Now I'm not saying it will defnetly win but, Can someone tell me why Siderus is 40-1. It smashed OTW on the weekend, the race before All American did have its work cut out catching otw and siderus home, in a race arguably Dubai to Sydney should have one.

Now it seems DTS lacked spark and needs a rest, OTW couldnt keep up with Siderus and Siderus after a first up 2nd over 1000, is really set for its 3rd try at 1200 this prep.

One at Odds for sure, maybe it lakes class, maybe it doesnt
 
Theres two ways to look at this IMO.
Historically we know the best horse doesnt always win the Slipper,often its the horse who simply stays out of trouble.
Many would argue that history is less important this year as the qualifying conditions have been changed due to EI.
Does that make it stronger or weaker.....only time will tell.

If we look at barrier history anyway,lets take as a sample any winner whose broken 1.10.....
Ive included Luskin Star who ran 1.10 & many say was the most dominant Slipper winner.
17 horses fit the category,8 winners drew barrier 10 or worse including 2 from barrier 14.
Of the last 8 winners,3 have drawn barrier 11 or worse.

Im not confident inside barriers will be such an advantage on a slow track.

I dont know Related's racing pattern well enough after 1 start to say he's a backmarker.
I do know that he should have won his 1st start clearly & Im not sure he needs to be a freak to win this.
Whatever happens Id rather be on him than the fave who is $4.8 & hasnt raced for 6 weeks.

seth

If I was going to pick one from out wide gate I'd have Portillo or Sugar Babe.

Even though Related should have won I am prpeared to risk him. Going into the slipper with only one run is a huge query.
 
Related is looking good for me, outside barrier is a worry, needs a good start.

Boxed Trifecta on Related, Reaan and Anatomica for me. And a fair whack on the nose for Related. If one, or hopefully both get up, I am having the next week off work!

Geez some long price winners so far, (race 3).

So how does everyone think the tracks playing so far?

The winners seem to be coming from midfield, with the backmarkers struggling to make up ground

Good win after missing the start. Von Costa De Hero looks like he will be something special.

I'm on Gallant Tess for race 8 at Rosehill.

Agree. The result may have been different if it was a dry track, having said that taking nothing away from Sebring who missed the start.

We could be in for a bumper 3yo season if Von Costa De Hero, All American, Augusta Proud, Sebring all train on.
