    What he meant by that was, "Connections don't need the money but we would like to see Winx add 3 or 4 quick Group 1 wins to her record. So we are thinking of sending her to NZ to pick up the Railway, Telegraph, and any other G1's on the circuit over Xmas/New Year. She could get ready by winning the Waikato Sprint, the Te Aroha Breeders etc. Oh, and the Zabeel (is it still G1?). Now she's ready for the Sydney Autumn Carnival after her "NZ holiday". :) 

    Not actually any reflection on our Group 1's Trump - she's done exactly that in Australia too remember!!! Does that make Aussie G1's weak too?? She's a CHAMPION mate. She would win any G1 anywhere!!! However, a nice spell on some decent NZ grass over the summer - in comparison to the Aussie dust bowls over the same period - doesn't sound stupid to me...even throw in a couple of 'practice' flights to tune her up for the trip to Ascot next year... :) Cheers.

    I agree Admin here that Humidor had the perfect run to beat her and the drop on her everywhere but just couldn't quite manage it. You could see Shin [ who had an enormous day!] tracking her every move, every second of that run. Humidor ran the race of his life - She was just a CHAMPION who wouldn't be beaten. Credit where credits due, surely? I was thinking all the way through the race, well Hughie is riding her like the best horse in the race and simply ensuring she doesn't get pocketed. He for sure didn't give her an easy run - - he simply counted on her incredible ability and will to win to do what he realistically knew [ or at least really hoped!] she could! Probably the best horse any of us will ever see. A privilege to watch her.

     

     

  7. Super Easy Rocks!

    Lisdoonvarna won again at Nowra today, took a sit behind the leader, then ran past and won by a couple with her ears pricked in 1:09. Easy Eddie started paying $1.45 and won with a leg in the air at Wyong in a tick under 1:10 on a slightly softer track. Great to see some of the promise shown by these others translating into results. And of course Prom Queen bolted in on Saturday in the Gr 3 down south. Now 8 from 9. Will start very short in the 1000 Guineas barring any mishap.

    Guessing Vega Magic broke 1.08 to run his 1200m

    You lost me mate....Redzel and Vega Magic both started at the same time, so how do you figure he ran a faster time than the winner???

    Two winners in Australia in the last two days, as it happens Bruce - and both are VERY promising types. Remember these two names: Easy Beast and Lisdoonvarna. You'll hear more of them. :) Easy Beast was super impressive: won over 1000m by 6.5 lengths hard held, in 58.2, last 600 in 33.8.

    Any track with a relatively short home straight suits a front runner. That's not hard to predict is it? Those chasing from 10 lengths back will usually not have sufficient distance to overhaul them. But, if you have a long straight, often no one wants to lead and they all walk in front causing farcical sit and sprint races. The track is inert remember. Apart from the actual configuration of the course, the only 'bias' may be caused by a part of the track being wetter than another. ie; from on the inside to the outside for arguments sake. Apart from that - the actual configuration and state of the track itself - I don't believe a track is inherently biased. It's far more dependent on the pace of the race which is jockey determined. You will see today winners from all over:  for example the Alamosa that won, ran 3rd last most of the way, stayed on the fence and won well. The difference?? Pace. And a well judged ride. That's my two bob's worth anyway.

    It was bloody hot n windy in the bay today are you after a fast 1 ?

    Mate - wouldn't it be awesome to see a Fast 1!!  If our horses are so soft they can't stand running on a well grassed track for a mile or so without breaking down - then the NZ TB is stuffed anyway!
