Broken Record

Sounding like a broken record on this preview but I'm sticking to my guns and going with Blackwood to get the big race victory she deserves. Has been enormous this preparation, far from embarrassed in the Kingston Town she was 3 and 4 wide up near the speed throughout and showed incredible heart on a wet track to keep whacking away when given no favours in running fifth. Gets a massive pull in the weights against her main, and arguably only rival, Ideal Image, a whopping 7kg. She can win this, get on board. Ideal Image a slight question mark at a mile for mine but we'll see just how good she really is. Quinella her with Blackwood and trifecta them both with Fashion Princess who has come back a treat this preparation and will win one of these races very soon. The mile is right up her alley and can't fault any run this time in.

That's what you get when you put S.Parnham on he just gave her a sore back that's it! I really hope they weren't the instructions Not just a sore back. Lacerations according to the stewards' report. I wouldn't mind betting it was when Vital Edition loom...

they should NEVER have gone the KT path.... :-?? I think they blew their early Xmas yesterday. She won't get a race presented to her like that again. You couldn't say she has great speed early so if there's any other speed in a race, she'll have trouble le...

^^ Fair enough. Has had a bit of hard racing Blackwood. A testing Guineas into the Kingston Town on a heavy track,both difficult races against tough opposition. Good horse will be back.....in time. I think she might go the way of Northpace. I hope I'm wron...

Kramer if I've said it once, have said it a thousand times...Time only matters if you're in gaol! Or waiting for the kettle to boil. :!! ~O) Well Blackwood sat on a slow pace in the Champion fillies and Perfect Reflection sat back and blew past her. She ...
