R6. The Neometals Handicap - 1 January 1970
|
2 horse race plus Sujet
Looks like a 2 horse race between Showy Chloe and Lunar Eclipse here but for the sake of safety I've also included 'that old chestnut' Sujet. Putting Showy Chloe on top and think that the 3 year old goes very close against the older gallopers. Carries a luxury weight of 54kg for a filly of her credentials and drawn in barrier 4 with W.Pike in the saddle deserves favouritism. Should get the softest of runs up on speed and Pike can elect to take a sit or lead if he so chooses. From there she's the one to run down and should give a very genuine sight. Lunar Eclipse has won 3 of his last 4 and last start was forced to go up along the wrong part of the track to win. Every single horse on that rainy day wanted to be atleast 3 or 4 horses off the fence and when confronted with a road block Lucy Warwick took Lunar Eclipse back to the inside rail and he won against the pattern of the day. Including the enigmatic Sujet in my top 3 and quaddie. He is a dead set head case, but his two runs so far this prep have been electric. 1400m may be his distance these days and I'll be including him here.

Agree with you assessment of Pike's ride on Star Exhibit. Started to make an earlier run but changed his mind. Then got caught napping and was left flat footed. I think our jockeys forget that they are riding horses and not cars. Can't just hit accelerator whe...

Nice preview, the tips are from Wednesday though :)Race 4 Star Exhibit - is the Perth bet of the day in my opinion. Has come back fantastically well this prep and the step to 1800m is ideal and logical. $2.70. Race 6 Showy Chloe – Back to 1400m for ...

And full credit to CJP for doing so. Think he rode all his mounts as positive as possible today and he has reaped the reward for doing so.

In hindsight I'm sure Parnham wished he had gone forward as he jumped on terms with Star Bay who ended up outside the leader and held second. All ancient history now though. CJP took the bull by the horns and got the chocolates

Disagree. Think Parnham would have been much better off going forward than restraining it early.Don't mean to have a got at him in particular and of course he was probably riding to instruction, but to me jockeys in general do that far to often when the option...

Taking nothing away from the winner as the other jocks let CJP get away with it but race 7 was like watching trackwork. Painful if you were on Ripper Rio Had every chance. Got a nice trail into it. Coming off a maiden win, bearing a mate of mine 's horse...
