Chris Wood 1,545 Report post Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks Baz, yes, Voltaire’s Secret makes his debut this Saturday at TeRapa in race 4, the maiden 3yo 1200m. His work has been good, he has blinkers and a tongue tie on, and Vinny Colgan takes the mount. I do think he will handle the ground, although TeRapa can trip a few up these days. Good luck to his new owners and I hope he runs a big race for you. Memphis2, Grego, gubellini and 5 others 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wood 1,545 Report post Posted July 19, 2019 Our boy is in fine fettle for his debut today at TeRapa. I opted for the 1200m race rather than the 1400m as I thought the under foot conditions would be a bit testing, The horse should run a race, hopefully on pace and gives a good kick when asked by Vinny. Thanks to all who participated in his naming and the new connections have something to shout about!

Ponderosa8 1,321 Report post Posted July 20, 2019 35 mins since the announcement, he is still listed in the TAB as a runner!!!.... but then if you try and put a bet on him it then shows SUSPENDED which is really frustrating because if you weren't aware he was scratched and continued trying to put a bet on him you'd be pretty pissed off by now.

Chris Wood 1,545 Report post Posted July 20, 2019 Knocked his head in transit to the races and ended up with a blood nose. Disappointing but will see another day. scooby3051, weasel57 and Ponderosa8 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
