Looking at some stats,56winners,last season was 2005,I love looking at history but I can't think of that horse though, Would I be correct that Paul Kerr was there when he had Cadillac Jack?

What were the other trainers doing previously has the stipes checked the freeze brand? I think that Amber Hoffman is a reasonable trainer mate. She has a fair-sized team racing and wins from time to time. I think she would improve a horse like Spitfire. I would like to see her with better stock because I think she could make her mark as a trainer. I guess that will come if she keeps on producing the winners? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's well and truly paid its way and more just like the spitfire would in her stable.dont forget she took a maiden basically to open class Ellers image or something.she could get the spitfire to finally fire.if I was collecting money from posting the odds I would make the spitfire fav for sure and do what the Aussie bookies do make up bets and say people have put 10k 8k etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 1600 dollar tote pool,I just wonder if people are backing this horse because of his cult following,why don't the TAB have a bet on him not running a place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrots Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Spitty wears like mask now, & ear-plugs locked in. Maybe the trick needed to stop him from breaking. With mask/plugs he would be an each way chance wouldn’t he? Not ideal at those odds tho actually betting, but for new connections each way chance to get a place or a win stake money for them.

So no surprise to see it favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I can see their faces,I'm sure I will get it by the end of the day. I actually had a bit to do with them as they transferred a couple of horses to the stable i worked at.

the galah Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Noel creighton and andrew faulks were good trainers there. I remember paul kerr training there.He had some nice horses. I remember backing one in a maiden trot of 16 horses at wyndham one day. It broke at the start,settled last,but apart from the leader,for some unknown reason the whole field raced 1 off the fence and it gradually went from last to the trail ,then pulled off the trail at the 400m and won. I also remember being at forbury one night when he had one break a hopple,but it kept pacing and he carried on and won easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
