No Easy Get Out Again

Selections

Same as last weeks card there is definitely no easy get out. Expecting eachway the field in this and with Red Ora drawing barrier 16 of 16 coupled with the 61.5kg impost I think it should be a very interesting betting affair. I settled on Crown Lawyer who possesses an imposing first-up record, a gun barrier draw and comes to the races off the back of an effortless trial. Finished almost 5 lengths behind Lite'n In My Veins at the trials but was very well held and having already won twice first-up in the past I think he can run a cheeky race here. Red Ora has everything against him but oozes class. If you have any doubts over the horse at all watch his scintillating run in the Hannans last start. Volkoff is the new kid on the block having strung together two highly impressive wins. On the 54kg minimum will be hard to hold out late. Flytego has to contend with a bitter barrier blow but is a very handy type. Winning chances galore in the last, including both the emergencies in Outlaw Pete and Calabria Joe should they get a run. PTT Quaddie Club: 1 / 1,2,3,7,8,12 / 2,3,5,8,12 / 1,2,6,9,11,14,15 - $100 = 48%

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...

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...

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...
