Ohokaman 5,844 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Waller said during the week the distance would not suit, but was "one to follow"..... They bought the horse outright so obviously think he has talent, and will no doubt aim at better targets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryb 2,064 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Looks like plenty of others missed that comment Ohoka, as that is one serious move for a Metro Saturday. The bookies will have filled their bags on that result. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryb 2,064 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Thats very harsh mate, obviously plenty of Aussies got fooled as well. Including Weller if you follow your logic. The horse has plenty of upside, just not today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdytdy 5,343 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 I am surprised that anyone would be bagging him for an unplaced run over 1350m in Sydney. The horse is not a sprinter so to finish three lengths off the winner is not a bad run in my view. Wait until he gets up over 1600m and further and then judge.

Ohokaman 5,844 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Great quote by winning jockey..... Race 9 – Benchmark 89 Handicap (1350m) Place Horse Jockey Comment 1st PEACOCK Glyn Schofield Every now and then a blind squirrel finds an acorn. It’s not my quote but I’m stealing it. 2nd TRIBAL WISDOM Brenton Avdulla He ran terrific. The winner was just off and gone. 3rd UP 'N' ROLLING Blake Shinn Good run. 4th LEVEL EIGHT Andrew Adkins Would have liked a bit of cover but he still hit the line well. 5th MOST EXALTED Adam Hyeronimus Got spat out the back early and that probably cost him finishing a couple of lengths closer. 6th ETYMOLOGY Tye Angland Just a bit too sharp for him over that trip second-up. 7th EAGLE BAY Kerrin McEvoy He just wants further. 8th LOVANI Christian Reith She ran well. Probably wants a bit of jar out of the track. If I had it again I probably lead. 9th INVINCIBLE KNIGHT Craig Williams He would appreciate more give in the track. First-up, wide barrier, he gets a pass. 10th JAMINZAH Stephen Baster He ran ok. He wants a bit further. 11th WAYANKA Jason Collett Needed the run. 12th GENERALISSIMO Tim Clark He didn’t finish off today.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted March 17, 2018 Watching or listening to interviews done by ANDREW BENSLEY are a "must" if you are having a bet. You get so much info from the Trainers re their horses chances. Eagle Bay is one for a little later over a little longer and I thought he ran up to Waller's expectations "on the day".

Sydney is the big betting arena. Some organise are betting up to $1m a day on the punt. Some guy on Sat put $15,000 each way at $17/1 on Seabrook to win the Slipper! He's got to get past Sunlight and Written By or at least get 3rd - which would return him about $60k to double his money ! Several big bets on EB would cause the bookies to wind right in. But think of it this way. A number of big bets to get EB wound in and the "real target" eased out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris was bullish about Comin Through too. Threw a bit of a curve ball re Unforgotten in his preview saying it wouldn't run. I was surprised therefore to see it still in the field so followed the lead.....of course, he is part owner..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent oodles of time there . Spent a lot of time at Kerry Jordan's stables. So yes I've been there. Waller loves he place.
