Mark back in the Bike (and will Star)

[Gammalite]

Not sure why they can't program the Good meeting tonight for a Saturday Night ?.

(a lot of Punters only active on Saturdays you would think) and would of been way better than a meaningless Thursday.

BUT it is what they do , and Mark will be Winning with his Fabulous horse OSCAR Bonavena tonight at Cambridge in the Group trot R6. nothing to beat at all tonight.

And he will be the Star of the Southern Hemisphere come February 1st , when he wins 'The Great Southern Star' at Melton for Mark to show his SuperSTAR quality.

Mark also in the bike for 'Don't Stop Dreaming' tonight in the Flying stakes. Favourite as well. Against the Super Auckland Cup winner 'Republican Party.'

Does anyone hope Local lass Arna Donnelly can Upset these big guns with ''Kango''' and'' Little Spike'' doing a bit of Team stuff to knock em' off ? 🤣😂 wouldn't it be great.

DSD and RP getting set for Hunter Cup February 1st as well. racing against the BASH Brother's of 'Swayzee' and 'Leap To Fame' at Melton.

They'll ALL get rolled too, by the NEW Kid on the block. The Eureka and current Interdominion Winner Champion DON HUGO. go you good thing. 

there you go Chief  , Get on the early double for Feb 1st. Oscar B at 5-1 into Don Hugo 4-1  = 20-1 .   happy punting !!💰😁🏆

Got me excited for a moment there Gamma.

I thought you meant Son of Skid.

Mind you Elmer not too shabby.

oscar bonevena stud fee was $2500.

seemed very reasonable for such a wonderful racehorse.

I wonder how many mares he got this season.

The wife even thinks she might breed a mare to him later this year.

Have we seen a trotter with his speed before in nz?

Wow  , it's hard to believe that beautiful horses Don't Stop Dreaming 2nd again.

He has a great lot of 2nds past year. Had a One length start on Republican Party for the Sprint up the home straight just now at Cambridge too.

Republican Party looked Magnificent , stretching right out to beat the best in the land. And is now himself probably the Best in the Land ? well done young Carter Dalgety.

With Oscar winning by 5 lengths he looks a special February 1st at Melton.

But have to throw in Republican Party now on that fine effort. 

So Chiefy mate get the 10er out and plonk the Great Southern Star with Oscar 5-1 into Republican Party 11-1 in the Hunter Cup Feb1  and pick yourself up a great chance of over 5 Hundy .  💰💰  Go the kiwi's !!

I'll buy a share lol. Oscar B is terrific. 

Lyell Creek won all his starts in Oz I think but was only going about 1.58  in the early 2000's. so pretty slow . lol. 

Scotch Tar raced 'out of control' half the time and led up the Pacers NZ FFA in 1.55 I think once lol. (finished unplaced though) but could go like a scorched cat for speed.  Sir Castleton could sit and sprint. 

I Can doosit could sprint 1.55.5 . only 4th in the Cambridge mile to STIG though in 1.55 . what about Stent? or Speeding Spur ? would they would be on a par with Oscar B for outright Speed?
