rubbish. according to records Blair .John . Tim Williams 

If UDR’s matter for anything, then young Carter Dalgety is right up there!

Sarah has a lot of drives and wins, however nowhere close to young Dalgety!

Nas to be the most talented Junior since Dexter Dunn without doubt!

Unbelievable UDR for someone so young

Catch A Wave , the 4 year old who won the 'Chariots of Fire' recently, for Kate Gath driving and Andy Gath training . 

Great driving Kate . you're a gem. the Natalie of Australia lol.

You found out the hard way what a bad driver mark Pitt is.he had to make a move when expensive ego did.he had to GET KRAKEN earlier race over.i backed the it but I backed the winner too as I only had three winning chances and I didn't like Honolulu bay due to race map so I backed catch a wave.great run by sprit of st Louis you must of won at least due to you declaring it a special to place well done champ now for Vincennes tonight for me

As stated by me never ever lost in front and one of only three winning chances.sprit of st Louis was a great drive to finish in its best possible position he had to hand up great drive by once and mark Pitt showed he's only average

I don't disagree with you but at the moment due to experience Sarah is better but of course in time Carter can change that.carter has the style in the cart and I hope Sarah would change her style to that as she doesn't look good in it.its done Samantha no favours.carter looks like the top drivers in the bike and drives like it.he looked good on uncle Jay at Penrith on Thursday heavily backed and won.i agree Carter is the best jnr since Dexter at this stage

The 'Spirit' of Australasia with his bucketload of kiwi and Oz owners up against the good one tonight in LEAP TO FAME,  ....  notice his victor in the Million dollar race result previous post above has drawn the 1 alley. should make it interesting. 

Bad draw for SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS tonight , might be next week he get's the big one ?

You were on the money when you predicted a while ago that Leap to fame was going to be a top horse.

Certainly won well last night although the race was set up to come from the back when the grimson trained betterzippit stopped so badly when in front. Actually cast no shadow and loyalist also dropped out for Grimson.Maybe they needed a bit more sunblock or something.

Anyway,grant dixon drove like a cool customer.Thats why hes driven over 5000 winners i suppose.I wonder how he rates leap to fame compared to previous top horses hes trained.

One of the absolute great blokes of the sport . Thoroughly deserves it . You should see his midweek efforts. He still supports Redcliffe and Albion country races with slow horses that are bred /purchased by his 3 main Millionaire owners. Does his best all week long.

I will do a Leap to Fame thread , because he is worth it . (and comment on his comparison) 

**But Must say this .... Spirit Of St Louis  the ex-pat kiwi north islanderwas brilliant too. Last down the back straight in a Group 1 Sprint and still ran great 2nd Placing last night...

scintillating late burst from him ! .  2nd in that race last year too ,Sunshine Sprint,  to Bettor Eclipse before also running 2nd in the Grand Circuit race , the Blacks A Fake last year to one of Grimson's (Majestic Cruiser) 

Hope he draws 'One' this year !! will give it to em over the 2600m ? 🙏🏆🍾
