The #Rola
Breaking all the rules here and putting my own horse Savanarola on top. This looks very winnable after a rough gig in the Perth Cup. Drawn very wide he was swimming in alcohol fumes from the crowd as the starter pressed go and was thereafter caught 3 deep, mostly without cover, for the entire trip before sweeping forwards behind Kirov Boy at the 800 and was a goner by the home turn. With a 3 week freshen and a 3kg claim to CJP this looks a very winnable assignment for our glamorous grey. 2 starts back Savanarola safely accounted for both Go Tiger and Flying Force and should do again. Quite Regal only just got over the top of Flying Force at Pinjarra and meets that galloper 1.5kg worse at the weights. Thinking on the 54kg minimum that Flying Force can turn the tables on Quite Regal, with those two gallopers the logical challengers. The money came for Cougar Express last start but he failed to live up to expectations. Harvey teams up with Lindsey Smith and they have a strike rate that Chris Gayle would be proud of. Could get pretty rowdy at in the Mooney Valley members at about 6:30pm if the #rola wins.

After Purton and I think Moreira were unable to ride at a Sunday meeting following Melbourne rides on the Saturday because flights were diverted due to weather the HKJC said they would be reviewing their present policy at some stage, so if it does change you w...

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...
