Racing October Daily Punt: Plates / Cups and Corona Virus.

[FallingLiefs]

WA racing benefits from the time zone differential when theres nothing to play
It's Albury, Sunshine Coast stuff
Good luck to those who can decipher the form.

Pass

I genuinely don't know what your complaint is, faves win too little, outsiders too much? can disprove that in an instant but my offer remains if you want to give up being upset that you don't back winners there.

Fair enough
I think I'll just pass on it all

It’s a terrible racetrack for top class racing

Hopefully the track upgrade eventually happens and the straight moved to the school side will massively help.

Don't understand all this complaining about WA. Easily my most profitable state and easily the 3rd strongest racing state in Aus.

Bit like saying Stewart Sutcliffe was the 5th Beatle though

Is WA still in Aus? McGowan pushing hard to rectify this the last few months.

Unfortunately yes, we have to stick around to pay for all the lockdowns in the east.

Is this genuine - The Classique Legend Stakes?

Yeah its always named after the previous winner of the Everest and gives a bonus to Everest horses - PVL's attempt to stop horses going to the Darley Classic

Surely the only development would involve a housing estate. Would be worth 100s of millions.

 

[TheJanuaryMan]

It's basically HK fishbowl racing without the glamour

...or waiting 10 minutes past start time for them to get around to loading them into the barriers.

WA provincial racing is broadly Animal Keno.

 

[iluvparis]

Neesham import Top Rank still $51 on sportsbet for the Classique Legend (been hit already on TAB and Lads) - definitely more of a miler but $50s much too big a price if it lines up (obviously still doubtful to some extent) and won't start anywhere near that - worth a small nibble

 

[HeathySure]

lol European sprinters

 

[Jugada]

Would be genuine lols if a middling Euro miler knocked off our BEST IN DA WORLD sprinters

yep knocking down the old stand to build apartments. new stand to be on the school side with the straight going up to a decent 400 m.

good luck with that. They are as competitive as our stayers are against the Europeans

 

[Jugada]

Hard to imagine Baaeed and Poetic Flare form lines wont be too good for our 4yos

Was it only last year where the closest horse to Battaash in the UK outside Blue point was Houtzen.

 

[iluvparis]

DEPICTION doing his best Anamoe impression catting it up in the last 100 at 1.20 at Hawkebury #godolphinthings

 

[HeathySure]

Houtzen who was 3 lengths off our best. Last one to go over before was Merchant Navy? a good average 3yo.

As for the Golden Eagle? The ones that are racing are your mid range milers who look to have staying blood to my eye. Its not going to cut it in this race even if they drew a barrier. It wouldnt shock me if all of them won multiple races here over longer distances (do they stay in Australia?) but they are going to get gapped in this race even if its not strong quality

Hawkesbury tri r8
3/5,8,4,7/5,8,4,7,12,1,11

LoI is a genuine tweener over there who will probably stretch to a mile against ours.

Maximal is a miler to 2000m but laughable to suggest that our milers would be too good for theirs.

Both out of mares with sprinting bloodlines doesn’t scream stayers to me. Both should be highly effective at this trip

fine
but our milers are equal to theirs, and their mid rangers are not good enough,. Very confident he wont finish top 6

 

[TBellicious]

Cannot for the life of me figure out the strategy behind the Maher Eustace camp and Hitotsu. Can't figure it out at all. Why????
