W Pike
 

No joy today, sure to gain from the experience. Treble to Zac Purton including a longshot.

Yes, Pike getting valuable experience now, then be ready for the new season.

At Belmont on the weekend a couple of notable runs. Tudor Lad was very impressive, finishing sprint like a good one. Only had 6 starts for 4 wins.
Anyone that backed Can Time in the stayers race should follow up next time in the same class. Nearly everything went against it in-running. At its previous start
easily beat the same bunch. Also lightly raced and new to staying.

..got the winner..not much else..

Yeah schonegg, Tudor Lad did win well. Likewise Star Encounter. And what about the Fish riding 4 winners, including the last 3 of the day!

Change of plans. Universal Ruler will continue with his racing career. In a deal struck with prominent WA stud Durham Lodge who will take a share in the ownership of the 4yo entire, he will continue to race on as a 5yo before being retired to stud in 2010.

We have a couple of visitors from the David Hayes stable racing at Belmont this Saturday. Journey in the Listed Belmont Oaks & former sandgroper Hifalutin in the Listed York Stakes. Both to be ridden Brad Parnham. Should make things interesting for the locals.

I think Journey will win comfortably, & Hifalutin & New Spice look good value in the other race,

Was the fav for tomorrow's York Stakes, but has been scratched. Maybe the stud career is back on again. Have no idea.

I watched the video of its Moe win amd it was in reverse on the turn but then found plenty and ran away. Was in the wet so the track should suit at Belmont.



Hat, was reading the news and McAullife doesn't want it to race on the wet track. But its all systems go for the spring in Melbourne.

belmont r2..my top 3..black habit..obtrusive..sleepwalk..at odds..tivation..

Lovely odds, Journey. Universal Ruler would have been hard pressed to defeat Roman Time today. Nice run Guyno with the big weight.
