R2. Australia Day Cup - 1 January 1970
|
Choice/10
I'm going to mark Reflectance as the Best Bet on the card. Without any fixed odds markets available I'm pretty in the dark as to whether or not he will be an eachway price but I'd say unlikely. Thinking Vengabus will be the favourite after another start to finish victory last start but here's hoping an even playing field presents itself on Saturday and I think carrying a remarkably low weight of 51.5kg for 3 kilo claimer Randy Tan he can get the job done and finish over the top. Had my doubts about him dropping back to 1200m last start and stayed away, a successful move. I think scratching him from the Mungrup Sprint at Mt Barker will prove to be a master stroke as he falls into a very winnable race here. Vengabus hardest to catch but vulnerable at 1500m while New Time is ready to show his best after lumping some ridiculous weights his past few starts.

sounds right - they have a good product - I'd be protecting it too

I remember seeing Zac Purton replying to a question on twitter about riding here-it may have been about Magic Millions. He said because there are no Gr1s he wouldnt be able to get permission from the hkjc. I assume that is standard policy.

yes they're certainly very wealthy men..... like top tennis players, they zig-zag the world and make mega bucks,......BUT, riding against OUR best? does not bear thinking about. like me getting out on a court with Roger Federer..... 8-X

These guys are Pro's these days falc - fly in and out the same day. The attraction would be riding against the best from other parts of the world on a neutral patchMoney to most of them probably stopped having any real worth a while ago - would be all about pr...

I had no idea TRKOn another thread somewhere way back when - forumites were throwing ideas around on ways of making Perth Racing a better product.I never posted it but my thoughts at the time were why don't PR try and get a couple of these here each week.Say -...

Havent included Purton, Prebble or Callan ( dont know what State they call home) If you're going to call Whyte a HK native then it's safe to assume Prebble(born in VIC) is too-he's been there since 2002. Purton(born in Lismore, rode in QLD, then NSW) has n...
