Not a bad run by Bridgestone in the Norman Robinson at Caulfield on Saturday. Hard to see him turning the table on Shamoline Warrior in the Derby but should do ok the extra distance & at Flemmo.

Your blackbook has been prepared for tomorrow's racing and we wanted you to know that you have 40 runners which will be racing.
Here are the details for you:

Huge wraps on Waratah's Secret following his win in the Belgravia last Saturday. Was most impressive, smashing the race record and going close to the track record. Only his 3rd start, and did it at both ends of the race as well. The current debate is just how much further (distance) he can go, with the Guineas just around the corner. |

RIP Dark Target
Once it led seemingly travelled well, but faded badly in the straight. Interestingly when being unsaddled there wasn't indication of a severe internal problem.
Only had 18 starts for 8 wins and 7 placings, was a fast sprinter and holds the fastest recorded 600m sectional in the state with 31.93. From the Stewards : DARK TARGET (P. Harvey) – After leaving the mounting enclosure following the race, the gelding collapsed on the track and expired. When questioned regarding the poor performance, rider explained that the gelding had been slow into stride, however mustered early pace and was able to lead unchallenged. He further advised that the gelding was under pressure prior to straightening and tired from thereon. He also stated that the gelding felt normal in its action and behaviour prior to, during and when unsaddling the gelding. Trainer Mrs C. Stelmach advised that the gelding had been working well in the lead-up to today’s race and was normal prior to the race. The Veterinary Surgeon advised that the gelding was found to have a cardiac arrhythmia on returning to the mounting enclosure and a preliminary veterinary examination disclosed that the gelding collapsed and expired due to a primary cardiac event. The gelding was subsequently transported to Murdoch University where it will undergo an autopsy to determine the exact cause of this occurrence. |
Very sad news schonegg and comes as a complete shock.
Read somewhere something similar happened to another lesser-performed steed recently, over there, was trained by Paul Jordan I think. On a happier note nice eastern state debut by former sandgroper It'llbefantastic. Only a maiden today but did it pretty well. |
Yeah, not a nice outcome, guys, but that’s racing as they say. Some good horse-flesh racing at Ascot this Saturday. In particular looking forward to the return of Danny Beau & his clash with Ma Ma Machine.

Couple of stars on show at Ascot
The 1400m Fairetha Stakes is a stepping stone to the 1600m WA Guineas. Tomorrow the brilliant Waratah's Secret is a $1.4 shot to lead all the way. Don't understand why they've taken the blinkers off though. Distance should be ok, dam is by a Zabeel mare. Well worth watching this race for future notes.
The Asian Beau is a good race. I'm knocking Kasabian. On the up, in great form, but needs to step up again. I'll back Grand Nirvana-Elliotto. Colour Correct the favorite an obvious chance but may not get the same easy run as last couple starts. Best race of the day is the last. Track record holder Danny Beau(9wins 14starts) returns after a long spell, went ok in a trial. Will it lead and keep out Vain Raider? Ma Ma Machine drawn 8 is the other big chance, going for 5 straight. Sparks to fly! |
Scenic Shot wins the Mackinnon
Well done Scenic Shot / Dan Morton, thoroughly deserved!

Well the clash didn't eventuate. Danny Beau was a late scratching (found to be lame in the off hind) & Ma Ma Machine performing below par. |
Nice eastern states debut by Snip Esprit at Flemington today. Formerly trained by Spencer Knight at Ascot, now trained by John Symons and Sheila Laxon at Seymour.

Lee Steere Stakes
An ok field for this 200k race. Pace should be only average which suits the obvious two, Megatic and Idyllic Prince. Tip 3-1.
In R2 Moneghetti should settle a little closer than last time and win. |
It'llbefantastic

Did you butter-up, RJ? Great odds! |

Another good performance by Idyllic Prince, schonegg. Just got there from Tarzi (top effort from that bloke imo). You might remember Tarzi was also runner-up last year, behind Marasco. Keytomoney not a bad run either. Megatic looked to have every chance. Your mate London pulled-up worse for wear. |
Quote:
hat, owner greed has stuffed up London. Instead of racing through the classes where he was eligible for Rating Bands less than 86 or so, they jumped him in open class. He won in at first attempt. Great. But his Handicapper Rating then jumped about 20 points, making him ineligible to race in those 40-50k (R86 or less) races for a while. Even worse, after yesterdays poor run the Rating won't drop :confused: |
yeah..corporate sam a great hit..denning..like schonegg said..hope you had some..

