C'est La Guerre will like the wet track today.

That's like a trio of horses who I've probably lost the most on if you combine them.

(Sounded illiterate... you know what I mean!).

... and as far as the other two go?

Master O’Reilly (who won the 2007 Caulfield Cup) scratched due to colic so that's not exactly funny and Zabrasive is injured so again... no need to joke here.

Okay?

Weather update?

[my miss storm cat]

Yeah that would be great to get it from someone over there.

Magic? No Chance?

Looks like the sun is out there now, but it rained heavily during the first race and they had some hail just after it. The track is rated heavy, and no one is expecting it to get any better. 1:26.6 for the 1400 in the first race.

Thanks!

Ooh, race 2 was slower, even though it was a higher class race - 1:27.17.

Gonna be tricky then.

Thanks ed.
