Some of the older heads around here may remember this game - unfortunately, the company which made it (Stratagem Sports) no longer have their website up and it seemingly can't be downloaded or purchased. Anyway, I was going through some old files and came across the demo mode game but...
If you have horses with David Hayes, then sure, you are probably never going to see him. That's nothing against him, but he has hundreds of horses and doesn't have the time to be gladhanding everyone. Other trainers with smaller teams you will get a lot more personal experience.
As for...
Absolute rubbish. He got within two tenths of the track record at Caulfield over 2000m when winning the Caulfield Stakes.
When he was beaten at Randwick at his last start, it was because Grand Armee had an incredibly soft lead.
Competition is always a good thing. Melbourne could certainly handle more casinos. Many people think that they have to be along the Vegas or Crown model, but I believe there would be a substantial market for smaller, classier, more boutique venues, along the lines of casinos in Britain.
Slade Bloodstock, Star Thoroughbreds etc are rip off merchants. They sell shares in their horses at often double or triple the price they pay for them at the yearling sales.
Shadoways was being well held on the line, and contributed to the interference by shifting in himself. Oliver did the right thing, but it was never going to be upheld.
Julian De Stoop just reported on Fox Sports News that a punter tried to have $25,000 on Judd to become a Demon...they only let him on for $2,000, but it's still a decent lead.
He is too slow because of the tempo the race is run at. I remember one of the British trainers saying that their mile and a half horses would be better suited than their out and out stayers.
