Belmont R2 today
 

Oroya Gold finally broke his maiden status at Northam last start. Racing first-up he won the race easily by 4.5 lens with something in hand. A long overdue win considering he has now amassed prize money of $188,800!!

Up against a handy field today, goes up in weight & is racing 2nd-up but should acquit himself well imo.

Thought the jock went for him a bit early but other than that, looked to have every chance. Still, I'm expecting improvement next couple of runs.

*********Watch The Space*********
 

Is Amazing :D

Yep, much better runs this time in after failing dismally previous campaign. Good to see her getting back to her best!

Oroya Gold
 

Stewards report indicates connections [of Oroya Gold] will in future concentrate on races of a lesser distance [than 1400M)

Hayes to train Black Tom
 

Reported that 2005 Perth Cup winner Black Tom will make the trip to Melbourne to join the David Hayes stable. The aim will be to have one final crack at the Melbourne Cup.

Must say surprised by that bit of news, but a very interesting move to say the least!

so when does Black Tom go to Melbourne ?

(6) WE WONDER WHY

Well, Contentious Miss proved it no fluke by winning again Belmont Saturday, won by 3.25 lengths!! Thought the race fav, Galilei an ok run even though well beaten by Contentious Miss. No luck in running and was a solid run to get 2nd.

westman, yes a good collect again, just as well as my other 3 win bets were Black in Time, Collegain, and Kaleido grrrrrrr!

Surely you had some on for a place party?!!

watsonnek, nah, wish I had. This is a win plan that I run betting week to week small stakes in comparison to my place bets. Collegian just happened to qualify for the place bets as well but coincidence only.

Hi partypooper. I've noticed that you spend time in the Philippines (as per a few of your past posts). Curious the state of horse-racing in that country, assuming they have horse-racing.

suds, yes there is regular races in Manila, but my place is in San Isidro in the central Visayas a long way from there. I am able to keep in touch to a certain extent with Aussie racing via the net, but it's a bout 20 k's on a very bumpy road which turns to sludge when it rains so I just don't bother.

But as far as the state of the racing is concerned , knowing how everything else works there I would say it would be rotten to the core all the way up the Cheif stewards' cousin to the 10th degree, 49 times removed!!

Belmont trials yesterday
 

Impressive Stats continues to trial well (winner heat 18 yesterday) although well beaten first-up at Belmont earlier this month. Set to start in the listed H.G. Bolton Sprint on Saturday, a race he won back in 2005. On the limit, you would think he'll be competitive on Sat.

Yeah the Bolton should turn out a top race.
Arctic Park, Is Amazing, Mercury Halo, Impressive Stats, Always A Devil & Idyllic Prince, just to name a few!

Gobiton in with some chance. Finished just behind Is Amazing last year (Is Amazing ran 3rd). Meets Is Amazing 1.5kgs better. That horse will be one of the favs Saturday.

We won't be seeing Always A Devil on Saturday! Out for at least 12 months with what could be a career-threatening tendon injury!!

Interestingly blinkers come off Gobiton on Saturday!

He's the final field for the Bolton.

Wrong again!! irony is I actually backed the winner with one of my "mechanical" plans, racing.............

Thankyou watsonnek, been out spelling but now back.

Pure Glory 3rd, Magic Of Silver last all the way (suggest an injury or like there). Silver Ambush scr. Bannerkens 3rd. Diamond Grey 1st :) So Long Syd 3rd-last. Yaya Lad scr. Star Laser runner-up beaten a head @ 20/1 (great place divi).

Let Go Thommo (recovering from an abscess to his off-fore hoof) won't be returning home to spell. Instead will spell at Mornington & resume racing in Melbourne in the spring.

Up with the pack early but weakened last bit to be beaten 2.25lens.

Trainer Darren McAullife has since announced Impressive Stats retirement.

Impressive Stats won 11 races from 35 starts and earned over $268,000 in prize money.
