Thoroughbred racing

Dare Leysy say it - very well punted by Redford. She is a great horse isn't she - 57 Kgs in a hot race.

Thought she was struggling a touch this campaign, but very wrong. J Mac is a gun isn't he.

Incentivise lost no admirers. Monster run to sit outside leader in a fast race and keep finding. He'll be feeling the run today.

Not sure if she really was out of form. With a bit of luck, could well have won the Cox Plate,

Bit of a post race health query on Incentivise apparently. Pulled up lame. Further scans. Hopefully ok.
Watching a replay yesterday, I thought he wobbled a bit entering the straight for the last time, he looked to change stride not long after that. It may be when he got injured, it was a gutsy run.
 
A cracking Mackinnon Stakes field on Saturday. A field of 10, 8 of them group 1 winners. Should be easy picking the winner :)

if the half inch predicted comes on Saturday,

Collette will be unbeatable.

it is a cracking field, but they are all at mad monday, while the little mud lark mare is doing the gf parade

A 90% chance of 5-15ml, most likely in the afternoon and evening.

Tricky. 30km/h northerlies but humid so may not be too drying before possible rain. May have to wait a bit to get a feel on the range of the state of the track. Get it right and you may be grinning.

Looking forward to the Mackinnon today. Feel I’m obliged to lift Zaaki out of its Nobet Pays curse and re establish its form. But Collette is a beauty and with rain on the way will be tough to beat. Then there’s that pesky Mo’unga as well (gee I hate that name).

Will continue to evaluate. Should be a beauty.
 
Big news today folks.
Tys is a part owner of a horse running at Flemington on Stakes day this afternoon.
It is called Schwoon.
Running in the last.
Schwoon has run twice for a first and a second. This will be a step up.
In its first it ran sideways for the last 100 meters.
In its second it was badly checked.
Odds are 44 to 1.
Last race..5.50 I think.
Worth a place bet maybe.
Good luck TJ.

Just watched it's replays, looks to have some ability.
Laid out in its first start when given a hit with the whip in the left hand, and laid in it's 2nd start when hit with the right hand.
Good luck.

Thanks Pete&Tys and Tigerman. First horse I've owned to run in the city, and on stakes day. Will be in there with the brother and brother in law. Will be a great day.

Tigerman, you're right, he's still very green. Not sure how he will go down the straight and few grades up, but let's see. Shae Eden the trainer didn't want to go city just yet, but after his ride at Sale Jye McNeil said he's city class and we should head in there., so we're having a throw at the stumps... it's a great sport to be a part of.

Seen worse at the odds. Will have a nibble. Good luck.
 
The weather will dictate things in the MacKinnon. If it rains, it's Zaaki or Colette. If not, Mo'unga or Hungry Heart.
