Haha no mate I watched that on replay at 2am, equally as exciting. Watching her come down the main straight and the roar of the crowd was amazing.

Was in the Pavillion Room where Daisy and Heath Shaw were sinking quite a few beers.

Yeah, but some atmosphere is lost when the home team is getting beaten.
There is something truly exciting about her. Hope to see her pushed beyond trips to Sydney/Brisbane.

Always better to go one less than one more and regret it.

Yeah, but I don't think we are at that stage for her yet.

After Sydney I mean.

Good race the TJ Smith.

Much stronger than the recent romps.

Flying up Friday morning. Going to be a great weekend especially if the bombers get up as well!

it looks an excellent card Derby day and first time in ages looks good weather

Great to see such a quality field, last few BC races have been more noted for who is not running.

I've got two extra tickets to the Oaks Lawn Marquee for Saturday as some people can't come now. They're on ebay as well. $450+

 

[hamohawk1]

main threat is bel sprinter. only thing i can see having 1/10th of a chance. although there is some quality in the field the rest is still making up the numbers imo.

 

[KardiniaPark]

They are all quality but they are all making up the numbers.

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

if BC doesnt get a good jump out of the gates the other jockeys will be doing their best to box her in. Last time i put a bet on BC she fell over the line and won by half a head.

Ive got money on her again so just a warning

 

[Affidavit]

Sydney jockeys do have a tendency to gang up on interstate jockies, trainers etc. Could be a worry if she gets a bad jump and they box her in for the whole race.

shell still win, i cant even imagine a situation where she gets beaten without the most blatant team riding display.

That's the worry though with her drawing barrier 1. They all quickly jump to the rails boxing her in. She never really leads her races so it is a concern. Praying she gets up for the 25th! Will be a great day.

The only thing that could get her beat is a Nash Rawiller ride. Not too concerned with her being boxed in from barier 1 you would think she would end up 3-4 horses back with Nolen keeping her one of the fence.

10 other horses means that if she gets a good jump out the field isn't big enough to box her in.
How significant is it that she is carrying 2kg less than Hay List/Bel Sprinter/Rain Affair?

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

What time is the jump?

 

[Stockdale]

5:10pm

 

[MacMum]

Not sure I can watch, so worried about the barrier and the mentality of sydney jocks wanting to box her in etc.

Disgusted with the attitude by some up there......but not surprised.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Fabulous. Got a bit rough there when Nolen pushed off the fence, might have to answer to stewards.

 

[Stockdale]

Brilliant win! Things didnt go perfect for her and she had to push off and go between horses but let down great and put away a top notch field of horses

 

[Gavin Excell]

Super win. One of its best

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

Geez my heart was pumping today, and didn't have a cent riding on it.

Such a beautiful action

 

[eaglespremiers]

Can't really criticise her competition as being 2nd rate today either.
