There is an obvious reason the All Stars have been paying great prices by their normal standards. 

And that is every horse they have had race so far today has shown significant improvement on their most racent performances.Punters have been assessing the form on the most recent runs.

So there is your answer to why the prices have been so good.

On what basis do you determine that the "improvement in performance" is "significant"?

Well anyone doing the form can see it.I would say about 5 lengths.Whatever all the reasons are for it,they are great trainers.

That race just run. John dunn sacrificed any chance he had of placing by running the race at near record speed in an attempt to beat the all stars.It made for an exciting race,but i thought he would have been trying to help the horse he was driving,not its stablemate.

you are sort of right with that . It was a very concerted effort by team Dalgety to beat team Cullen/Purdon. Had to try something.

Nearly got the fav beat , so nearly worked. Took 5 lengths off FRANCO INDIE compared to last time if you ask me.

Considering you made the comment before the Sires final which Mark Purdon winners before that race  "improved by 5 lengths"?  

Well obviously the second horse in the race just run. Very average 2 starts ago when a battking 4th in a 1 win race when favorite,then an ok but well beaten 3rd last.Goes down by a nose in near record time today.

Well Franco indie won after working overtime parked on a near record speed. If you think he lost 5 lengths on his previous run,like you have just said, then you must think he was a world beater on his previous run. Did you not see what time he just ran. Sounds like you are just taking the mickey if the truth be known.

They are great drivers. I dream of jeannie i backed that purdon drove. He got the best out of it.

I just pointed out that you made the comment BEFORE the Sires Final.  So what horse(s) prior to that race improved five lengths?

I never said anything about Franco Indie losing or gaining any lengths.

This was my reply to you question.the reply re franco indie was to gammalite who for some reason suggested franco indie underperformed. (not sure what race he watched)

He looked a world beater in his previous run. NO i'm 'taking the mickey'. About what ? I only have a flash broadcast on Sky Racing at the moment and CANNOT see the official times until later on the NZ web-site with the times run. 

Hey would you like to trade STORM in the next race for Mark Purdon on RIVEERED to get a shot at Richies 2 from 2 today ?? lol.....

I'm just enjoying the racing mate. Mark Wins many races on this day every year. No good getting upset about it .

You seemed cranky about the 'improvement' .lol..... perhaps I read it wrong. my fault. anyway That trotter 'Jeannie' did very well indeed. KRUG seemed to improve a few lengths today too lol. more mickey mouse? hahahaha

Sorry about STORM i selected for you. yeah had a chance getting towed up three wide last lap . But the 'DIAMONDS' ruled in that race   (race 9) and had great designs on that winner improving 8m at least today .

I guess it could be Mark Purdons driving that improves them by lengths.

His drive in the third on Sam Smolenski's horse I Dream of Jeanie improved that horse by 7 lengths.

Well as i have suggested when i said i backed it,i thought it was the winner of that race on its previous runs,so to me it ran up to its previous form,,but no denying purdon got the best out of it.

 Storm ran up to its form,finished midfield.. Didn't see what happened to the all star horse. I was on the john dunn horse that ran 4th in that one.I understand him having a crack for the lead as the ottley driven leader has been noted as a horse best driven with cover,so his aggressive tactices made sense to me there,but it wasn't to be.

No,you just confuse someone pointing out that the all satrs have improved with someone being cranky. There is no relationship between the two from my point of view.

And why do you say Krug improved?He was back in class and from a mobile. Thats why he was a very hot favorite. Not sure why you say more mickey mouse. But i think you are just joking again.Maybe you should just accept that the all stars have improved instead of deflecting from that.

I am Always been an ALLstars and a Purdon/Cullen and' Natalie driving 'fan Mr Galah . You know that . How can you improve on the best ??. Never doubted them FOR A SECOND.  you are the 'one' saying something is different today ?

I'm saying they always go well !     you can't win all the time . Gammalite only won once every 2 starts. (90 wins from 180 odd ) 

Chief and i are saying you are seeing 'something' again we can't as easily.  'SMART WATCH' for you today very suiting ?
