Doomed Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 What a great field for the Nuggets. Every runner would have to be rated some sort of chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to split them and most in or close to their best form. Possibly the best open class race in the SI this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only about 4 of the runners in the open stayers race at Tauranga would get a start in the Nuggets if they headed south. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely an Open Handicap. Sure Tauranga isn't much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Tauranga isn't much better. It is more the evenness and form in the Nuggets that makes it a good race. Also interestingly, as it stands, the minimum rating to get a start in the Nuggets is 73. Compare that to the Wgtn Cup next week where there will be no ballots and a maiden could have started if they wanted to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
