Gammalite Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Grimson had picked up another 'old boy ' to paddle around with. This time picking up a horse from one of the best barns going , and Immeadiately winning with it , and now says will go close to winning the NZ CUP.🙄 MAJOR MOTH only won one race last year from 8 starts , from Australia's leading barn. Emma Stewart stable in Victoria. He won quite a few as a young horse for Emma's partner Clayton Tonkin way back through 2020 season . (14 wins from 29 starts career) How Grimson can improve it (The Moth) to be better than Swayzee, is yet another of his miracles. The miracles-man could strike again 🤔. MAJOR MOTH is 8-1 for the Nz Cup, with the defending Champion Swayzee 9-1 at the moment. Leap To Fame $1.50 fav on Aus market. been backed already. Watch out for MAJOR MOTH in Cup week. Grimson is 'Revving ' him up here in Brisbane. won his 2 starts so far tonight/last week . Tonight he beat average lot but won while still 'Pulling Hard' while running a 53.5 second last half mile , which was very strange to see 😳. was quite a performance . Better take him as a NZ Cup 'cover' I think 💰 , in case Larry (Leap To Fame) gallops away there in November Cup week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes much better value in the Victoria Cup on Oct 12th . his main assignment . at $1.80.💰 Leap To Fame did get beat a head in it last year though by Act Now. (since retired) so there's always a chance of getting beat I spose. Current Victoria Cup odds .Leap To Fame $1.80 , and won 15 of last 16 starts, go close 🤣 Catch A Wave (who won the Fremantle Cup and Nullibor Slot races in April to pick up near $700k for the Gaths. (Gotta love the slot races to get some decent winnings 💰👍) Catch a Wave 5-1. and the Grim-reaper Mr Grimson with his Two runners of Swayzee 7-1 (current NZ Cup champion) and the 'New' Old kid on the block Major Moth 7-1 . A 'major chance' in that too don't worry with a bit of that amazing Grimson Spit and Polish 😁. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Major Moth back at Menangle tonight , and seemed to win comfortably enough. 2nd place tonight went to the $2million Eureka Slot races favourite in NEVER ENDING. over from west Aus with GaryHall jnr and came from last for a very good closing 2nd to the Moth. Eureka in 2 weeks time. Swayzee withdrawn from the NZ Cup as has NSW races on the agenda avoiding LEAP TO FAME on his mission to Win the NZ Cup this year. No runners for Luke McCarthy tonight, who I believe is being wooed to the USA by his brothers , who have become millionaires over there. Andy and Todd in the top echelon along with your NZ boy Dexter. Luke fairly quiet since winning the miracle Mile 3 times with 'KING of SWING'. wife Belinda concentrating on the breeding and stallions at Cobbity farm rather than the racing. Luke's dad John currently disqualified with a positive , so unable to take on the runners. Wonder what happened to the Farrier ? kiwi-man Craig Cross? he had the training licence for a while. even had Group 1 wins lol. 😆. Luke could make a fortune in the states 💰. seems better than paddling around Brisbane like he did all Winter. Was the countries best here at one stage. the 3 McCarthy boys would really set up to be near best in the world Togeather , and getting imports from NZ and Aus would promote our breeding industries too. John Dunn would go well state-side as well?. wonder his brother DD hasn't talked him in to it?. while he's not on the training ticket in NZ. would get bucketloads of money and much less Sand and that cold beach wind in his face lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will miss Luke in Australia if he stays with his brothers state-side. Todd and Andy doing a big job. I'm sure John Dunn could rival Dexter too. Maybe young Carter then Brodster ?? He's gone there for a look just now recent weeks. He'll be tempted with the BIG dollars there . hope he does make the shift for his sake? , and yeah Not ours. as is great to see him in action in NZ.
