Thrilled he's allowed to ride over there. He SHOULD be allowed to ride everydamnedwhere.

Hope Miss Finland is really okay.....

Anyone know why Honor in War has been scratched???

[repent]

what am I missing?

Grey Swallow ran really well in the States this year.
hes been there for a while preparing for this race and seems to me to have a signficant class edge.
and im getting a decent price.
that Pompei horse scares me a little, but I bet Grey Swallow at shorter prices against better horses in the past.

i will take the 6-1 I just got.

maybe Im wrong and I just underestimate Australian racing.
but if he runs anywhere close to the race he did in the Manhattan, i think he wins.

FOO wins by a nose in his last racecourse appearance. What a story, and what a grand old boy he is! Racing to Win didn't stay, Grey Swallow was taken out of the gate by the vet to have a look; he was allowed to start but while he looked to be making a move before the last turn, he stopped and dropped out to last and stayed there.

yeah,
i nailed that one.
think my horse ran last.

never would have had the winner.
the horse had one win since he won this same race in 2003. thats not a good record.
