Racing March Daily Thread: Cinderella would have no interest in this Slipper (Snorkel Required)

Scraping the bottom of the barrel for a thread title this month... Wayne Hawkes Analyses Your 3-Year-Old’s Stud Value was a bit too long

Anyway, apparently there’s some kind of All Star Mile this month!

Nothing sums up the joke that is Australian racing more than having the Newmarket, Challenge and Cantebury Stakes all on the same day.

Also noticed this from the turkeys at Racenet the other day

"Hawkes stable chasing second Group One Australian Cup"

"Hawkes’ father John won the greatest Australian Cup with the champion Lonhro in 2004."

Fair dinkum, he's writing a racing story and he doesn't even bother checking the fact that Octagonal also won it in 1997

In any case I'm not sure a squib like Lonhro falling in over Delzao is anywhere near the iconic Bonecrusher/At Talaq battle

2 of the most overated horses that have run in Australia

Fifty Stars an absolute monty at the 5s now that he has shown a skerrick of form. G1 WFA horse, won this race last year, 2nd to Arcadia Queen in the Spring over this course, taking on absolute garbage here. Time to push all the chips in boys.

The secondary Frenchie should lob a place at odds too showing what a cert old Papp was to run a race ☹

Yup - just what you wanted to see from the old boy in the Blamey on Saturday and was still $8 when they crossed the line and $6 as late as Sunday. Will absolutely murder these if he repeats that. Complete dartboard job if he doesn't win.

This.
Looks like Bivo and NS to bypass the Newmarket and run in Sydney really takes away some of the gloss of the race.

Let alone if they dodge a WFA G1 on the same fecking program they will be running at!

Also by nominating for the Canterbury Stakes it kills those punters who bet pre noms if they don’t accept

When do we think Victoria Quay will kick off her campaign (the horse that should have won the Oaks)?

She’s nommed for Morphetiville Guineas on Monday, so fair to presume soon

 

[iluvparis]

Rumours swirling this morning that the Squib will accept for the Newmarket (note he can accept in both states and still scratch from it).

However if he does accept there is going to be an absolute scramble for good lightweight jockeys as 80% of the field will then race with 52kg or less.

[iluvparis]

This is what a real handicap looks like with 15 kgs top to bottom - not the joke 5 we will end up with if the squib doesn't turn up

 

[iluvparis]

Squib by name; squib by nature

Sirius Suspect $8 third fav in the Newmarket... Idgi

Seriously one of the worst prices I've ever seen in a market - legitimate $80 shot

Apparently Kah is riding with no Nature Strip - maybe its that?!
