Bloody oath Iraklis mate. Rubira too powerful, bolted in. The Purdons can still turn them out better prepared than most. He looks a staying horse to me old mate he'll keep running. Rubira will keep on improving and when the Master Mark Purdon arrives in Brisbane to apply the Purda Polish and Rubira will get even better. Go Rubira!!

Give me a break! McGrath is a serial offender. If he had offended once yes, give him a chance, but that's not the case. He had his chance and blew it. He, Kerr and Anderson should never be allowed back.

WTF???? Seems like a full pardon. Joke

And to answer your question about Kiwi horses in Inters? I believe there's only the Cox nag going now. Its only two heats so get to final hard with Leap To Fame and Don Hugo to race against. Dalgety set Rep Party for NZCup where he's a chance for third cos he good staying horse. Leap To Fame and Swayzee hard to head. We will just have to cheer for Oscar, Rubira, and I would like to see Leap To Fame carry on winning. He's the best pacer in the world and we are privileged to see him Iraklis mate. The Janitor to win Inters... get on old mate

Rubira was impressive Iraklis mate. The spell on the sidelines done him good. He's strengthened and now powerful looking horse. He beat some handy horses last night and can only improve as his first run back. I think he will win the Queensland Derby.The Janitor also won easily beating a good field. If Oscar behaves he wins. There was an interesting winner at Menangle, old mate. Dynamite Dan, trained by Emma Stewart won the $150,000 2yo Sydney Sales Final, is a strong colt by Somebeachsomewhere out of a Bettors Delight mare! He's a staying horse with that breeding and If the horse wins more G1s he must be a certainty for a stud career. There not many young Somebeachsomewhere entires around now. He is a valuable horse.

I miss her old mate. It's worse because the other champion woman driver, my fav Sarah O'Reilly, out too. At least Sarah will be back driving later this year. But we might not see #1 Natalie Rasmussen again.

Another whitewash coming up...

Best stayer in the race? That's a bold claim. I don't care about the result, I don't bet at meetings like Rangiora. I also never back the Dunns, I admire your unhinged loyalty, but I still claim he's an impatient drivers... he's not the only one

Weaker fields the main reason?

What are you on about? If he had shown patience and stayed where he was he would have been among the first three turning home. It was a poor drive from your mate!

He's an impatient driver.

I'm not sure Pure mate. Akuta won seven races at 3yo, $454,500 in stakes. Marketplace to date has won four races, stakes $339,000. He should win more G1 races this season. So the horses will have a similar 3yo record. Akuta raced in better crop against the likes of Republican Party, Franco Indie, Beachball, Franco Mac. Marketplace really doesn't have much competition. Marketplace, like Akuta, is a Bettor's Delight so will improve with age and good staying horse. Akuta is on the comeback, due to trial soon. so the pair might clash one day, then we will have our answer old mate. Until then, I'll sit on the fence.

How long before the tough runs that Got The Chocolates has had take a toll, Pure mate? It's an average crop but if he's driven like that against more competitive fields how long will he last? He'll break down or go sour? How many Art Majors have won the Cup?

He's short for a reason. I think he can still win the race from that draw because he is lengths better than any other horse in the field. I like to see him driven patiently. leave him for the last run at them. He'll power home. We've already seen it with We Walk BY Faith, DSD and Chase A Dream, Marketplace is as good as them!. A lot of the field will be dropping out 800m from home, if he's handy turning for home there won't be many ahead of him and he'll mow them down. Just my opinion of course old mate!

Old mate, I read on the Aussie HR that the Lees wanted to try different driver. G Craven a successful Vic trainer/driver they give him a chance; he's a cock relation of the lees old mate. I'm thinking its because the stablemate Keayang Chuckie is in the top grade too so probably the pair will be in the same races during the season? Yes, the Sebastian K filly is impressive athletic horse. It was a mile though, I think that Keayang Zahara will be better suited to the distance races than the speedy Emma Stewart filly. Just my opinion of course The Aussies have got the best pacers and trotters at the moment, Iraklis mate.
