NSW oaks may be better but Vic Oaks is a shyteshow
It was a similar story with the Derby last week though wasn't it?I know Colette won easy and could have won by more, but the placegetters being 2x Maidens in Toffee Tongue and Quintessa hardly inspires me with confidence about that form.
Probabeel and Funstar clear top 2 3yo fillies up to the Mile, Funstar wasn't at her best at 2000m and Probabeel probably wasn't either but that is still the premier form for mine. Start before Shout the Bar 2nd to Asiago who has Positive Peace form (came out and won Gp2) and Asiago herself won a Gp3 last prep. Even Subpoenead form had won a BM70, shitloads better than horse that haven't won a Maiden.
Note: I backed Quick Thinker week before the Derby and jumped off. Not I've back Colette week before the Oaks and jumping off...
Agree Probabeel is the only horse I could take out of the Vinery. She's got the runs on the board and is very classy.On reflection I think Probabeel's run was actually superb given how the track was playing on the day. If she stays (bred to) I am certain she will turn around the form against the winner.
I am always happy to be on the class runner in the Oaks and she is the only one here. Was on Collete on Saturday but she is more than well found coming through the second/third tier formlines.
I've noticed in Australian racing, that when 3yos get to the classic distances the form guide goes out the window
There was a period there though where you had short priced favourites falling overDisagree - Historically the VRC Oaks has been one of the easiest races on the planet to find the winner.
To 2000m seems form is consistent enough its the leap to 2400/2500 that makes a huge difference.I understand what you mean, normally our better horses (milers) fall by the wayside on the way there and we are left with some fairly ordinary stayers on the way up. A few may improve to the mile and a half and likely heavy track means there are a few anomalies here and there.

Try and squeeze every last ounce?Maher & Eustace mustn't have many big plans for Away Game as a 3yo
Been up since November and seemed to have run in everything
Yes it isIt was a similar story with the Derby last week though wasn't it?
You had the class runners out of a slow Rosehill Guineas, then the fitter horses on the week back-up ran the tri because they went along at a decent clip.
It's an intriguing race.

Some of the winners prices of the SA and Qld Oaks recent years are eye watering

English Guineas & Epsom festivals pushed back. Royal Ascot behind closed doors. This could be first year with no betting on the Queen’s hat. These are serious times
Not much info on it other than:viva la mattner Racy Bella $101 in the first at Murray Bridge. Blinkers on. Heard anything?
Not much info on it other than:
