Must be. I prefer the name Saab Quality anyway, bring that back.

Ithasn't been called 'The Hotham' since 1978. I still catch myself calling it 'The Dalgety'

I've suddenly got a craving for the Craven A Stakes
Like Batavia (50kg) but rating is only 80 would have to win a couple of group races.....also stablemate Homesman with 53kg

Belgravia is a winner so he’d be ineligible for that race. The Hotham Hcp would be a better option
Why would he be ineligible

It's a joke - the Hotham is that race sportsbet ran last year for maidens to rival the Everest
Cheers ...
OOE interesting. Good to see the corps adjust their markets accordingly 
Withhold would be longer odds than it is now to even get a start let alone win it. Few others in the market gonna find it hard to get a run.

Finche now with Waller. Likely to make the field with 54kg. Lightly raced French horse with form around Avilius. Last start he comfortably beat Tiberian (who’s not in the same form this Euro season) and Called To The Bar (who later beat Kergolay winner Holdthasigreen).
How’s it likely to get in sitting at 42 in the OOE?

Only once seen a field greater than 8 and finished mid-pack behind Air Pilot which isn't super inspiring.
Against that got within 5 lengths of Cracksman last year!!!!!

The usual process of attrition. I see plenty ahead of him who are already highly unlikely. Add to that injuries, loss of form and changing target races.
For example, last year Wall of Fire and Thomas Hobson made it from positions 48 and 54 in the original order of entry. I think all of those on 54kgs will get in.

You are looking at the order of the weights not the OOE. They are European 3yos
La Trobe is 7 and Cross Counter is 22 so both are already in.

Going through the market last night, one I've not heard mentioned yet is Count Octive
Must admit know SFA about it

Dunno how much you want to know but been watching it and Duretto particularly for a while now. C Octave was a pretty big 2nd to Stradivarius at York, Balding said back then straight to the Cup no run before.
