wasn't Tacit Agreement the horse from CRC that was sold and was involved in a riding inquiry. He is a need the lead type horse and I guess that is not how horses are ridden in Australia. He had some serious health issues and I believe is now retired after getting drummed down under a few weeks ago.

Congrats! Well done!

I haven't gotten bets down the last 2 races, I've tried to place just before post and Xpressbet is apparently too busy.

Think I'll get my Cup bets down now!

I love it, I'm addicted to Aussie trifectas - you have to love the odds on horses with excellent chances!

Trainer saw a bit of enlarged vein near fetlock, let vets examine, just a tad of soreness, so pulled by trainer.

don't know yet, he looks so-so but not thrilled with the form.
still looking. others have mentioned Lazer Sharp for a longshot which i'm starting to like. also Purple Moon.

in this race i'm using Volcada, need him on the board to have a chance of cashing.

I've really got to make more of an effort to get more involved with the Australian racing. It's something i know very little about. Seems like a fantastic racing nation, though.

The time difference makes things almost impossible to keep up to date with what's going on. I greatly enjoy reading all the posts from everyone who is knowledgable on the sport 'down under'. I don't post much because i will just looks stupid and ask far too many questions

Thanks to Moodwalker, Ed, Cardus and MMSC, also ArlJim who seems like a betting expert down under!
