Mick Kent's Strikerate

[Oaksnaf]

I hope all Mick Kent followers got their fair share of winnings at Flemington.

Thanks for the heads up Lockyer24. Great start to a huge day. Williams spoke glowingly about My Emotion and should win some good races in the spring.

Exhale You - any word on the savabeel filly tomorrow race 1? Got a tip that it was beating stable 3yos and it might be sold to Hk if it wins

Sorry buddy, i was at the cricket all day yesterday and the footy last night.

Your tip was half right, she has been beating older horses in work but i don't believe there are any plans to sell her to Hong Kong interests (certainly hasn't been any talk of it).

Rick Jamieson owns the horse (the guy who owns Trick Of Light, Bubble Below and Varevees) and his sole focus is building his breeding empire, so i'd be totally shocked if he even entertained selling her.

Jamieson, through Dermot Farrington, is all about buying well bred fillies, getting some black type into them and then sending them to stud whilst they're still very young (you generally won't see any of his horses race beyond 5, or have more than 20-25 starts).

Mick doesn't race horses at 2, but My Emotion showed a lot early (although she's very green and still learning) and black type is vital for the Jamieson fillies/mares so he went against his own rule in the hope of pinching some relatively easy black type, and it worked.

She'll be tipped out now and will come back for the spring and probably be aimed at 7 or 8 furlong fillies races.

BTW I hope some got on with the TAB Fixed odds, apparently she was $10 early.
I didn't have a chance to get there early enough, so had to take $7.

There are two things people should know about Mick Kent.

1) He rarely wastes a run. Generally, if he presents a horse on raceday it's done enough work to earn a cheque.
2) He's excellent at placing his horses and would rather win a maiden at Seymour than run a solid 6th or 7th in town, so, if he brings a horse to town, either for it's first start or a sudden jump from the provincials, get on.

The golden rule strikes again.

My Emotion is $11 into $7 on fixed odds this arvo. Big watch!u

I got on at $13 Cheered it home!

Another Kent first starter wins easily, with Paint It Black winning by 2-3 lengths at Kyneton.

Oh and lads, Seymour, Tuesday, first starter, 2000m.

 

[Lockyer24]

I was on Was a great ride that got it that margin

 

[kirbycarlisle]

I was aboard and an impressive win at first start over 1450m.

 

[Dingster]

A double for Kent tonight. Both Montahlia and Blue Oscar strolled in. Missed the first one, but got on Blue Oscar.

Has My Emotion tomorrow.

 

[Bernie Quinlan]

I assume, from the lack of posting, that My Emotion didn't win today and that Kent hasn't done all that well since March last year.

Speaking of Kent does anyone what the hell happened to Banana Man?

 

[Ricketts]

I wonder about Banana Man all the time. And what about Darcarwasha? Injured again?

 

[Lockyer24]

I'm sure I saw Banana man nominated just the other day. Must have got injured and is about to come back...

 

[Syd Kennets]

Just heard that Fair Trade was sold to HK for $2 million.

I f*&%ing hate HK buyng our better horses.

Running today at Sha Tin, Race 8
