R5. R.s. Crawford Stakes - 1 January 1970
|
A small field to scorch over the 1000 metres
A pity about the scratchings of Benito and Pinnici here, it has reduced the field to only five runners and taken a lot of the gloss off the race. You would have thought a speed battle between Travinator and Benito was forthcoming, now Travinator probably gets his own way in front and must come into strong calculations to win on his return to racing. The old Travinator would run them off their legs here, however he isnt quite the same horse as yesteryear is he. Will go for Cool Trade to win today, she has been racing very well without winning this campaign, but probably gets a nice sit on Travinator here and can run over him down the straight. Black Heart Bart is the interesting runner, I thought coming back to 1200 metres was a little strange, now he is back to 1000 metres, but boy is he in good form at present. Shining Knight struggled to pick them up last start with the big weight, and this may happen again today, the scratching of Benito possibly means a little less speed up front and that wont help his cause either. Still a small but good field to contest the Crawford Stakes.

I will add, though that I hope Bob Peters thinks long and hard when considering an Autumn campaign for Disposition. It would be awfully hard to resist an Australian Guineas-Australian Cup campaign but the way Ihtsahymn has dropped off from last year is a worry...

Having watched the replay of the Cox Stakes I think the only way Steven Parnham erred on Ihtsahymn was that he didn't hold his position when Pike crowded him in the home straight on Elite Belle before taking his run over the closing stages. Parnham then had to...

I was close in my prediction. Mr Moet - 59kg Ihtsahymn - 58.5kg Chester Road - 58kg Balmont Girl - 57kg Remainder - 54kg Real Love on the 54kg minimum will start a very short priced favourite
