[sethlad]

Backed Toronado & convinced he was about to go straight past the winner.
Sadly Dawn Approach didnt cause the interference

Fantastic carnival, beats listening to Bruce or having to wait 2 minutes to watch the damn race live.

Haven't seen Francesca or equivalent yet, though.

My Catch or Ben Hall at double figures to avoid a whitewash on day 1

Is there a way to view times of previous runs on racing post. I can't really find any detailed form

 

[HurricaneHazza]

so whos put 10k+ on Red Cadeaux on S-TAB? it's starting 1.70 on S-TAB with 22k in the pool LOL

 

[iluvparis]

Sorry all - with the 1.5 hour commute door-to-door each day, plus doing the form with no days off (as opposed to Flem) and all the post race dinners I haven't had time to post selections for the remaining days. I'm sure you all coping ok without me.

 

[KardiniaPark]

Humble brag.

 

[iluvparis]

Disappointing interest has waned after Day 1 on here - it is a fantastic carnival and infinitely superior to anything that can be put up by Australian racing - including cup week.

 

[KardiniaPark]

Snobby brag.

 

[rideclutch]

Sea Siren pls y u do dis?

Impressive winner the grey

Infinitely superior in what way?

 

[iluvparis]

1 - better quality of horseflesh across the board (maybe excluding sprinters)
2 - every race means something and has a lot of history behind - no 0-89 races filling out the card to get to 10 races
3 - only 6 races per day - means there is a big focus on every race and nothing gets lost in the program
4 - 2:30pm start - none of this bullshit pre-noon racing
5 - huge racetrack with a straight mile - plenty of room for all runners - not like the pokey Australian tracks (Flemington excluded)

The only downside is that there is no day off for a mid-carnival recovery.

Great to see these 2 clash in the Sussex last night & Toronado turn the tables with a clear run



seth

 

[iluvparis]

Yup - they are developing an amazing rivalry. As a Dawn Approach fan I thought he was home when he kicked a couple clear inside the last furlong, but Richard Hughes is a master at riding Goodwood and Toronado showed a tremendous turn of foot to run him down.

Next clash perhaps the QEII on Champions Day? Although would love to see them both go to France to take on Intello!

 

[sethlad]

Toronado runs in the Juddmonte at York at 12.40am where he clashes with Al Kazeem
Tune in if you can,should be another cracker
