99mm last 24 hours……fine day now….

53ml so far last 24 hours, another 62ml expected next 24 hours. Looks like fine weather from the morning reaching 28 degrees later on.

Raining in Sydney now…another 70ml expected with a drop off around luchtime. They might get away with it.

Soft 7 right now with light rain…..70ml so far so not looking flash….. https://7news.com.au/sport/horse-racing/nightmare-weather-forecast-arrives-in-sydney-as-rain-bomb-smashes-royal-randwick-c-14204215

Thanks all you wankers for the best incentive yet……

It won’t be called off….track is dried out with no racing for three weeks. They reckon the drainage will cope.

Lucky Zelda….better than Joan……

Bella Nipotina in the 4 FF…..they have been waiting for a Heavy track…..

Te Akau will be feeling very good about this one Liz…full sister to WYMARK…..good hope in the AJC Derby tomorrow….. https://www.teakauracing.com/yearling/lot-296-savabeel-pasadena-bay-filly

Queen Elida v Oscar should be a beauty if he has recovered. Alford will take no prisoners.

Don’t forget Hinged either SNM…loves the wet. Very tough as you say with so much wet track form. Obamburumai is the query horse, but Militarize and Detonator Jack for mine. Plenty of options though further down….

One way to stuff your horse. Orchestral came back from 2400m to win over 2000m Saturday. Had a decent blow after the race so obviously improvement to come. If it rains, so much the better.

Somebody has certainly fooled somebody…..

She wants a bit of give in the ground too for The Oaks.

Bets in Future Markets Another Wil $3000 @ $4 in the Doncaster Mile Zardozi $5000 @ $1.80 in the Australian Oaks

Some interest today at Warwick Farm, as NZ racing underwhelming….. R2 For Victory…$3.50 good form looks better than these R4 Will be cheering Until Valhalla ( $6.50 ) to knock off Kandinsky Abstract Team expecting it to go well first up….. R6 Dashing Legend $7 and Quick Tempo $6

Somebody thinks Zardozi can win…. Futures Market Moves Estriella $6 into $2.80 in the Arrowfield Classic Cascadian $15 into $11 in the Queen Elizabeth Mark Twain $51 into $12 in the Sydney Cup Zardozi $2.60 into $1.80 in the Australian Oaks Kalapour $51 into $15 in the Sydney Cup Another Wil $8 into $3.80 in the Doncaster Mile

1. Oaks was always the preferred option. 2. Yes. 3. No 4. Probably. Haggas will get it right. Just didn’t back up Saturday, UK horses don’t do that. 5. No, but they have the chance to get some back in the Doncaster, that will be a different race. DONCASTER ORDER OF ENTRY 1. THINK ABOUT IT (57kg) Sam Clipperton 2. OBAMBURAMAI (55kg) Damian Lane 3.
