Tonto Jump On It
Finally the Sugar Hill Gang "Apache" lyrics are in play, "Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it". If you don't know the song do yourself a favour and brighten up your day by listening to it. Tonto was attacking the line behind a tiring Battle Hero last start but unable to bridge the gap beaten 0.8 lengths. He picks up a 1.5kg advantage here and I think we can see a reversal of the placings. Jason Whiting is an accomplished staying hoop and I'm backing him to press the button at the right time and sweep to the lead with 100m to run. Battle Hero the obvious danger and deserving favourite, won 4 in a row including back to back Listed victories. Had to do all the work in the rain last start and out stayed them but another 2 furlongs is the question here. Special Delivery should get a cosy run probably three back the fence and could potentially add some value to our standout trifecta.

It's disappointing that Peter Hall-who is in a rich vein of form-has been replaced by the struggling Willie Pike on the Oaks favourite, Delicacy. Adding further insult to injury is that Hall is now on the stable mate, a $51 chance. I realise Pike has the pick ...

I agree with bookielover about the jockeys. Great jockeys get bad horses home.

I watched Paul Harveys ride very closely. He is supposedly a top jockey and absolutely slaughtered Terror Force. What he did was inexcusable. Correct he murdered it. Another ride to note was Knuckey on Drumnoorum. Not the most enthusiastic of rides. Follow...

Did anyone apart from me spot our beloved Andrew Carter on Sky Chanel 521 leaning over, tape recorder poised, taping an interview with a trainer at Ascot late this afternoon. His media ID card swinging from his neck as he mingled with the media throng. H...
