R3. Placid Ark Stakes - 1 January 1970

Leader Bias and Weight Advantage
I found it quite hard to split my top two in Hobart Jones and Fuld's Bet. But with the barrier advantage, weight pull and the leader bias nature of the Ascot track to date I'm happy to go with Fuld's Bet. She was flying first-up and was casually reeled in by sharp Peter's gelding Disposition. Second-up in the Burgess Queen put in a good sight but found 1400m a tad too far. Drops back to 1200m here and looks very hard to catch. Hobart Jones ran a ripper first-up against older, stronger opposition. Beat home the likes of Tiger Pete, Fiddler's Elbow and Cool Trade. Rises to 60kg here but I think is still definitely the main danger. Keen to quinella them here. Palace Intruder has been ticking along nicely this preparation and with Australia's best hoop Damien Oliver aboard is well worth an eachway ticket to round out the trifecta.

crowd was alright I'd say. whose the person on the far right drinking a can of Mid, is that a sheila on stilts or a bloke with a blonde wig on, would hate to run into her down a dark northbridge alley on an early sunday morning :-))
