Ponderosa8

In the last at Te Aroha today. Drawn well and 3kgs off with Chelsea Burdan up.. Already had a nibble on FF at $71....

1st Twilight Payment 2nd Mustajeer Last Neufbosc Thanks and Happy Punting everyone..

R1 6 R2 1 R3 1 R4 7 R5 7 R6 6 R7 1 R8 2 R9 5 Thanks Trumpy and all. Interesting day. Always thought this day at Flemington was the best day of the year and has been added to with the Sydney feature.

Agree 100% with you Chris.... both should have buttoned up. But as I said if anyone has seen the movie they will know Michelle isn't scared to put the boot in verbally (re her retaining the ride on Prince of Penzance in the Cup). NB: We have never met so not sure whether that helps as to who you think I am. Cheers.

To those who've seen the movie "Ride Like a Girl"... it'll give you some insight as to why Michelle Payne got stuck in to the owners of Thought of That.

Assuming you're taking about the strapper with Melody Belle.... no idea but had wondered about that myself.

Saw the movie yesterday... absolutely loved it. Yes Family of 12 reduced to 11 following death of mom in a car accident, and then to 10 following death of one of the other girls in a fall. Didn't know this but another one of the girls married Kerryn McEvoy... Michelle Payne deserves every success because she did it tough but never gave up.... and Stevie is a hard case.

Pick 7 horses in the Race.. Winner will be the person who gets the First Four or closest too. If more than 1 person gets the First Four then decided on their next highest finishing runner and so on.

I'm going to go again in the multi

I'll have to follow too … Lys Gracieux.. By my calculations, she has to close off at $3.00 and less and loose just to avoid getting the chop from the mercy rule...yikes.! (was today the last day for this comp.?) Thanks for the comp.. sponsors and Toblerone

Didn't realise she raced at Taupo... sort of explains her opening prices for Saturday. Track for Saturday looks like being on the Soft side which she doesn't seem to mind.

Running at Ellerslie on Saturday.... against the 3yo fillies in the Soliloquy and she'd at $31 and $7 on FF. If not for her run at Hastings I would have expected her to open at about $6.

Randwick Race 7 - No 11. Arcadia Queen

Now that betting has opened on Consensus for tomorrow (cant believe her odds), I've taken the multi. However, I actually took a $1 Multi on every possible combination of Wins or Places in each of the 4 races... so spent the princely sum of $16. The maximum collect will be $14,435 if they all Win down to the smallest collect of $126 if they all run a Place. Just hope that TAS gets a run in the Cox Plate.
