What I found interesting in that race was Warrens jumped on Jaarffi over his mrs runner. Must make for interesting conversations at home..

Well that's just not true at all. Palliser will be here again with a duplicate post next week!

I would live a happy 2025 if I was to only get ONE of mine correct.... Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl

Which is exactly where NZ Racing was going to be, had Entain not walked in to start with. Short memories on a lot of people. And Alf, that bouncy castle often helps add a +1 or +2 visitor count whenever I go. To be fair they are not big punters though

Our bet history must be looking very similar today. Had a multi Acquarello, Tale of the G, Sought After, Koheroa @ 48:1

Orchestral first up mirrors Pride of Jennis last campaign when the betting public expected way too much fresh over 1400m. POJ went on to win over further 3rd up.

Rough day for me too. On the flipside Provence killed my chance to get out of the hole - I had Qali AF at 12s fixed. In better news, Betcha just threw a random $20 bonus cash at me due to some glitch at Kumara yesterday so lets hope for better with house money

Acquarello for me. Last start only beaten by yesterdays Thorndon winner and gets 6kg on Orchestral who is fresh and short of best.

One other observation today: George really seems to be struggling with the commentary at Kumara. Getting his timing wrong with the short straight and the race is over by the time he describes the finish. Maybe not as familiar with the colours down south too.

Gee the TAB must be in for a pantsing if Qali Al Farasha gets up. Opened at 21s and was 12s just last night. Now into $4.50 fave with no scratchings. Someones loaded up.

Been watching Chaource, today might be the day but think its best over 1600-2000m. Went with Knock Off when it opened at 9s, and will bang them in a quinella. Also on Manifique and Sinhaman. Good luck with your two today.

Its for the reason Pete mentioned. From memory the scratched horse was paying 41s which meant the deduction was at best 2%. Insignificant in the grand scheme. No idea on exotics sorry Ed. We're still getting our heads around the basics for now

Well found boss. I have decided to avoid midweek CD meetings at the moment, but will have a dabble on those other two as part of a quaddie.

Purists aren't reading form comments

Coincidentally Stephen Marsh was trying to say the same thing prior to the race, stopping himself short of saying "others better" of course.
