Happy Sunrise Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The way Enhance Your Calm just won, and with Winterfell and King's Landing in the barn ready for big futures, I would suggest the safe haven that was once the All-Stars free trotter's ranks are long gone, but this could make the trotting even more of a spectacle in the open ranks over the next few years. Could be the best racing in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterfell if you have followed it since it began looks to have found its mark. Our horse , and leave out the bias , has progressed further and is still on the up , and beat Winterfell easily . According to Joe, Kings Landing is the next Monbet, but he wont be remembered for his 4 yr old season , unless of course he manages to pull off a Jewels win. No doubt a blind eye to BS will help in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a chance to keep him out into the death early on and wait for them to go around which over 3200 was always going to happen . Hmmmm. Sundees Son has really hit his straps, no sign of losing his gait. Great little horse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not as though he gave the lead up to just an average horse in Marcoola. If he had sat without cover, he would have got left there, because every horse that came around, went to the lead. Be patient Rees, your turn will come. Look, if you can have no luck and go that well, it is all bodes well when the horse gets a cosy run. Cheers.

Fair comment , but he thought the two in front of him wouldn't hand up so probably thought the horse gets a cosy trip 3 back all the way .Really?, over 3200 without anyone coming around to get handy or try for the lead, dont think so.! Did the driver of Sundees Son or the others think they wouldnt hand up, if so why did they tear around for the lead. We are little if inferior as he has shown to anything in that race, so going into the second turn he had a chance to get out and breeze or have a go for the lead himself. Lacking confidence in yr horses ability to lead or breeze for a while (considering past performances)and going on hearsay from other drivers to stick to their game plan doesn't win group ones. Patience isn't one of my virtues Robert. And if anyone thinks this is sour grapes, forget it , as I got into this for sheer pleasure only. While it is great to see what a good horse he is fashioning into ,somethings rankle. Last night did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has showen his true potential by coming from seemingly hopeless positions to smoke home for placings in Group ones. It's the hopeless positions I am alluding to. We are in for a great ride with this fella, and no , the sheer pleasure is there despite my protestations .One is allowed an opinion .

Cheers Sundees sun and majestic man the two outstanding trotters in NZ now, sundees sun driven with so much confidence like he was the best horse in the race last night, if mm driven with the same confidence, who knows the result last night, but there wouldn't have been much between the two of them.

As part of the syndicate management team here is an example of why I was told years ago that the better the horse the more crap there will be from “expert” members. We pay the best there are to do the best for our horses and is why we are successful. There will be no apology from us to members for not winning everything. This trip was always about the Interdominion and next year and beyond. Neil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counter Punch Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Brad's decisions were incredibly valid at the time. You can count on less than one hand the amount of times both Marcoola and Speeding Spur have handed up when in front. Let alone both of them doing it in the same race. That skirmish around the last bend was what cost you perhaps winning. Gaps were starting to appear at that point in time but everything went pear shaped at that point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tend to agree, seems the hopeless positions are the difference between winning and losing. Lets hope you get a good draw in Jewels, MM deserves to win. Amazing how sundees sun has gone recently, always shown ability, but i didnt see it winning the last 2 races the way it did. Did gallop just past post last nite too. Thought lemond went well, parked most of way for 4th. First time that i can remember, that no standout trotter in these races, well no red hot fav anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
