About time the Poms had something to crow about since James Cook and Sebastian Coe retired ,as not a lot in the other things they thought up like cricket and rugby ! I doubt too many NZ based trainers even went this year to the land of the dodgy politics and covid and extreme weather...did any even try ? Maybe a small stable from Taranaki...I unsure ,too busy watching the the one-sided borefests from NRL with all the sin binning...gone soft the brain damaged ,soon they be following on from the Pommie rugby players and sueing the Sport ! NZ trainers too busy concentrating on the jumpers , making up the 5 and 6 horse fields here ! Red Rum and JJ Flash 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough , I am sure it's a temporary miss this year as the trainers here normally do very well up there . Still the Sunshine Coast Cup to go I think unless I've missed it . Has The Bostonian retired , he goes well there . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to see what happened to a horse called that at Casterton last year on 27th June who fell , the one with that name isn't coming out of retirement . Of course there could be two the same name which is entirely possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell RJ……hasn’t beaten much to date and that field yesterday had second raters in it, but it can only win and is doing it easily. Making it favourite for the Caulfield Cup is a bit premature though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted June 27, 2021 Incentivise , good horse to run up sequence , cannot do anymore but that form of who he beat yesterday , dire . Mirage Dancer looking to breeding shed now , third horse 6th in average Ipswich Cup under 54kgs last week, Southern France not the same since setback and rest just average stayers .Zaaki beat MD by same distance under a hold at levels at end three or four big races in prep . Victoria in Spring in a big one a different league to that motley crew yesterday . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohokaman 5,825 Report post Posted June 28, 2021 I see it was reported by ratings expert Dan O’Sullivan that Incentivise rated 108.5 in that win on Saturday, second only to Zaaki (110) in the Doomben Cup, That is serious Group 1 weight-for-age form,” O’Sullivan said. It is well and truly supported by the clock, it stacks up with margins back through. “My ratings are normalised to weight-for-age, a horse like him in a Caulfield Cup will end up with about 53kg, that is 6kg under weight-for-age. If you have a horse running serious weight-for-age figures and they’re in a handicap that far under what they would be in weight-for-age, they are basically going to win anything. “If he ran in a Caulfield Cup with 53kg and ran to that figure, he would win it virtually every year in the last 10 years. Whether he can actually run to that level in a Caulfield Cup is an entirely different story. “It was a huge spike performance for the horse, the way I explain it is like cricketers when a guy averages 40, some days he is going to score a hundred but that doesn’t mean you expect him to get a hundred each time he steps out. It’s not necessarily realistic to think he is going to show up in a Caulfield or Melbourne Cup and think he’s going to run a 108.5.” Having rated 103 for his run at Ipswich a week earlier, O’Sullivan said punters can expect to see something in between the two figures. “The key point is he has all the traits of a top-class horse, he has tactical speed, cruising speed, huge turn of foot and he has shown he has stamina for a mile-and-a-half,” he said.
