LOL you aren't very good at the stats are you.  Surely you are not suggesting he has more starters than Chris Waller, Gai Waterhouse, Ciaron Maher, the Hayes Brothers...

You'd be pleased to know @Huey that so far this season Mark Walker has trained the mosr individual 2yr old winners in Australia and NZ.  

You mean to say all those expensive Aus bred 2yos are doing the trick in NZ? ...Who'd a thought!

 

How many of those wins in Aus @Chief Stipe?

What chance tomorrow? Second fav and not much to beat. Not much luck with draw but big track and gun jock. Track too firm? It’s her big chance to finally pick up a group win. As track unlikely to be soft be hoping for at least 6 bucks.

Your dead right, weakest G3 field that i can remember in Aus. Not for me thou, i am well up by not punting on her, $4 not value for a horse that would have to have everything lining up for it to win. Will back against again… maybe Chief might give his views before it races…

Why bother @Newmarket.  Your past history regarding the analysis of "value" has had abysmal results.

Perhaps you could give us a list of your "value" runners today?  I wouldn't worry about anyone punting on them and it would be to your advantage as your selections prices would lengthen!

$4.50 would have got me interested.  $5 I would have been in.

Certainly not the "worst Grp 3 race in Australia I've seen".

7 Grp winners in the race.  Bengali - Australasian Oaks winner who was beaten into second only a length by Treasure the Moment in the Grp 1 Vinery.  Machine Gun Gracie - winner of both the WA Derby and Oaks.  Philia won the Grp 2 The Roses at Doomben.  Jennilala won the Grp 3 The Matron Stakes beating Wrote to Arataki.  Too Darn Discreet won the Ethereal and the Manifold.

They dont start many in NZ do they,  you cant take those stats seriously.

I've posted my opinion but obviously your fellow retirement home mates are not helping your comprehension.  You should get out more.

Can easily get out over $5. Entains price for her is the bottom of the market at this time so we should be able to get set closer to start and only firm track can trip her up.

You just do what you always do on any subject that requires considered opinion and take a Bob each way just in case,  back yourself outright for once @Chief Stipe your idols have already won one today .

I don't worry if my opinion matters to anyone just seems weird you spend so much of your time worrying about it.

I've given my considered opinion but you fail to comprehend it.  We await with anticpation your next bitter and twisted post.

You spend most of your time sitting on the fence. Grow a set and put it out there…. no good giving me stick saying about my selections when you dont before race…. your always right after the race though, i will give you that.

You will get $5…. once the smart Aus punters do the form and realise how average it has been going, money will flood in for others.

You never post your selections.  You are as bad as @Huey and you only post when you want to slag off that the acheivers in NZ racing.  Which I gather you aren't.

Can we quote you on that?  Wow at least you are ahead of @Huey and actually comprehended what I wrote!  But describing it as sitting on the fence was pure @Newmarket bullshit.

Yes I think at $5 she is value.  The race tempo rates a bit slow though which won't helping running from the back.
