.... 226 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Won’t be as good as Princess Coup as an older horse, she was a very very good horse and had extensive Australian G1 race performance. Cant see this filly placing in Australian Cups, Caulfield Cups etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those horses dont come around to often, this filly looks very good, but im sure she wont end up with a record that Princess Coup ended up with. Princess Coup was extremely classy and had the size and substance that held up to Australian WFA and Handicap G1 racing. I think its easy to forget how good she was!

La Zip 468 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 As my old Dad would espouse, to win a Caulfield Cup, you need to be a good, tough fast paced miler...and I have no doubt SC will mature and be a prime candidate for a Melbourne Spring Carnival plus she gets a weight advantage....Oh by the way, my Dad was a very successful bookie...a proper bookie, (not like the Petone based paper shuffling risk assessors...) in the days when a book was very much opinion & information based....

scooby3051 10,695 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 She was a class above and I tipped her earlier but I jumped off as I thought she would pull too hard over 2400M she did exactly that and still beat them fair and square a nice filly with a big future I would have thought.

Must be something about the war era (returned men) LZ, my dad would quote virtually the same thing "a horse that runs a good mile , will run you a good 2 miles" he also ran a book at the Manukau Hotel here in Onehunga. I have adapted his "weight sheets" over the years and they are the basis of my calculations still today.
