Racing August Daily Punt: Equine birthday party month

[Jugada]

Seems strange that Appleby wouldn't even throw in a nom for the Melbourne Cup with one of his numerous well suited 3yos. Particularly if you planned on sending horses down for the Golden Eagle or Cox Plate. If I was guessing he will just skip entirely

Interesting to see Hosier not nommed for any of the big three

The Big Dance surely part of the big 4 ?

At least the race was still won by an Aussie

the tipping point is now with the little end of town struggling to survive. Will be interesting to see what country/provincial trained horses end up in 'The Big Dance' and 'Little Dance'.

Also POCs keep going up and eventually the Covid boom in turnover drops off a cliff

Very open race

Barriers don't help the favs (does assume the middle of track is better than the rails)

Why do Sky even pretend that whatever race is before the Sydney race is going to stay on Sky1?!

I know it was SWP but the Missile was a good preview of the turgid WFA stock we can expect to go around until the raiders arrive this spring - everything half decent in it has gone completely shizen.

Artorius challenging for fave in France tonight if you believe the TAB.

In reality has already been gapped to $8+ on the fair
