Chief Stipe Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 James McDonald might be lucky to win one today! Soft 7 track. He rides: Race 1 - Arapaho $15 best price (TAB NZ $17) Race 2 - no ride Race 3 - Ahead Start - $2.90 fav (TAB NZ $2.70) Race 4 - Fangirl - $3.45 fav - drawn 1 which won't help on a S7 (TAB NZ $3.20) Race 5 - Spiranac $7.60 (TAB NZ $7) Race 6 - Signore Fox $6.50 (TAB NZ $5.50) Race 7 - Nature Strip $3.90 loose fav (TAB NZ $3.80) Race 8 - Shared Ambition $6 (TAB NZ $5.50) Race 9 - no ride Race 10 - Suave $10 - another drawn 1 and being on the inside this late in the day won't be an advantage. (TAB NZ $9) Randwick cuts out as bad as Riccarton on a firm day. Quote

Well he might well be lucky but it looks like a tough day at the office for all today at Randwick. That track can get tricky when a Soft 7. Jason Collett might have a good day. JMac's best chance is probably Nature Strip - drawn well for the conditions and doesn't mind a wet track. But it will be tough. Quote

holy ravioli Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Brock Ryan is an apprentice worth considering imo. Seems to have that X factor. Quote

Chief Stipe Posted October 16, 2021 Author Posted October 16, 2021 From a similar draw you would hope Nature Strip gets the identical trip as Ten Bells. Quote

I have backed the winner , there is a protest 2 v1 , winner never contacted the 2nd horse but i bet it loses it , should never lose a race with no contact . if a horse wants to move away that's it's problem , 2nd rider should have kept straight then you have weight to the argument .

holy ravioli Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Nice ride by Damian Lane on Daisies...posted and used his initiative to go around and lead. Bit like races where jockeys try and restrain their mounts...I like the old Darryl Bradley method...take off before the turn. Being an armchair critic is so easy I guess. Quote

Would not be a hope of succeeding in Oz. 2 Quote
