Racing Cox Plate

[Dominion]

Just watching Racing.com - if there has been a better win in Australia in the last 30 years than So You Think's first Cox Plate I haven't seen it. Still sends shivers down the spine. Legitimately Frankel like

(and yes I thought it was utter poi poi all week in the lead up )

Winx's demolition job in '16 for me

 

[HeathySure]

I stand corrected checked Miller’s guide it started about $9 crunched in late from memory

Was on Lad of The Manor that year
Gee that was a good era
El Segundo
FOO
Pompeii Ruler
LOTM
Miss Finland
Racing to Win
Apache Cat

no it wasnt. Poo horses except Apache cat and Miss Finland and they werent really 2000m horses

$21 absolute madness about The Wand and fully expect it to be crunched in once the media starts getting around it. Pretty sure 99% of the punters just have no idea who it is at the moment. It's last couple starts has basically been crossing the line with the top 3 favourite for the Breeders Cup

FWIW Paris this boy would be prob my fav #1 his CP win vs Sunline

now your talking. That horse was a freak, underated these days. 3 lengths better than sunline

And half a length inferior to Freemason

And half a length inferior to Freemason

that day was one of the mysteries of the world. Northerly generally beat it by 6 lengths. Freemason took him on and beat him and they ran a track record. Granted it was about 200m further than Northerlys best distance but Freemason has never shown the capability of doing that before or after. If Hawkes ever put elephant juice in their horses it was that day.

2 pages of posts tonight was thinking what it could possibly be this late. then I saw someone complimenting Lonhro.

i let Paris do my talking because i would have lashed out too.. He is the most over rated cotton wool cat in Australian racing history and his Australian Cup run totally overated. the fact that he was held up and blocked helped him win the race because he only had a short sharp sprint and was not the strongest 2000m horse going around. Bah i hate the fact that he is talked up as a good horse.

she say outside the leader in a group 1 race in Japan which would be about 10 lengths better field than anything in Australia..That was just dominant.. she just wins easily

With that many posts was either a) complimented lonhro or b) criticised a true European champ like Treve or something.

In more important news - my Dad, the greatest anchor in the history of thoroughbred racing, is super keen to have a big go on LG this Saturday.

Oh oh !!

On the plus side this probably means the dead ass low in the price

Lucky we have The Wand for backup.

[iluvparis]

Humidor (1st EM), Mr Q (2nd EM), Gailo, DC and Nettoyer (lol) balloted out

Gee that's tough on old Gailo for mine

Of course the 3yo and the watch everyone jump on the shark into poison.

Gate 15 for LG (12 after emergencies come out) - I'd have preferred 7-10 but prefer her jumping from 12 than gate 2 where she may never see daylight.

This is how I'd price it:

$3.00 - LG
$6.50 - Magic Wand
$9 - COGH
$12 - Avilius
$13 - Kluger
$15 - Mystic Jurney
$16 - TAS, Homesman
$26 - KWD
$31 - BHB; Danceteria
$41- VE
$51 - Castle
$101 - Harlem

LG drifts from 3.2 to 3.5 post draw

Never has the saying 'a bad gate just means a better price' been more appropriate

 

[HeathySure]

LG drifts from 3.2 to 3.5 post draw

after watching her last start, its the perfect draw. Gai Waterhouse couldnt have done better!! Normally i hate horses outside the leader but she just goes to the death and kills them. I am super super confident
