Racing The All Star Mile

If this was an open handicap, and Urbie was on a minimum of 51 or something. am I correct in suggesting that Happy Clapper would be carrying 99kg?

Sorry it would more like 75kg.

Correct - I can't remember the year but I think I looked at one of the Donny fields when Frankel was around and on official ratings he would have been carrying something like 78

To be fair Clive Palmer could ride the Clap and Urb's not getting near him

We had a hypothetical last week:

Would Winx win the Hinnomunjie Cup over 2000m on a Good 3 carrying 108.5kg?

The toppie was a 35 rater at 67kg, so knock him back to the 60kg picnic minimum with all the other runners, and smack her 97 point rating advantage on top.

FYI, the race was run in 2:11, track record time btw. Would 51.5kg from her normal WFA weight make her 12-13 seconds slower than usual?

We basically suggested she'd have to try and be 3-4 in front at the turn, and assume slow horses can't chase.

Surely some sort of scientician can come up with the impact of mass on speed

I have a science background but unfortunately all my horse racing dealings are done from the heart.

He’s no Universal Prince

I'm on the Le Romain bandwagon as well, he just loves the 1600m. Over the odds for mine if he manages to get a start.

 

[FallingLiefs]

yep MM, Foundry and UR all lame.

scratch them i say

 

[54Dogs]

UR $201 into $101 @ Beteasy. Can't beat that 11/12 and 13/14 lead up form in scrubber races in QLD. He did win a provincial BM race in 2017 so broken clock and all that.

I guess $20 each from 800 owners will tighten anything

Yes there's been some mathematical studies undertaken. Analysis has concluded that weight will stop a train

1 down, 2 to go

 

[FallingLiefs]

get TFF in there! urbie getting scratched would basically make this whole preperation worth it.

 

[bigpapagman]

**** yeah, Le Romain. Run a drum you mad campaigner.

 

[iluvparis]

**** yeah, Le Romain. Run a drum you mad campaigner.

Straight into my top 3 and all multis

 

[RobbyRoy]

Le Domain, TFF and Hellova Street make it a hell of a lot better race.

What's Clappers best Melb performance?
