Priority

[Tauhei Notts 1,413]

No, I seriously doubt whether he will be anywhere near as good as that two year old I saw two years ago at Ellerslie.

But I watched the replay of his win several times and I liked what I saw.  The bad bit was it was only an 880 metre scurry.  The good part is how he dived for a gap; no field shyness; at his first start.  Perfectly Ready; okay but no world beater, but he is out an Encosta De Lago mare.

I think he will be okay.  A group race is well within him. 

Come on Race Cafers; tell me a 2011 foal with better potential.

Yes it was a nice win... promising.

Notts,  you've picked a good horse.  I'll  take  AMUN RA  against your  PRIORTY   for a double scotch

at the Group one Bar, Cambridge.

( Most money won by the end of their 3 year old careers.)

[Tauhei Notts 1,413]

Amun Ra would have as much chance as Panzer Chief against that Sobig colt.

Black Kirrama - you're ON!

[Todamax101 533]

Alright guys, i'm on.

 

I'll go with a horse called Afreen (Perfectly Ready x Baheeya) stabled with Stephen McKee. Unraced, but has had a couple of trials and done alright, and the operation that owns him are pretty good selectors of horses.

[Tauhei Notts 1,413]

Thank you Todamax.

Damn it.  I'll have to run it.

My nominees as judges are Rick Williams and Chris Wood, but their positions will be as honorary stewards.

This could be a very interesting competition.

I feel that Forrest should be allowed an entry for CADUCEUS, but that stake money from 3rd May 2014 only will count.

The correct spelling of that word, Kirrama, is "dementia".

[Black Kirrama 1,513]

See new Thread for Amended rules and THREAD  for ENTRIES.

[Black Kirrama 1,513]

Thanks Notts,  I was suffering from dementia when I spelt it "theresnothinwrongwithmybrain".

TURN ME LOOSE

With the right trainer and if good enough will end up racing over the ditch for good money as a 3yo.

 

Pleased he didn't win today though.

[Ashoka 1,179]

rdytdy...

 

A horse of the same name was the subject of one of Mark Read's big plunges that came off in the early eighties.

 

Also, the name of a hit song for a North American group around the same time.

 

Just sayin'...      

 

Cheers.

Ashoka

[rdytdy 5,343]

Ashoka

Turn Me Loose was sung by the rock group Loverboy.

Hope this fellow gets some big plunges up also.

[Lloyd Vivian 742]

I'm going to nominate Asprey. Alamosa colt of zzz zzzzz's. Have liked him from day one.

[nek minute 296]

my pick would be leeds trained by mike breslin. is a nice big 2yr old that was very green at his only start

Just remembers Comrade Zelda, KGB still watching you.

[Lloyd Vivian 742]

In order to fully comply, having just re-read the rules, I should state:

1] the full breeding of Asprey is Alamosa out of Bond Street and

2] he is a gelding, not a colt.

 

I also should state that I have selected him for

1] his obvious ability,

2] his beautiful type and

3] his potential [ being out of a Pentire mare ], to win the Derby - in addition to the 2000 Guineas and several other Guineas races on the way through, next season!! Not to mention because he's by Alamosa and I'm very keen for an Alamosa to win all of the above in any case!!

 

Of course, he could be sold next week and do all his future racing in Hong Kong, where he should continue to amass a small fortune and enable me to still win this comp!

Cheers!

[Insider 3,968]

My Choice is:

 

Rockfast [Fastnet Rock - Gypsy Princess]

2 year old colt with Jason Brigdman

 

Obviously well bred and on the Classic trail.

Already stakes placed but still a maiden.

[d.burrow - Joan 224]

As the entries close tomorrow here goes:

 

Johnhro 2 year old bay colt with Trent Busutin and Natalie Young

 

He's by Lonhro out of Doubloon

 

Unraced but I thought that he trialed well a week or two back.

[jack 431]

I`ll select this yet to be named colt :

 

 

..... 
(2c Road To Rock (AUS) - Her Hidden Talent) Lynsey Satherley Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young, Cambridge

 

 

If not , then I`ll select another...
