R7. Amelia Park Karrakatta Plate - 1 January 1970
|
Always a Cracker
The Karrakatta plate is always a cracking showcase of the best juvenile talent the state has to offer and the 2016 edition is no different. The market would suggest there are probably 5 horses who can't win leaving an ultra competitive field of 8. A 2 year old specialist tipster said to me during the week that he thought The River wasn't taking ground off Atacama Sky, it was more the fact Atacama Sky was stopping and looked under done. That being the case I'm willing to risk the favourite and chase some value. He is "super duper" keen on Saul's Special and I won't reveal him incase he gets beaten up for using the phrase "super duper". I've settled on Speeding Comet who I think will lead the race. Love a 2 year old out in front and with other noted Miller speedsters Whispering Brook and Atacama Sky drawn horribly I think Speeding Comet, and W.Pike, are being underestimated and getting under the radar. Saul's Special was outstanding on debut and the 1200m should suit him down to the ground while I'm hoping for a better showing from talented maiden galloper Stored Energy. Brilliant viewing, tough punting.

possibly... or another obvious point I'm sure we can all relate to without being vets or scientists, is that they're simply not matured and developed enough to be competing in those high class races being ran into the ground? and while speaking of gr...

This talk of 2yo's not coming back as 3yo's, are you sure we can't put it down to there only being a handful of 2yo's that are actually competitive so they win by default rather than being a top class horse i.e small fish in big pond. Obviously the older they ...

stud value would be enormous but realistically if you win the KK and Sires your a one in a million chance to come back and be competitive as a 3yodunno about that stats but the proof is there as to how many half decent 2yo runners ...

There is no stud value in a KK winning entire. In fact the entire idea of a non-descript race making a stallion prospect is laughable. A KK winning mare producing yearlings offered for sale in WA has some value, but in most markets this is heavily discounted b...

the Karrakatta seems the graveyard of horses...have a look at the last few years, like I did today in the racebook...lucky street is the exception but not really proved as yet. racing as a 2yo in general falc, if you've got one good enough to be competitive...

Just wanting to send out a search party for Dungy? I hope he has been following his foolproof plan of laying Miller 2yo's. Bloke is a star trainer, statistics and data back that up. 5 qualified horses for the KK plate, and the best 2yo he has didn't even get t...
