JJ Flash 2,136 Report post Posted September 24, 2018 So someone has had a go on this neddy pre nomination to win FFA in Cup week. Opened up in Pre nom F/O at 41-10.50 and very soon after it was at 31-8s Long way to go to the races itself let alone winning it although its obviously being set for that race as not in Cup. Might need a new driver as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

what a post 811 Report post Posted September 25, 2018 I see this horse is running at trials this week. Dalgety has been very quiet so far this year only having had a total of 12 starters in the first 2 months. Will be interesting to see who he gets to drive his team if the current stand down at racetracks continues. Not sure who he would use.

At least until there is a clash. Semi retired David Butt and Mark Jones nowhere near their best before dates. Maybe a wait and see until current race course bans are lifted or ...........

Its a tricky one for him. Ricky May and Tim Williams look the form drivers,but have other commitments in open class ranks. Maybe a bob butt or brad Williamson? Apart from ricky may,some of the more experienced drivers don't seem in the same form anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might need to come out of retirement for a number of reasons. As for a driver for PD it might be a case of heading north , have AGH or DB got current comittments Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you didn't see M Purdon driving for C Dalgety, you can get those see-through blinkers now. Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was good to see yeah/nah use a bit of energy on those drives, perhaps the message is getting through that you have to make every effort to win or place!!! given Integrity is everything to the punters who pay for the game Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
