astounding the level that horse is at now. No wonder he's won the last 2 Interdominion series (with clean sweeps) when can sit outside muscle Mountain like that. 49 minutes ago, the galah said: Hard to believe mach shard He's got a spring in the step now. Maybe a solid Auckland Cup chance ? The Queenslander got lost again. Adam Sanderson a pretty ordinary driver here in QLD. probably only about 20th ranked in my opinion in Queensland , let alone nationally. Where-as Greg Sugars is probably 2nd best driver in the whole nation (after Cam Hart) and is getting good results year to year with Just Believe and Better Eclipse. old NNNzzer 'Triple Eight' had a big career in NZ before joining him. He tries hard and is a bit like Mach Shard really. just needs the right tempo and late work into it.. Greg has won 3 out of 11 starts with Triple Eight this year for $60k so not too bad. Better Eclipse only has the one win this year for $60k from 5 starts himself. he did get about $100k 2nd to Leap To Fame in the Interdom in Dec so not too shabby. It's super tough in that FFA grade anytime . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's running 2nd a lot of times lately. Always easy to be wise after the event Gammalite but that was a great price for Mach Shard. His form was there for us all to see but still paid north of $20 despite coming from behind all the same horses last week and beating them. Better Eclipse briefly looked likely but Mach Shard was handled to perfection. ....again Nat has many times been able to drive the best and fittest horse in races in a manner that would result in most horses holding up the white flag before the turn. ....yet still dominate them. Not so last night. Seemed a massive ask last night for a horse that has been up for a long time and run many huge races on both sides of the Tasman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