Nice looking programme coming up for Ascot this Saturday. Including the Listed Jungle Mist Classic (1200m), Group III Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m), Group III R.J. Peters Stakes (1500m) & the Group II WA Guineas (1600m).

Gee! my post just dissappreaed so here is the final try: I notice that you blokes on this thread are way ahead of my thoughts but, I am here in WA and I notice certain things so here we go:
I notice that whenever "Darren Macauley" ignores an obvious chance .....say like "Highest Honour" today (his radio tips not in first 4 HUH!) Then very often it is the winner......... makes you think! |
hey party, agree with ya, maybe he doesn't study form. I think he has the best voice in Australia, but his accuracy and reading of the race is often disappointing, and calling a photo finish correctly has been his achiiles heel.
Many examples, but one just yesterday. Not sure if you saw/heard r2 won by Scary Movie. He concentrated on Bizet winning the race up until a few strides before the line, when he suddenly mentioned the 2 horses which were stalking the leaders throughout and were real chances for most of the straight. Anyway the carnival is hotting up on Saturday, will check in with a few tips before then. |

G'day schonegg, yes I agree with all that you say here, in fact I have been on the recieving end of a falsly called winner that was 2nd..... grrrr most annoying, but my main concern that the example that I sited is NOT alone I've noticed it many times, and like,........ I wonder was Mr McCauley actually "on" Highest Honour" ?????? I suspect so............... |

Yep & yep! And a little tomorrow as well. |
Great days racing at Ascot with perfect racing conditions predicted
R1 - Tricky race, maybe Trustee Brown eachway. Raced forward at first start, some speedsters drawn inside it though.
R2 - Kim Trader at 3.1 is too short, have a break. R3 - Too many queries. For Trifectas/First4s include Xaar Boom. R4 - Early speed drawn in and out suits the stalkers Shock Value/Moonlight Drive. R5 - Unbeaten Hay List going for 9 straight, and finds extra when challenged, but even factoring in improvement my odds are about 3.25 whereas fixed 1.75, pass, but hope it wins. Dante's Volonte reportedly back to near best, and loves Ascot. Revolition is a must lead type, so early pace will be interesting. Apparently screws tightened on Ma Ma Machine after last start's below par effort. R6 - Grand Nirvana has been disappointing and drawn awkwardly, but blinkers on today, last chance. Elliotto a distance risk, but powered home at 1400m last start. R7(WA Guineas) - The Corporation will get gun run, by Helenus so 1600m is perfect. Thorn Dancer has been backed for a stack now into 4.1, but will get back and could be wide for most of the race, and very wide home turn. R8 - Golden Business eachway should give great sight. Almohad is promising but odds 3.0 is too short. |

Shonegg, great race analyis there mate well done!
I figured hay List was too good to be true, and I also found Elliotto (EW) and also Clueless Angel EW but 2 bets in the race, but overall not too bad finished off with no 11 in the last @ Top Fluc , but was dissapointed with $2.70c. Keep them tips coming mate.... please! |
Hey chaps, great racing yesterday. In the last Almohad was never going to lose after 200m, personally a bad result :(
The Railway Stakes next week, Perth Racing sure will pump it loud all week, starting with breakfast with the stars Tuesday with the barrier draw. |
Shonegg, sorry got a bit mixed up there, all was as I said except realised later that it was jake who mentioned Clueless Angel,..... so credit where it's due..... anyway as it happened I dropped the lot at Bubury today, backed the first 2 winners so thought I was in for a good day ..... then ZILCHE! ..... 4 seconds. I ended up $22 in front over 2 days, when I figure I should have been $2000 in front, ah well there you go,........ NEXT WEEK EH?
