gubellini 4,019 Report post Posted August 14, 2019 Big Boned I certainly aren’t jealous of Lou. If anything I feel sorry for him in regards to Global Diamond and Huckleberry Hussie. If he decided to quit them and say sell them on Gavel House on current sale prices he would be lucky to get a grand each for them. If he decides to breed from them well the expense involved would be stratospheric. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit ott Crusty (lol) but way out of her depth, still no better than any other maiden and if anything needs to stick to age group races.

Cooper 115 Report post Posted August 31, 2019 Have to say I felt sorry watching Aalaalune going back through the field today, getting buffeted around by the older horses.

Hi Red Dont under estimate these horses there as tough as and have huge mileage under their belt . They must start to wonder if they are ever going to see a grass track again . I think they have the Cup meeting next week which is huge . We went on to Adeliade River between Kathrine and Darwin big screen tv's big bars and intertrack betting big crowd , just a short walk from town I use that word loosely . Just a funny thing on track was a race were the hot favourite was expected to win ,but the brilliant jockey went back to a 10 length last cruizing along when the leaders took off leaving the fav to come in last . I went over to the stalls after race to here what the trainer had to say about jockeys ride .Trainer let loose with a serve f#### useless p####k you couldnt ride a rocking horse and so on he went on for 5 minutes without drawing breath ,would be good if they did that more at Ellerslie would improve some of our jockeys ordinary rides cheers BH Red Rum 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ended very very badly and we missed Fannie Bay, in fact we had missed it if it was two days later . Saw the jumping crocs on Adelaide River. You've sold me on heading back on a retirement trip to do the circuit. Followed old Wawrinka's travels for a while now , thought yesterday could be his day . Birdsville next week I see.

With her drawing 1 from the outside I just naturally assumed they would adopt her normal racing pattern and drop her back and then fly home with the 48kg on her back with a chance of getting somewhere near them. I never saw the lead-up to the race but was it announced they were planning to ride her forward like they sometimes do here and regularly in Aussie.?? After they had gone 100 metres, if they'd "paused" the race and ask any punters "who wants their money back on Aalaalune" I would have been first in the queue. Even though still a maiden, I believe she was still good enough to be competitive in the race but there is no way she was going to be in it being ridden that way amongst the big guns. I would practically guarantee she wouldn't have finished 15th of 16 had they ridden her back as normal. ….so Gruff I'm agreeing with you.

Made me laugh when any horse settled behind Winx in a race, your NEVER going to outsprint her.....now how do you give a horse with 48 kg and capable of a sub 33 sprint its chance as a ‘maiden’ in a group race? Do you eyeball them? Hindsight’s a wonderful thing and it seems Arjay you have used its benefit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
