Do we believe what we saw in the Turnbull?
Obviously a very talented horse,has won to 2400m,started fave in a Railway (Gp 1,btn a length) & 4th in a Perth Cup.

Im struggling to remember a better C Cup trial through a Turnbull placing.(Diatribe?)
Any way you analyse it,he was fantastic.Have been keen on E Queen for a while but this effort was enormous.

What do you think?

all us west aussies are hoping he can repeat that performance in the CC. I watched him win in a dead heat in the cox stakes last year (over 2400m if i recall correctly), which is the biggest lead up race 2 the perth cup, which his run for 4th was pretty dam good. good to see his talent on display over east :thumbsu:
 
Now really have no idea what I'm talking about, but somehow I can't see it running to that standard again. Just my two cents.
 
Doubles bookie on 927 this morning said the stable had $750K to $1k to win the Cups double when noms came out.
Bearing in mind that most bookies add a zero when on air,Id still say theyve been over that replay a few times since Saturday.

It was a super Caulfield Cup trial.... I'll be taking Scenic Shot and Eskimo Queen in the Caulf Cup...

Does anyone know what weight it's got and will Katsidis be riding it?
 
So what makes you think they wont Ron?
Which current stars will beat them home in your opinion?

Let me ponder those questions while i continue to destroy my poker game. Very thought provoking i must say. Initial reaction says Maldy and Master O will crush all but prehaps i'm biased due to past winnings from them...

I will say i thought Maldy would win the CC in the Autumn, dropped off him in the spring but his last run could not have been more impressive if he tried. :)

By the way Seth, do you punt professionally?
 
I agree with Maldivian & have great respect for MO although I think he's a Flem horse.
C Cup in the last decade has been more of an on pacers race.

Not on thoroughbreds Ron,very few can nowadays IMO.
So much info is now freely available,no edge left.

This is not true in harness racing ...dont tell anyone though ok?
Trots are rigged.....bad punting option.

Iv'e seen enough dodgy race tactics to really peeve me off. My latest gripe is with that prick in W.A, Cortopassi when he got "Franco the man" beat twice in a row 4 and 5 starts ago, absolutely blatant cheating....

Then we have me putting 1000 on "Spurs are Flyin" at Newcastle, misses the start by 400 metres and the stewards declare it a fair start. I'm sorry but thats cheating as well and makes people run away from the sport.

I could go on and on here.... I miss Queensland harness racing, so much more cleaner... Still, even with the crap in trots, can still make good money ...

What do you think of a horse called bears little partner Seth?

A few thoughts on HR around Aust:
WA harness is like Ben Hur,last man standing stuff.
I refuse to bet anywhere a horse can go from an M0 in Melb & within 3 months outstay Flashing Red in an Aust Pacing Championship.

Dont bet at Newcastle,the last bookie pulled the pin there a few months ago.

You know what youre gunna get in Qld,I raced a horse til recently up there.
Bought him from NSW to win his M0 & he did.....excellent.

BLP,is that the horse Rita used to have here that went to Qld?

seth
 
haha yer, Tealsby Karita is now struggling to beat rubbish, makes you wonder doesn't it?

Newcastle is a good venue, really good betting track and Formosa is a gun...

BLP was indeed Ritas, i mention him because well obviously i'm his fan but hes a great money spinner when he can find the front in ordinary fields. Pays well too, noone ever gives him any respect .. :)
 
It might be a good venue but when even the bookies wont go there,its time to re-assess.
Amazing how TK nearly died a couple of months after his break out wins.

seth
 
stathi katsidis- oozing with confidence, as always..haha
although he has earnt my respect as a rider this spring carnival, i rate him now!!

i never have followed qld racing in depth, but i always noticed he used to ride stacks of winners. always had problems with drugs too!!
