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

Is the Coolmore the highlight race Sat?

If you get kicks from finding which 3yo to lay the living shit out of in the Autumn...yes...but sheesh - these are just a bunch of very ordinary absolute turn takers aren't they?

Empire Rose clearly the race of the day - basically only Probabeel and VE missing from a true mares Championship of Australasia.

Anti Golden Eagle commentary here

 

[Jugada]

Yeah I’m also looking forward to MJ saluting after half this board was sending her into retirement at the start of the year

And sadly they will be correct as she fails to win a single race in that period and is no longer even the best mare in her backwater state. My sympathies friend.

However you want to slice it-
The Golden Eagle is a cracking race.

Bit like a honkers race - outstanding betting - questionable quality of horseflesh for the purist.

I think it’s pretty even, while not the best race I am most keen for the derby. Love the coolmore stud stakes most years!

 

[Turnover]

King Magnus in the cantala. 30/1w 8/1p. Maybe outclassed, but willing to see.

Is the Coolmore the highlight race Sat?

It's my highlight tomorrow and especially seeing In The Congo go around. Would take one of him over any other three horses combined for the entire card at Flemington.

 

[Turnover]

Jungle Magnate in the derby looks ok each way, gotta love an m price outsider.

The mares race is the race of the Carnival. Half the field of the Cantala are mares who couldnt get into the race.

Big go for one on Tuesday.

Won its maiden tonight at Cranbourne at $5. Movement probably market adjustment rather than weight of money.

Anyway onto Derby Day

I think biggest blowout is Clyde

Eustace non committal this morning about Gold Trip lining up today

2000m on a rattling rosehill when possibly not right. You’d have to be brave

And it’s out

 

[Gavin Excell]

Says a lot about this years crop of 3yo fillies when none competing Coolmore or the Empire Rose

 

[Gavin Excell]

Going to take on Fan Girl based on no other view that the fillies are not in hunt

 

[iluvparis]

If this was the UK and Hitotsu was trained by Aiden I reckon it would be a clear $3 fave as they go straight from the Guineas to the Derby all the time. If there is a horse in the Derby that is going to come out and utterly spank them today I think it’s the one.

Same. Reckon it's a query at 1600 and are also concerned about a possible leader bias at the start of the day.

Based on what?
