Freda Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Be interesting to see how a stressy Guillotine copes with Hong Kong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Should put a couple of lengths on this field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 You clearly don’t know HK Racing well...that is a decent class 2 field there with a few derby hopes in it. New imports to HK do not win in class 2 first up often...I’d be watching the HK preview show later when it’s online to see what they think of him and his trials. Rating of 88 first up will be tough to win off...and all his form on heavy/slow/yielding tracks, wont get many of those up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate it re: Montaigne looking like a champion, now coming back down to earth. Probably a better field than I first thought, but Helena Baby has some toe.

SLB2.0 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 You take all things Leo says will a grain of salt. Such things as Helena Baby is a mid-winter hack and, here at HQ, we serve quality food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB2.0 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Oh wow, that is a little surprising. Might pay to just watch this one and see how it goes. Should have improvement to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have improvement to come. Thanks for the heads up on HB starting tonight. I would have missed it otherwise. For me, I would be keen to throw a few gold coins on HB eachway. The thing is, you don't need to put too much on when they are paying a lot. The other thing too, how gutted would you be if HB wins and you have nothing on it. Be a long time before it pays 50-1 again too. Don't ever let anyone put you off a horse you like. Back your own judgement. For what it's worth I say get on and go you good thing go! At those odds, definitely worth a throw at the stumps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Bring him home. Water tastes better and there's plenty of green grass in NZ. He'd be much better off. Horrible place where he is. No wonder it's called Shat In. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
