R2. Old Comrade Stakes - 1 January 1970
|
Top Class Mare
Everything points to Wink and a Nod here as probably the best bet on the card. She flogged these same rivals two weeks ago on a wet track when backed off the charts and meets them on the exact same weight terms. There is a possibility of rain again here and she'll be mighty hard to beat. I had my concerns last week that she would flop dropping back from 1500 to 1200 and looks far better suited over a mile. May have just lost a touch of sharpness in her older age and I think a mile is now her pet distance. She'll settle midfield and run over the top of them I'd say. Battle Hero has put in two very servicable runs this preparation but certainly isn't weight to win this race having to again conceed 2kg to Wink and a Nod. Terror Force is the only new addition to those who contested the Grandstand Cup and is a bit hit and miss. Only carries 0.5kg less than Wink and a Nod and I can't see him being able to go punch for punch with a mare of her class and quality.

Agree with you assessment of Pike's ride on Star Exhibit. Started to make an earlier run but changed his mind. Then got caught napping and was left flat footed. I think our jockeys forget that they are riding horses and not cars. Can't just hit accelerator whe...

Nice preview, the tips are from Wednesday though :)Race 4 Star Exhibit - is the Perth bet of the day in my opinion. Has come back fantastically well this prep and the step to 1800m is ideal and logical. $2.70. Race 6 Showy Chloe – Back to 1400m for ...

And full credit to CJP for doing so. Think he rode all his mounts as positive as possible today and he has reaped the reward for doing so.

In hindsight I'm sure Parnham wished he had gone forward as he jumped on terms with Star Bay who ended up outside the leader and held second. All ancient history now though. CJP took the bull by the horns and got the chocolates

Disagree. Think Parnham would have been much better off going forward than restraining it early.Don't mean to have a got at him in particular and of course he was probably riding to instruction, but to me jockeys in general do that far to often when the option...

Taking nothing away from the winner as the other jocks let CJP get away with it but race 7 was like watching trackwork. Painful if you were on Ripper Rio Had every chance. Got a nice trail into it. Coming off a maiden win, bearing a mate of mine 's horse...
