Insider 1,957 Report post Posted March 13 22 hours ago, Nerula said: I would go so far to say this race should have a prelude at 2200m. The year our girl won (2008) she put the pressure on the whole way and the the ones behind her looked very tired coming back. Many of those had no show of running the race out. Nobody knew if they could. The point is the step from 2000 to 2400m is a big one. If a filly couldn't run out a 2200m it would be abusive to run it in a 2400m, Imo Maybe the Te Rapa lead up, name? should be the 2200 coz the 2000m start there is useless. Just adds to the conundrum Get your Club to change the distance of the Sunline Vase then. 1 TurnyTom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish you had sent that $500 to me! I'd have given you 10% share in a yearling filly so you could be a real owner too. I could name her Jennifer Freckles! 1 1 chelseacol and scooby3051 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chelseacol 2,143 Report post Posted March 13 9 minutes ago, arjay said: Too late the stop is on Jennifer she is a lovely horse and I hope she wins it. But the current $1.95 FF quote is surely unders from the draw, and with the step up to 2400m. So couldn't have a proper bet on her imo. My strategy will be to take her as an anchor on one quaddie ticket so I at least cover her, and after that playing 6 horses each way and in multiples. Would love to see Kevin H pick up the race with Communique (or Karolino which is not the worst) - top bloke and puts lots in the game. My others at $34 and $81 so should be a fun watch irrespective. 1 talk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get on Loire Col....she will love the 2400m, JE might not. Pike won the Derby and set her for this a while back. $8.50 great bet. 1 chelseacol reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdytdy 4,734 Report post Posted March 14 Fantastic win by Jennifer. Congrats to your Dad CT and all the other owners along with Adrian. I knew she wouldn't be taken back to last and it was indeed a superb ride by Jason and nothing less that what you expect from him. She has certainly cemented her place as NZ Filly Of The Year title winner and a thoroughly deserving winner. Congratulations to Shaune on a wonderful training feat having her performing right through the season and culminating in three successive black type victories with the G1 NZ Oaks the icing on the cake. What a great day. 3 1 CT"s, Baz (NZ), Memphis2 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poundforpound 3,203 Report post Posted March 14 She’s a great little filly alright. I suspect she’s a miler, or a mile and a quarter horse, but she’s putting on a clinic amongst her age group and gender and who knows where it’ll all end up...could be anywhere and she could be anything I have to say I’ve never seen a horse pull like it but still quicken off the bridle.....that trait is unique and quite remarkable 1 2 Baz (NZ), rdytdy and CT"s reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tauhei Notts 740 Report post Posted March 14 I have given Jennifer Eccles' win some thought. I am trying to think of a more impressive Oaks winner. I am so old that I remember La Mer. Please tell me another one. What we saw yesterday was incredible. I never ever thought Proisir would throw 2400 metre fillies. Second and third was a surprise to me. The possibility exists that John Thompson has a seriously good stallion there, and the service fee is quite reasonable. 4 Insider, Pam Robson, Breeder and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proisir's 5th dam was Sunbride, so not surprising that he is pretty good. Would J.E. have beaten Two Illicit? Don't know but suspect not. J.E., Loire and Showbeel were mixing results but J.E. became dominant over more distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
