Thoroughbred racing

The way Winx dominates group 1 fields suggests she could well be the greatest horse ever. No caveats.

wouldnt it be great, after her third Cox plate, If they took her OS (Japan/US/UK??) to dominate all the other best horses?

That's what I'd love to see, but don't think they will do it unfortunately
 
Who wins over 1400 metres Winx or Black Caviar. i'll go for BC to just hold off a fast finishing Winx. What a race that would've been.
 
I know these 3 horses race in different distances but imagine a race


Black Caviar
Makybe Diva &
Winx Tigerman

Best three horses the last decade in a 1200 metre race???

You'd get a huge crowd waiting, poor old Makybe would get windburn though.
 
This is a few years old but I'd never seen it. Quality stuff. Horse race with UK Garage commentary.

Looking to Sydney tomorrow.

I talked up Foxplay last week, and I stand by what I said, but 2000 mudmetres is to far i reckon. I like Harlow Gold in that race.

I'll also back my 2nd favourite mare. Jameka. Up to her distance, has flippers, hard fit, good gate, elbows bowman steering.

She's a ****** beauty easy.

she sure is.

She will win the Caufield Cup again this year, whether its a handicap or WFA.

I think Foxplay will win the Doncaster next sat at very good odds.

I didn't see her race today, i see that she ran 4th, was it a good run?

It looked like a run with one eye on the Doncaster to me. As i suspected. Its classic Waller.

she didnt really have her burst at the end of 2000. She ran wide, quickened from 1200 and didnt really run on. She ran on OK though for a close 4th (with Harlow gold, who is a stayer)

If it was 1600, I believe she would have won. But with a tough 2000m under her belt and the 1600 in 7 days time, shes a very good chance.

Bowman sticking with her will be a very good guide. A soft track next saturday will be in her favour also.

Ive got a chunk at 50-1, which I feel very content with. Into 20's.

I should add that ive punted myself into auspicious form. Got the tigers +39.5 thursday, and reinvested bullishly on Jameka.

made a little visit to Dan Murphy's this arvo to build infrastructure, and made Mrs.Easy a margarita on extra anejo tequilla and cointreu.

Thats why we punt.

Should have run third, was checked by the runner up. Came from well back.

Sorry tm, inconclusive really. But wouldn't think it could win the Doncaster on that run.

*ET's review is a bit more comprehensive.

History, and the bookies would agree with you JB. But im still unusually bullish.

Going from the 2000 metres to the 1600 will be the tester easy. But Silent Sedition went from 1600 to winning the William Reid on Friday night over 1200, in what was a huge win.

its one of Wallers tricks. Gai does it too. I like it.
 
The bookies know something we dont about Foxplay.

wound out from 20 to 50 today.

either pulled up sore, or Wallers taking her to the Queen of the Turf (likely) at $9
