Happy I was just gunna start a thread for forbury,race 4 Four Starz Shirazz is paying 31 at present and it's a poor field,any takers?

Dennis the menace is driving so that adds to the intrigue. 

That Who's Smokin in race 7,must go close.

Not gunna tip the Spitfire,might just need the run lol just getting around forbury this time will be an accomplishment. 

With Robyn's playboy in the main race it's a surprise U May Collect hasn't shown,wonder if he will show again.

I have just been trying to find the follow up on this below but it would seem it was 'dropped' as there nothing related to the race date in question on the JCA site.

If he settles handy the odds are pretty good.

You correct, there gas been nothing from the JCA regarding mr O’Connells shocking drive.

Why is there such a thing as an Advanced Amateur anyway.

You are either an Amateur or not and nothing personal but he should be limited to Amateur races!

Queen of Stratfield is paying 1.60ff for the place at FORBURY! Harrison is a horse with promise despite the draw at 4ff after coming in a touch.

Ashburton odds are up so a pick n mix of Forbury and Ashburton is possible if you want.

The Queen must win today Happy?

You would think so but there are some horses who can trot a decent race in it too. A few off the front who might get the run of the run. 

It is her first time not on the front row and is starting 3 on the second line behind Prince Ranier whose manners have improved with the change of driver but Telfer back on today instead of either John Dunn or Tim Williams. That may be a concern.

It is very odd to say it is adjourned but it is nearly 2 months later. Nothing in the supplementary notes.

Today might be the day they have the hearing since he is driving but that doesn't make much sense. Has he had a drive since Pete's Dash?

Why is he driving Four Starzz Shirazz today? Is he going out with a bang today as he thinks it is last drive for awhile! Go straight to the front, 1.55MR, 25 hits with the whip inside the last 100m, wrist action pronounced on all of them and a 2 fingered salute to the stand and then he throws his whip onto the track. 

Will make the news. All publicity is good isn't it?😂

Nah I reckon he will be itching to drive Alexy when he hits the triple ton,maybe even the 400th but a lot of water to go under the bridge till then.

I'd gladly back a loser in this race if Dennis went out in this fashion..... and when the following $1000 fine comes the old buggar just refuses to pay it.

On a serious note Dennis must know he's a crap driver and just likes to get out there which I have no problem with but why out of his three horses does he drive the one with the most ability and fastest, surely he should be on Alexy and Jess on FSS.

Maybe he doesn't read these threads.

Perhaps they have decided not to continue a Cup campaign? The horse is well down in the rankings and would have to win at least one race before the Cup to get a start. I don't think he is going well enough to win a race. I think they would be better to concentrate on a race like the Junior FFA on Cup day, that would suit him better?

Either that or just race the country cups at home over summer which ain't the end of the world anyway,Robyn's Playboy is probably at his level doing the same.

Alexy is a funny horse,I've seen some drivers who can get the best out of him,driven right today he could surprise again,pretty average fields to be honest but par for the course for a southern race meet these days,on another note I see Davy Mac back calling the trials so he ain't given up completely as yet,must be hard being demoted like that though,I dont have anything against Justin Evan's but he should have waited his turn to call the Southern meetings.

Now this is a prime example of how the TAB make a killing.....so tempting for a punter to have a large place or multi bets with this horse anchored but not every horse can back up racing after 3 days and a 400km road trip.

 

Really liked the run of "Fast Whispering"
