Oh!

Thumbs Up!

Fay Fay wins the Derby and not to add something sad to such fine results but I don't ever remember seeing two breakdowns (I have not watched any replays at all yet and won't watch those two, but I hope Dr. Win and Mark Up are okay.

Ed please tell me you played him!

Hope you did well, Bill!

Racing Incident Report
On arrival at the Start, REAL SPECIALIST had its right front plate refitted. REAL SPECIALIST was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. PACKING TYCOON blundered at the start. MILITARY ATTACK was slow to begin. SMART GIANT began awkwardly. DOMINANT was crowded for room at the start between REAL SPECIALIST and MASQUERADER which was taken out by ZAIDAN. Near the 1800 Metres, SMART GIANT got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of MILITARY ATTACK. When the tempo slackened approaching the 1400 Metres, REAL SPECIALIST was awkwardly placed close to the heels of FAY FAY and shifted out away from the heels of that horse. After this, REAL SPECIALIST was allowed to improve to race outside the lead. After the 1000 Metres, ZAIDAN was left racing without cover. Passing the 850 Metres, DOMINANT became unbalanced when checked away from the heels of SWEET ORANGE. DAN EXCEL, which was following, was checked in consequence. After the 500 Metres, DOMINANT was awkwardly placed close to the heels of DAN EXCEL. Near the 200 Metres, PACKING TYCOON was shifted out away from the heels of REAL SPECIALIST. MILITARY ATTACK had difficulty obtaining clear running until near the 200 Metres. SWEET ORANGE had difficulty obtaining clear running until approaching the 100 Metres. LIBERATOR was not able to obtain clear running until after the 100 Metres and because of this was not able to be tested. Over the concluding stages, ZAIDAN was hampered when taken wider by FAY FAY (D Whyte) which shifted out. D Whyte was advised to exercise care. MILITARY ATTACK, which was racing outside of ZAIDAN, was steadied when awkwardly placed inside the heels of SAME WORLD. Because of this, MILITARY ATTACK was not able to be properly tested in the run to the finishing line. When questioned, W C Marwing stated that he had been under strict instructions not to be racing wide and without cover. He said for this reason passing the 700 Metres he elected to remain racing on the back of SAME WORLD rather than shifting out at that time when he was aware that DAN EXCEL was improving quickly to his outside. He said had he have shifted to the outside of SAME WORLD at this time, this would have resulted in SWEET ORANGE being left racing without cover and he felt that this would have been contrary to his instructions. He added that in the Straight tight running was available to SWEET ORANGE at various stages, however, in his opinion, the horse was reluctant to proceed between SAME WORLD and DAN EXCEL. He said it was not until after the 100 Metres that SWEET ORANGE was able to obtain comfortable racing room between SAME WORLD and DAN EXCEL. After the race, it was reported that MILITARY ATTACK had sustained a minor wound to the right hind leg and had lost the right hind plate. Also after the race, it was reported that SWEET ORANGE had sustained a cut above the right hock. A veterinary inspection of DOMINANT after the race did not show any significant findings. SWEET ORANGE, FAY FAY and SAME WORLD were sent for sampling.

Watched the replay. Look like many had chances with 200 M to go. Whyte is amazing. #14 finishing 2nd was complete surprise as he had never run a figure even close to a winning number. Had 3 of 4 but no good.

[my miss storm cat]

Yeah he is amazing. Prebble and Chadwick too.

I looked to see entries for Sunday since you'll be there and oh lucky you! Looks like a really nice field with Cerise Cherry, Crwon Witness, Corp. Jones, and Penglai Xianzi (say that three times fast).

Have a wonderful time!

[Bill K]

Well I ge in late Thursday night. Will send you some of the pub from there on Friday or Saturday. Will be there for 2 months so will enjoy the Wed. Sun races.

[my miss storm cat]

Oh awesome thank you! Wish I could go in your suitcase.

Hey did you guys see this?

I don't want to watch cause of the breakdown but I have to post the prices... like 138 or something to 1? Try to hit something like that while you're there.

Not sure what you saw but really no breakdown. Looks like Dr. Win ran up on heels and clipped on front leg. Jock pulled him up. Will race again. Flash Knight bled. Both horses will eventually be able to return to the races.

[my miss storm cat]

I didn't see anything cause I didn't watch it but after seeing your comments I will.
