Racing WS Cox Plate 2023

[Jugada]

Tenuous rankings after having a look at todays races

1. Fangirl - Has never raced beyond a mile in open grade and has to be a huge possibility Cotton Wool Waller just sets her for one of the mile races.
2. Alligator Blood - Ticked the 2000m box today by winning well. Form out of the race was questionable but we already know he has a high enough level at his best. As an on speed runner at the Valley will likely start favourite for mine.
3. Gold Trip - If he backs up I think he is the best horse but he will be sitting near last at the Valley and likely running up the back of them like last year.
4. Romantic Warrior - Not getting the juice in the price for his average first up run.
5. Mr Brightside - Has class but dont think he stays 2000m at all.

Confidence levels very low though and in such an open edition feels like we could get a Pinker Pinker, FOO, Shamus Award type winner

What a terrible ride on Fangirl.

Terrible ride or terrible track?

Time to blow the place up.

 

[Peter Doherty]

What a race!!

 

[Chism]

The s**t track was the only thing that beat Fangirl.

Demolish this abortion of a track.

What a terrible ride on Fangirl.

Has been slaughtered it’s whole career

 

[iluvparis]

What a race!!

Run it 10 times again you’d get 5 different winners

 

[blackspider]

Fangirl was absolutely bolting. Never saw daylight. Sums up my day with so many s**t rides....

Exactly.

Best horse rarely wins and betting at the Valley just throws up to many variables.

What a terrible ride on Fangirl.

As soon as Purton put it on the fence after passing the straight first time around, you knew it was fcuked.

 

[Aussie Assault]

Cant take anything away from the winner though. He grinded away in the straight probably a horse or two wider than any other winner on the day with the way the track's played.

 

[Jugada]

Could tell what was going to happen with Fangirl a long way out. Tough watch but oh well

Gold Trip another great Cup trial

Yeah Pinstripped was a problem there, was just hoping it would either go forward or settle behind Fangirl.

FANCAT

 

[Bombers32]

What a race!!

A super race. Great rides by J Mac and Willo. Brightside is an absolute ripper.

 

[Gaston]

No one watched Contenders this morning?
Dr Turf said Fangirl had no hope, will miss the kick just a little and be 4 pairs back the fence with no clear run.

Go the bubble boy!!!!

Thats where Purton should have just let him sit 3 wide so that Allen would have had to do one of the two.

 

[Sockeye]

A super race. Great rides by J Mac and Willo. Brightside is an absolute ripper.

Brightside had the softest run of the race, leader even shifted out to give him the rail run and he still couldn't get it done. Give Fangirl that run and she wins by 2.

 

[bigblueboy]

They settled as most predicted.
Best horse won.

Had a great run along the rail. Was never wining from last.

 

[iluvparis]

They settled as most predicted.
Best horse won.

I’d say there were 5 or 6 best horses there today and a different one would salute every time

 

[Hawksboy72]

Mate had Duias going for a bit in a multi just to run top 3...he's not happy

Rider 9 tenths of the problem today

Worst ride of the race by a mile

He should be. She went 120% as well as she could

 

[Bombers32]

What if this and what if that.

JMac said today that Romantic Warrior was still underdone … reckon it would win 8/10 against those if fully right.
