What did we learn from this years Spring Carnival?

[Better Loosen Up]

I don't have anything to say here yet

I am completely miffed!

But fire away if you have any words of wisdom to share.

Think of this as a time capsule to reflect upon next year...

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Actually. First thought....

Don't get sucked in to the media hype

 

[FallingLiefs]

I learnt that Malaguerra = group 1 horse = Rebel Dane.

Classic and Mainkato between them and moir to a horse that couldn't run first 3 in a restricted 3yo G1.

We have better middle distance horses than Sprinters for what must be the first time in decades.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Contrary to my previous belief the Ebor can be considered a form guide for future cups

 

[FallingLiefs]

Yeah nah still happy to pot it.

It's still all about the adaption to Australia and Australian racing.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Things I learnt during the spring Carnaval..

1# Francesca is still hot to trot
2# Charlie Appleby can really place his horses, and no doubt be a force when he comes back.
3# Moonee Vally is a s**t hole
4# Caulfield Guineas day is underrated
5# Chat is a cat
6# D lane/D Weir Friday night combo

Joao Moreira is probably the worlds best jockey and sportsman.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Oh and Hayley Moore is smoking hot!

Goldophin still luckless in sending the right cup horse

Lloyd Williams - when he buys a euro import stayer you follow it!!

Any thought of Winx not being the clear #1 horse in the land no longer exists

Chautauqua is a tampon in for 1 out for 3

Experts on ch7 are mostly flogs

So if something wins the Ebor in 2017 as easily as Heartbreak City did do you discount that formline?

No I don't discount any form lines but Lasqueti Spirit won the oaks off a Kembla grange maiden doesn't mean I'll change the way I look at Kembla maidens.

 

[DemonDayz]

Lasqueti Spirit cost me, still dirty on that one
Yet it's funny that it won at the same time...

I often have backed horses at Sha tin/happy valley just because he's on board.

Surprisingly profitable.

Thought you would be taking unders, like Pike in PR.

 

[Areyoufireal]

Having said that, PR in MR is always good to follow. (BHB, the shield, boooom time, disposition, parhman, etc)
As a Darwinian I enjoy the Perth horses.

 

[Duritz]

European horses who can quicken can run well here. Ebor winner had that. Aiden O'Brien still seems to think slow one pacers are the ones to bring out...

 

[FallingLiefs]

Big fields and acceleration is basically what I look for in replays for euros

Moonee Valley, the valley of Excitement!!

Nah, build it up i say. More 2yo 16/2000m races

 

[Duritz]

Cos we really need to have more sprinters...

 

[Gavin Excell]

Choose red wine over headache whites

 

[Brains Trust66]

I learned that Melbourne cup day is a good day to binge watch TVs shows you are behind on.
