had 20$ on criterion for the win and gust of wind $15 each way. Criterion ran a great race but never looked like the winner for me. I was however shattered about gust of wind, she absolutely flew home and if it wasn't for that mut dettori knocking her aside she would have easily placed maybe even won it.

Obviously the quality has dropped right off in the last compared to the eight but not a bad race to finish with.

Ended up with Tarquinn Shadow, a resuming stayer who probably will do her best work in a few runs time, however does have some decent fresh form and did trial well recently. Think the soft track suits as well.

The other one who I think is the real value runner is Ellie's Grey. Like, I know, it's one 2 races in 36 but this isn't very strong, gets in with 54, has Whitting on board and gets out to the distance where she has done some decent work.

No doubt she was quite poor second up, but she always is and think we could see a stark improvement in this.

Putting the punt aside its a great story. Darren Weir old school Aussie from.central casting and then story with Michelle Payne and rich family ballarat horse history. This line up beating sheiks and European landed money.
Weir, old school facade but using very new school methods. PoP done nothing before today and you'll find will do nothing ever again. Reminds me of Rogan Josh, somehow they just came good on the day. Boggles the mind how this thing was able to do that just at the right time. I'm guessing there'll be some properties down Ballarat that will have some thorough inspections in the next day.

*, massive effort by Ellie's Grey - absolutely posted the whole race and still was closing at the end.

Nice win by Tarquinn, got out to nice odds as well.

Nice way to finish off the day with two solid pick ups.

Hope EG got in for third to add some value into the tri.

Got there!

$6.10 winner. Was e/w on Ellies Grey and a good chunk that $1k~ tri.

There's my bank for Kyneton, if I get time to have a look - and of course, Oaks day.

Came into work today for a few hours, ended up hanging around and just working in between Flemington then Ascot races.

2.8 penalty rates and a few winners, well worth it ;)

Did anybody in the entire country give that horse a chance.
I did but that was almost 2 months ago.
Didn't think it was even worth mentioning given the US beat it with ease last time and told my mate he can pick anyone apart from POP in our 8 horse boxed tri :$
