Noodlum Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 La Rosa has blown the start badly 2 out of its last 3 starts from the mobile. Got stood down from the last one and had to trial satisfactorily. Is that good enough? Drawn 1 which can't help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could lead the Cullen runners, or trail them. Or if 'Twist' hands up to 'Dream' she does end up 3 back fence , so you could be right, and become blocked. as far as scoring up manners. yes very lucky to still be in the draw ,after those previous misdemeanours. needs a gear adjustment or 2 to keep focus probably. Hope she scores up well and gives em a run for it anyway 1 232028 La Rosa 3 f R59 1 Ft Mark Jones 2 111211 Bettor Twist 3 f R78 2 Ft Hayden Cullen 3 4X2156 Angel Of Montana 3 f R51 3 Ft Stephen Anderson 4 21151 Better's Tart 3 f R61 4 Ft Brent White 5 227X94 Manhattan 3 f MR48 5 Ft Bob Butt 6 11 Dream On Me 3 f R57 6 Ft Hayden Cullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it is more likely to cause carnage from there than being in the unruly position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If driver Sam plants her head on the gate early in score up that gives the horse something to concentrate on. There's no horses inside her to distract in the run-up to the barrier. Once moving forward is unlikely to 'Jump out of gear" and cause the carnage you say to second row. Her problem was actually going forward Early In the score-up, so 1 DRAW, gives her a chance to lead up to the barrier instead of refusing to follow and shying away from the other runners, if drawn elsewhere.

Noodlum Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I guess we will see on Friday. Should be unruly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. you get no 'chances' Oz. refuse or a poor score-up = Straight out of draw next 2 starts. Horrid place to start from too. virtually no chance. you'll see Friday Gammalite 'on the money like Brodster' and Sam will have La Rosa pinging away beautifully. Maybe they should chuck a Shadow Roll on ? like the great Noodlum wore. give her something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got stood down from the last one and had to trial satisfactorily. Is that good enough? Drawn 1 which can't help it. I get your point but what needs to change is the trail satisfactorily bit. The present rule is a joke. The trainer can take the horse to the trials/workouts where there is no pressure, perhaps only two or three starters, usually slow maidens sometimes unqualified, and jog round the track and get a clearance. Come race day often the horse again breaks. Horses should have to trial satisfactorily three or four times or be like Australia and get one chance only. If you break unruly you go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe a name change to Luna la rosa, sounds like she's all at sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlum Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Isn't the trial by La Rosa a bit of a joke? Why did the 5 horse start on the second line and the 6 horse (stablemate of La Rosa) start 4 lengths behind the front line? Hardly putting La Rosa under pressure! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was so stupid. only six in it and they have a second line ??? didn't the bloke want them to see the barrier and learn something that started behind the 1 Draw ??? why bother. Yes , that looked a La Rosa education trial Only. Don't know why he/ she didn't pull out to run past them in the straight though. pretty stupid for her education. La Rosa purchased for 100,000 . I'd be letting her rip in a trial (the run home) and gain confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite wrong , it was cantering like a thoroughbred up behind the gate the first time, and caused a False start by disrupting the second line behind the mobile. THEN GOT A SECOND CHANCE ?????? and led easily? Stopped bad in the straight though. so what do ya do with 100k horse now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrots Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Checked into see a horse galloping like a wild child. Very naughty, naughty and not very fair on the other runners. Yes needs to be sent to the unruly I vote. Edited March 26, 2021 by Karrots 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangatira Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 LA ROSA - a false start was declared when LA ROSA broke in the score up checking LIFES A BEACH. Driver S Ottley elected to remain in her barrier position for the restart. Placed on the unruly for future mobile starts. Stewards lodged a charge under Rule 869(3)(f) alleging that S Ottley drove improperly when failing to take her runner clear of the field in the score up which resulted in a false start being declared. Miss Ottley defended the charge and after viewing the films and hearing evidence from Stewards, Miss Ottley and trainer M Jones, the JCA found the charge proved and imposed a fine of $600.
