Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted October 10, 2017 Is Newmarket, an avid fan of Ozzie racing,alone in thinking this weeks clash is nothing but total stupidity. 4 Grp1's in Melbourne versus the 10 mio Everest in Sydney. The latter would surely have drawn the same field for way less money and has no overseas reps. Melbourne on the other hand has any number of imports running as their carnival springs into life.Sure the usual mercenaries eg ( Williams) will head to Sydney but what else will the Sydney meeting provide compared to the Victorian offering. gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trump 2,741 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 Totally different Newmarket. The Everest has dominated the Australian Newspapers and it's probably the best credentialed Sprint race (for the quality of the participants) that's been assembled for many many years. All the focus this Sat will be on The Everest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartoomuch 1,376 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 Your on drugs if you believe that its the best credentialed sprint in Oz. Nothing but a glorified sweepstake. Victorian papers say your not right but each to their own and my bets will be ,for a change centred on Caulfield where they have some of the best fields assembled for many a year.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted October 11, 2017 I wasn't referring to the betting boys! Tell me who's missing ? Since when have you had such a lineup of G1 Sprinters? The MM winner, Golden Slipper winner, Redzel, the big Grey modern day Bernborough, Redkirk the Newmarket winner etc. You're on drugs or in denial if you can't admit that this is a hot sprint field. Yes, it's a buy-in but I can tell you it's going to rate. I'm not a fan of sweepstakes fields but this is one helluva field and I hope that Houtzen wins ! But I suspect the winner may come from either Chataqua, She Will Reign or Redzel. Then there's the Hayes trio!! Bring it on!
