We're Doomed 4,866 Report post Posted September 8, 2019 With everyone so busy picking favs to get beaten there has been very little discussion about Saturday's racing. I thought Te Akau Shark, went a very good race, probably exactly what the connections were hoping for. Also, massive run from The Chosen One, those connections must have been pretty happy as well. And what a run from Surprise Baby. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what a run from Surprise Baby. I agree Surprise Baby ran on real nice but still think it will have to push hard to get in Cup field in a exemption race and it might do for him this time . I thought Douglas Macarthur earlier in day ran on well after being caught footed, it will find a race during Spring . Not sure about TAS , ran well but 4.80 I think Ladbrokes have him for Epsom looks tight to me , I'd prefer Casadian at 15s at moment . Cannot see TAS winning a Cox Plate but been wrong on punt more times than I have been right . Couple of international races from Korea on later today , runners from France , UK, HK , USA . One from USA ex Brazilian runner so might be interesting see how the formlines converge on that track . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does hardly nothing between that race . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet she picks up a good race this prep over there... not kidding.Went over there last time as our best 2yo and didnt do anything remarkable -wet tracks and wide draws were blamed, as I recall. Drew 1 on Saturday, didn't win -again. I hope she gets better with age and running over longer trips as many Savabeels do. So I'm happy to wait until she actually beats something good in Oz. Their sprinter-milers are just too slick for ours, most of the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
