Ghost Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Seen a couple of really nice winners at Randwick Anzac day The first was The Autumn Sun raced 3 wide with cover looked to be struggling at the turn before showing a great turn of foot at the 200 putting them away comfortably The other Cradle Mountain won a trial recently as it liked did a similar job Wednesday only beaten once A couple of progressive types will be interesting to watch their progress moving forward Edited April 26, 2018 by Ghost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the weight and wide draw actually makes me less likely to do that as the price will likely be higher than it would be with different factors. Those factors are not likely to affect the horses chance in my view as is my view generally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Nice run by Sir Owen better suited on a bigger track The Autumn Sun wins his group 1 at just his third start he will have a brief spell now before being aimed at the Caulfield Guineas I will be watching futures betting on Sir Owen and The Autumn Sun for the VRC Derby both look likely types can’t wait for the spring some superstars of the turf will be back including Winx going for a 4th Cox Plate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Let’s not exaggerate the facts Jasper There was a brief transmission outage when Master Coppins was interviewing Lance and the missing dialogue went something like this I expect Smart Patch to win by 5.......transmission then resumed and LA then expressed that they expected the gelding to improve further with blinkers on And NO CJW won’t be applying the blinkers to The Autumn Sun in the spring they’re reserved for the Autumn when the sun is out Edited June 22, 2018 by Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Nature Strip surrounded by daylight, as he bolted in for the Group 3 UBET Lightning Stakes (Image: Atkins Photography) Weir: None faster than Nature Strip Andrew Eddy@fastisheddy 28 July, 2018 , ( Darren Weir says Nature Strip is the fastest horse in the country, but the master trainer still managed to find some faults in the horse's blistering performance in the UBET Lightning Stakes (1050m) at Morphettville on Saturday. Nature Strip left jaws dropping around the country when he put away one of the season's premier juveniles in Sunlight when recording 33.27s for his final 600 metres of the 1050-metre Lightning in what turned out to be a one-act affair that the $1.50 favourite won by six lengths. Weir is in awe of Nature Strip's speed but he's a perfectionist and can see some improvement to come. "It wasn't overly pretty with him missing the start and over-racing a bit, but there wouldn't be a faster horse going around," Weir said from Caulfield after watching the race on Racing.com. "He got trucking up a bit getting towards the corner but then when he went around the corner and let rip, it was always going to make it hard for the others to run home down." After settling behind her, Nature Strip burned off the two-year-old star Sunlight ($2.60) on the home turn and had six lengths on that filly on the line with a further length to Fancy Rumble ($81) in third place. Weir said he had no doubts that Nature Strip's name will continue to be thrown around as an Everest contender after he firmed in the market for the race from $26 to $11 on Saturday evening despite not yet owning a spot. "Look, at the end of it all, it was a terrific run away from that and it will give some people a few things to think about," Weir said. "He's an exciting horse and once he learns to get it altogether and switch off, 1200 metres won't be any worry." Jockey Damian Lane said he felt the horse did not over-race after missing the start slightly but rather he just wanted to go another speed to his rivals. "I think he would have sat at Sunlight's girth really comfortably if she'd gone a good tempo, but she just tried to slacken off in the middle stages," Lane said. "It wasn't that he over-raced. She was just going too slow for him and he just wanted to get on with it. "He's a very good horse and I wouldn't have expected anything less of him to tell you the truth. "The best part of his races are from the 600 to the 300 where he's getting to his top and really cruises through his gears." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
