Davis Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 25 minutes ago, Happy Sunrise said: Did his Kaikoura run give him the bug for breaking again? He was checked at Kaikoura. That could happen again at Addington also, either from a Lamb starting mistake (I'm being polite) or checked by another runner during running. You will need to be handy if not in front with 800-1000 out in both the Cup and Domininon. Many horses will be dropping out at the 800m, breaking, stopping... traffic problems for those behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's why they stayed away from the mile at Ashvegas and now the 1980 FFA - when he goes flat out that's when he breaks, longer races he can take his time move around sit parked and win- Monday wasn't his fault. Happy you know your shit, R12 on Tuesday how on earth has "Don't Look Back" got a start ahead of "Take After Me" and even "She's Allthe Craze" ??? Bloody Crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. Even 2 others with worse form than the 2 quoted emergencies have gained a start, Not often throughout the year lower to mid grade trotters are offered $25k prize money race, it's important the suits do their job and get the best field available from the nominations -- "Take After Me" even though erratic would be well supported on the tote for sure. Don't Look back no chance of even placing as they'll run 3:20 and will be an 80-1 shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Sunrise Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Self Assured is lucky to be drawn next to Ashley Locaz. I wouldn't be surprised to see Self Assured be given a little of extra space by its stablemate at the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather be drawn wide on front line in Cup than on the inside. He will be super keen to get the field away in one go and in one piece. I can see the inside standing for a moment and the outside ones walking in to create the appearance of an even line. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 All Stars only in 6 races next Tuesday. Including Winterfell and Riveered who are only runners chances. For me, that is good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Should I take $3.40 place for Classie Brigade or is he stuffed from that draw? You'd think at some stage will loop the field. Only 3 winning chances going by the market but surely with the RIGHT man in charge and potentially a wet cup anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 They open Krug at 3.30 drawn 2 the second line and Its All About Faith drawn 1 at 2.60. Is that not good money for Krug?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His draw doesn't totally negate his ability to settle somewhere handy 200m after the start but I would wait to see what happens to his price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fillies' race the same with Amazing Dream drawn bad also giving other fillies a chance. I think Amazing Dream will probably win too, but again the draw evens it out. Could be some place prospects at good odds in those races... just got to find them. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie, Neds have CB at $4's for the place! Has to be worth a gold coin at that price I reckon.

CB could easily be checked by Nandolo or Lamb could let the field go before CB turned around and standing straight. I can see Lamb letting them go while CB is still facing the wrong direction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead right mate. I'm worried about any race where Lamb is the starter. NZ Cup start especially so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
