I guess Tony needs to sit both of his jocks down together before big races

Yeah that might have been a good idea.

A six degrees of separation moment... Good luck to Sugar on Top, the former Mr. Jinky. He was trained by a Russell Cameron in NZ... am I crazy or isn't that who had Bulldozer / Borugino for a while after he left HK(?).

Anyway zero HK wins... the best he's ever done was 4th. He's in R1 with Douggie up (!).

To him and (good luck to) to 10 year old Rising Win who is making his 83rd start. (He's rated 14 which I think is officially the lowest I've ever seen, poor guy). 5 wins starting in 2003... isn't it's time to retire this gentleman?

Come home safe.

Bullish Win is a standby starter in R5.

Happy Zero to miss the Stewards Cup, Medic Power misses the Centenary Sprint Cup and Chui stood down...

Retired... Best Power and Rainbow Star.

Retired... 8 year old Global Win who is the former Jovial (Gai Waterhouse-trained), and Green Glory. Hope he's okay.

Horse Withdrawal for 27/01/2010 meeting - R4 Standby Starter Horse 1 GREEN GLORY (J177) has been scratched
25 January 2010
Race 4 Standby Starter Horse 1 GREEN GLORY (J177) has been scratched. (Reason: By order of Stewards)

My lock of the day... Happy Valley tomorrow, R7, Plan B.

R8 - Fluke and Hannah King Prawn, either order.
