I wouldn't listen to that guy........ clueless.

She ran bad didn't she. I'm putting it down to the bad ground up at Randwick, looks pretty soft there. Closers track today I reckon. They went too quickly in both 2yo races.

LOL you said she was fast but u forgot to tell me it was only able to run 200 mtres :-) oh well thats racing ;-) Hoping to make some back on Vigor , O'Lohnro, Ontessa
:-), Both briefed & champaign sack from my book :-) which is getting bigger & bigger with sacked horses!!!!

Cheers to Efficient!

Does Our Man Still Have 1 Win in Him ?
I'm Banking He Does & @ $4.20 Fixed Price I was happy to unload on him ;-)

You should have listened to me mate.

Avenue was the horse to unload on ;)

GuTTed :-(

Barrier draw for the Caulfield Cup...

http://www.virtualformguide.com/cgi-...1014pcaulf.txt

I am so Sorry my beautiful miss I hate caulfield cup with a passion never had a interest in it ,Nothing about this years cup or the other years has sparked a interest in me & with gifted speed missing this & heading for the cox plate it's really just a non event :-(

I'm looking forward to seeing an English trained 1-2 :)

I like the two brits here a lot as well, with a saver on Master O'Reilly!!

Awww don't apologize! :)

Not even a sentimental pick? Takeover Targets half brother or the NZ girl (how do you all think she'll do)?

* * *

Oh nice! The one time I don't wish him luck...

Good for him!

http://www.virtualformguide.com/cgi-...1014herede.txt

I think she'll win. :D

Well, I sure hope so anyway.

HaHaHa isnt that what they said about the melbourne cup last year ? Hope they come with a better game plan this year ;-) Yeah i Do Have a sentimental favorite..............
.13 LIGHT VISION (NZ) (Robert Smerdon) 19 52.5 Luke Nolen
Terrible,Terrible Barrier but ill still have 20 on him & wish him Luck

I'm a big Cima fan but I'm not seeing him win here. Maybe I'm crazy. Like Kirklees too but same thing... not here.

Rooting for Sarrera (9 years old, almost put down twice, trained by Moroney. A grand old boy! ) and Ms. Daffodil (I'd be able to hear ed screaming halfway around the world :D . I do think she'll hit the board).

That said... C'est La Guerre to win. :$:

I do think you're crazy. Cima should be too good here. A horse who can beat the likes of Conduit and go onto finish fourth in an Arlington Million. Although the Caulfield Cup is still a Gr1, this does represent a big drop in grade for him.

Kirklees is the ideal sort of horse for this, a genuine group performer, ideal distance.

I am pretty confident about seeing both of them hit the board.
