Bit Of A Yarn

My wife insisted i watch tonights show as it was about mark purdon.

She really has enjoyed watching guerin's recent interviews so i thought why not and sure enough  it was very interesting. Greg o'connor was also very good when he did some interviews like that in the past.

I also watched the box seat. The 4 presenters,cross,guerin,o'connor and graham all are very good at what they do and i think when it comes to coverage of the races we are fortunate to have people of that calibre doing the raceday coverage and commentaries.

i like the way o'connor and graham have been doing the runner by runner comments in recent times. I think giving recognition to each runner is important myself and a very positive move.

I wonder whether they will have graham doing any pre race interviews with the drivers as they circle just before race start time. The aussies do that well.

I hope the weather is ok. It looks like it may be,although that wind can be a pain if it picks up.

persoanlly i don't really have any picks for tomorrow. 11 of the 13 races seem to have reasonably hot favorites.

i see guerin seems to think arcee pheonix should win the domnion for australia. That will be an interesting race.Lots of chances in that race. I had liked mr love a bit,but his wide draw puts me off a bit as he may get a bit far back from there.

i suppose leap to fame wins. They say republican party will try and keep the lead if he gets there ahead of leaop to fame.. I don't know,i wouldn't be doing that myself.If leap to fames at his best he wins whether republican party is in front or not. If hes not then republican party could run past him from the trail anyway. Having said that,i personally think republican party has been winning its races here oky because they have allowed dalgety to dictate. that won't happen tomorrow.I think his recent form is being over rated a bit. Still he is a wondrful horse and nz's best chance.Kingman i think is the main danger to leap to fame,but it does seem odd to give a horse with so little standing satrt experience its first stand in the cup. But drawing near the outside i think could play into its fabour and i think it will pay around $2.80-$3 a place so that seems reasonable. Who knows
