R4. Schweppes-melvista Stakes - 1 January 1970

Today's the day
Will the real Kia Ora Koutou please stand up? Still happy enough with how I've played the 3 year old fellas so far. Laid Kia Ora Koutou first-up at a mile, was able to invest almost eachway second-up in the J.C Roberts and get most of it back and now should be peaking third up from a spell and most importantly steps up to a genuine trip for the first time. 2000m plus is clearly his go and he was only just getting warm late over the 1800m. That race should top him off nicely and allowed to settle towards the rear and gradually work through his gears I think he'll round this lot up. Straight at him, best bet on the card. Heart Starter has been a revelation since thumping a bunch of battlers in a Bunbury maiden and the half brother to Real Love looks destined for more quality prize money over the coming weeks. Cappo D'Oro needs closer to 3000m than 2000m but will give a genuine sight if Parnham is proactive and puts him into the race from the 1000 making it a true staying test.

possibly... or another obvious point I'm sure we can all relate to without being vets or scientists, is that they're simply not matured and developed enough to be competing in those high class races being ran into the ground? and while speaking of gr...

This talk of 2yo's not coming back as 3yo's, are you sure we can't put it down to there only being a handful of 2yo's that are actually competitive so they win by default rather than being a top class horse i.e small fish in big pond. Obviously the older they ...

stud value would be enormous but realistically if you win the KK and Sires your a one in a million chance to come back and be competitive as a 3yodunno about that stats but the proof is there as to how many half decent 2yo runners ...

There is no stud value in a KK winning entire. In fact the entire idea of a non-descript race making a stallion prospect is laughable. A KK winning mare producing yearlings offered for sale in WA has some value, but in most markets this is heavily discounted b...

the Karrakatta seems the graveyard of horses...have a look at the last few years, like I did today in the racebook...lucky street is the exception but not really proved as yet. racing as a 2yo in general falc, if you've got one good enough to be competitive...

Just wanting to send out a search party for Dungy? I hope he has been following his foolproof plan of laying Miller 2yo's. Bloke is a star trainer, statistics and data back that up. 5 qualified horses for the KK plate, and the best 2yo he has didn't even get t...
