Catalano 951 Report post Posted October 12, 2016 Her sire Myboycharlie has had a 59 race starters at 2600m+ for 1 win. The dam is by General Nediym - I'm no expert at breeding, but it's hard to make an argument for her over 3200m based on that. Maybe Zelda, you can be a bit braver and call it a first 5 finish?

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted October 12, 2016 Is she too short odds wise in the Caulfield Cup too ? Personally with the overseas horses in I would want a little more for her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is interesting Catalano is that Damien Oliver declared her an Oaks filly after one 2yo track gallop: JAMEKA’S dominant win in today’s Group 1 $1 million Crown Oaks was momentous for Damien Oliver in more ways than one. Oliver identified Jameka, a daughter of Myboycharlie from the General Nediym mare Mine Game, as an Oaks filly after riding her one day in track work at Caulfield when she was a two-year-old. Although her breeding suggested otherwise, Oliver was taken by the filly’s relaxed disposition and her lovely, long-striding action. She won the Oaks (2600m) easily after leading, then sitting outside the leader and going to the front turning in and winning by over two lengths on the heavy track. Will be interesting to see if she can get another 600m. The ability to relax certainly helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted October 15, 2016 Hartnell is a WFA horse now isn't he, they wouldn't diminish his value by running him in a handicap, even though he is a gelding. As for Jameka, genes are a wonderful thing when recombined, she doesn't know who her father and mother are or were, what they could and couldn't do, and for what it's worth Michael Phelps brother drowned in the bath.

Where will this run take place old mate? Maybe two. One for the eastern suburbs boys(scary). And another for us more robust people out west. It sure would be a sight for very sore eyes.
