Another open one
Another open leg of the quaddie and not a race I'm overly keen to play in. I've settled on Saker who finally cracked it for another win after a short career riddled with bridesmaid performances. Lucy gave him a text book ride last start and simply had to win. He'll most likely be favourite here and I wouldn't be getting fiscally involved in anything less than $4.50. This field has some depth to it and it would be no surprise to see a result thrown up. O'Reilly's Crumpet was excellent first-up over 1500 at Pinjarra when settling last and really extending nicely late. Won second-up in his first preparation and can go close again here. Socially Unique settled at the tail of the field last week and when Jason Brown threw out the anchor on the well tried Baraki Beats it was always going to be hard work for Pike. 1800 looks as though it will suit and he is a realistic chance. Night Prowler only seems to be able to bob up when his odds are more than 20-1 so I'm sure the horse will be eagerly be checking betfair in the mounting yard prior to the race. Rodeo Drive is as consistent as they come and likely to be there abouts again. A wide leg of the quaddie for me because while I have the likely favourite on top I think he is very beatable.

After Purton and I think Moreira were unable to ride at a Sunday meeting following Melbourne rides on the Saturday because flights were diverted due to weather the HKJC said they would be reviewing their present policy at some stage, so if it does change you w...

sounds right - they have a good product - I'd be protecting it too

I remember seeing Zac Purton replying to a question on twitter about riding here-it may have been about Magic Millions. He said because there are no Gr1s he wouldnt be able to get permission from the hkjc. I assume that is standard policy.

yes they're certainly very wealthy men..... like top tennis players, they zig-zag the world and make mega bucks,......BUT, riding against OUR best? does not bear thinking about. like me getting out on a court with Roger Federer..... 8-X

These guys are Pro's these days falc - fly in and out the same day. The attraction would be riding against the best from other parts of the world on a neutral patchMoney to most of them probably stopped having any real worth a while ago - would be all about pr...

good idea leggy but $sssssss, they'd want bizzi class, crown accommodation, meals, maybe a hire car and maybe bring their partners...those guys do not come cheap...+ maybe an appearance fees.ffs PR cannot put on a metro meeting on boxing day, easter, Anzac day...

Havent included Purton, Prebble or Callan ( dont know what State they call home) If you're going to call Whyte a HK native then it's safe to assume Prebble(born in VIC) is too-he's been there since 2002. Purton(born in Lismore, rode in QLD, then NSW) has n...
