Vinnie Colgan on now, never ridden Loire before which has to be a slight concern given McNabs affinity with the horse. Best of luck -
Looked to me like Vandyke was just a little unsure if Aliblood had peaked on Racing.Com interview ? See what Damian Lane says tomorrow after Catalysts work Trump ,but writing is on the wall by the look

Harlech ran only fractionally slower in that race after getting hampered Hokesy then went out and got outsprinted by Travelling light. Track was more conducive that day and i remember seeing a sub 32 at Riccarton around that time. Time and place

Forget the times in NZ Ohokason. The Telegraph winners always run extraordinary times but can’t blow smoke up anyones arse anywhere else in the world. Times mean nothing in the heat of battle. If Catalyst was the “Superstar “ a lot of you are espousing, then why couldn’t he run down Alligator Blood after The Gator did it from end to end last start? -
I’m a believer he’s best ridden quiet. If he leads he will lose.

Mmmm...Catalyst ran his last 600 in 32.19 when he easily won the Group 1 in NZ. Super Seth only had to go 35.22 to beat AB. Still keen Trumpy....? -
why on earth would Catalyst be 'blocked in' from the inside draw? He has the speed to lead if desired. -

Good to see the Metrop winner back in NZ and nominated for Wingatui. -

And two of those seven nominated for two races, so possibly only five starters. Of course I'm sure some other trainers who had no intention of starting will see such a pathetic field and decide they might as well line up. It does show that the stake has only a minimal effect on the size and quality of the field. Imagine what a $50,000 rating 65 1,400m would attract in the South. -

Just noticed this on the Love Racing website. "Michael McNab | Not riding until further notice" So he misses the ride on Loire in the Lowland Stakes at Hastings tomorrow. -

They'd be spewing that they went all in the place and it gets up to win! -

Who said I didn't agree with your assessment? I didn't, I haven't even bothered to watch the race I said you are a tosser because of the manner in which you made your point. It was unneccessary as you had already stated your oipinion A posting like yours is just nasty, that's why I think you are a tosser -
Nelli Why did we need a new Ratings system then? The old Class system would have been better As an example "For horses that have either (a) won less than 5 races in their lifetime and have not won a race since April 1st, 2019 or (b) won less than 9 races in their lifetime and have not won a race since December 1st, 2018" The permutations were endless I hear what others are saying about Bordeaux but wait until he drops way down then destroys a field, the other starters will then complain. Reminds me of a good grey trotter called In Shot, used to run down the track in Open Class races, Handicapper lets her up 10m or 20m at Nelson, and she waltzs in. Got so repetitive the conditions had to be rewritten with a maximum Class of C5 or C6 by memory as all the other Trainers were going to refuse to start their horses Mikie

If Catalyst draws the inside he’ll be blocked in. I’d like to see him mid field. AB is a very special horse and he will be hard to run down. If they’re talking Cox Plates over 2040m, the 1600m at FLEMINGTON will be a breeze. The opposition are lucky the race is not at Caulfield - the most bias race track in Melbourne - if not Oz! A front runners paradise. The good thing about The Gator is that if necessary, he can sit back in 5th or 6th spot. Watch his GC MM win.

Too true. No good at all for horses that keep running top races for 4ths and 5ths under hcp conditions. And purposely running down the track can teach some horses not to try, as well as confirming some critics views that harness racing is full of cheats. I'm not totally against the rating system - just think race programmers could make better use of conditions, eg horses earning less than $xxx in last 5 starts get let up 10m. -
Your quite correct to a certain extent , they are jumpers . True Self probably best of them this season . About three ex UK jumpers going this weekend in OZ , two multiple metro winners in OZ after low grade UK jumps runs . -
sorry, but all this hyped-up nonsense about the Draw (insIde or outside AB) is CRAP. If Catalyst is good enough, he'll win. End of story.. Especially in a field of 7 or 8. They race at set weights, both have to handle the same conditions - if it's wet an outside draw might help the horse with the wider draw, and vice versa. HOW WELL they jump is a different matter. Dunn and the horse! wont want to be half-asleep at the get-go. But it's 1600m, not 1400m...and I have a feeling Catalyst will outlast AB, whatever the outcome of the first 200m. Exciting times!

Owners telling me tonight the partnership is over. If so it did not last long Greg
