Re  Nature Strip
He's won 10 million pounds … the USA horse has won a million
NS is a poor breather and that’s exacerbated early in his campaigns, he’s inclined to pull a bit when fresh, or in slow tempo races, and when he pulls he doesn’t breathe as well, hence he doesn’t quicken off the bridle …..neither of those scenarios apply here 
He’s not a wet tracker either, but he does have a very powerful action that means he can plough through wet loose tracks better than most, and being heavy chested a wee bit of give in the ground helps because he’s not hitting the ground quite as hard 
Ascot is ideal for him with the grass cut longer than he’s used to 
He should get a fast pace so he won’t pull 
He’ll love the uphill finish with his big powerful action 
I’m told he’s travelled a treat and he actually put 2kg on during his flight 
I saw a video of him doing a wee bit of work at Ascot the other day, he looked pretty chilled 
I’m seeing him sitting about fifth with a wee bit of cover from that draw, J Mac will show him a bit of real estate about 400 out, he’ll slide into it on the bridle then just ease away and win by four, on the bridle …J Mac won’t even rotate the stick 
If he’s at his best, and all indications suggest he is, he’s lengths better than this lot, most of whom are, to be frank, just third level mugs

In fairness I think most AWT effective horses have more of a winter / wet type of action ….so the AWTs will probably be the default winter racing surface 

You’re full of shXt PS
None of the Inca charges went to trial, NONE, they were all ruled by Judge Neave to lack substantive evidence and thus couldn’t proceed to trial.
Neave has systematically pulled them apart, every single one of them, just as he will almost certainly do with the one remaining race under scrutiny 
Even Police National HQ ( Andrea Quinn ) have said they never had any evidence to back up the charges, but that this whole fiasco was “driven by others”……you decide who the “others” are but I’m guessing at least one Chch based active cop, and one bitter ex cop who’s a salaried member of the RIB staff were directly involved 
You’re obviously a failed punter based on the way you interpret this, in the same style as the Japanese car importer who made the original allegations here was a failed punter, and as it happens he was in a civil dispute with the main player who was falsely alleged to orchestrate the mythical race fixing 
History will judge the narcs and those who orchestrated this farce very harshly in my view

Yes three big names had all charges dropped last week due to lack of credible evidence
No person has been found guilty of any Inca related charges, however some have been found guilty of unrelated matters discovered during the 10 million dollar Inca investigation .
There is only one race still being scrutinised, at Manawatu, it involves two individuals but there are no betting irregularities, no money trail, and the net result of the horse starting twice at the meeting was a $60 win to the connections
It’s absurd because the Police evidence is based on “how many times a driver looks over his shoulder in a race”.
It’s just another demonstration of how stupid and ignorant of race driving the investigators are
It would have zero chance of succeeding in a jury trial because every top class driver in the world would testify against the crown 
What is disturbing is that the RIB is trying to take all the Police evidence / surveillance and use it to charge those accused under the rules of racing, and that’s a grave concern because whilst it’s unlikely the courts will acquiesce to this demand for police orchestrated evidence we know from experience that some JCA members are very unprofessional and in fact are more RIB puppets than objective judges ( note I said some, others are fine, but it shouldn’t come down to luck of the draw when it defines your livelihood ) 
 

There’s a public poll by Curia out in ten days …..my chances are very very high, I’ll probably poll second in the poll but come October 8th I’ll win in a landslide…..and once again I’ll prove that kids who leave school at 15 and become jockeys can do anything…if they want to, and they’re given the opportunity 
Thanks Rev

He didn’t cause any controversy, a steady hand on the wheel, he was approachable and I always found him a fair & reasonable bloke to deal with
I’d suggest he was quite an improvement on the bloke before him !!!
 

Emily Upjohn had the best of the ground out wide in the straight and got clear at the furlong, Tuesday outstayed her, and she came through in the worst of the ground 
The colt who won the Derby, Desert Crown, is a decent horse and clearly better than EJ on decent ground ….he’ll lap her over 2000m anywhere, anytime, and he’ll beat her in the Arc on good ground ( fat chance of that though ) 
I wouldn’t be surprised if Desert Crown ends up being special, and maybe even a super star 
Westover looks a nice enough stayer, maybe a Leger horse ?

Noted …and agreed 💯 …I’m not a whip fan at all, hence I prefer “kind” jockeys 
Let’s agree then to stop head to head betting right now, because it complicates these things, and stop charging jockeys with not riding their horses out, and let’s agree to let all horses who’re “ungenerous” to run off or do whatever they wish 
You can’t have it both ways ..that’s a fact 
It’s called moderation …and common sense
My view, Billy Pinn is a good kid, who might need managing, but he’s a valuable asset to the industry….John Oatham however is a biter little man of no great significance who’s fixated with Pinn, and that’s a problem
