R4. City Of Belmont Community Trophy - 1 January 1970

Quality 1800m
Not often in WA can we get excited by any racing beyond a mile so to see a quality field of clashing form-lines contest an 1800m event I'm pretty pumped. It is well documented that Pounamu will go for a spell after this run and his preparation has been excellent since joining the Mathews stable from NSW. Two starts ago hit the front very early in the straight when Carberry prematurely pulled the trigger and was nailed on the line by Star Exhibit. He meets that galloper 3kg better at the weights for being beaten a nose and should go close again. Star Exhibit is an exciting type and is certainly in the right stable to be contesting races of this distance and beyond. Pike is yet to even use the whip on him this campaign so it'll be interesting to see how he responds. Illuminated was run off his feet first-up as expected and steps straight up to a middle distance. He will improve sharply here and looks the only and logical leader in this event. Noske will be looking to find the fence and steal a few cheap sectionals, don't disregard him.

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...
