Yep nice div. Link race replay below.

Still a good run Smoko,,looking at the replay

Any plans for either to race on the east coast ?

read somewhere Smoko off to Melbourne shortly

Winterbottom Stakes still on the radar, regardless.

mr moet listed to trial this monday..lark hill

..stablemate marden same trial

trial result..mr moet..3rd..marden..2nd..winner..mystic prince

..they were talking the perri cutten sprint this saturday at caulfield..but not in the final nominations ?

The only nomination I can see for Smoko is the Winterbottom Stakes, 23rd November

..trip east for one run & then back again for the winterbottom..deemed not worth the risk ?

Update on Barakey, anyone ? Thanks

Prince of Wales Stakes, Saturday, Ascot

Cheers Hat. Bit short for mine.

..wa tab will be offering $2 (barakey) for a short time later today..

Glad I didn't have a WA TAB account :rolleyes:

Barakey returned with an elevated heart rate & was slow to recover. So all not 100%.

Smoko has suffered an injury to his suspensory ligament and will out for at least 3 months.

That's no good, fingers crossed for a full recovery!

Barakey found to have a virus
Been treating Barakey with antibiotics
Highly unlikely for the Winterbottom Stakes

One door closes another opens!
Hometown success in the Winterbottom to the Taylor / Brown combination with Barakey's stablemate, Magnifisio.
Although Taylor still rates Magnifisio three or four lengths inferior to Barakey he is contemplating a trip east for the mare.
Magnifisio has now won 13 races from 23 starts, total prize money $1,576,600.

Sandgroper, the original ! :) Been a while!

Locals ran 1,2,3,4. Surprised the invaders from the east didn't do better. In particular Angelic Light. Just read the stewards report, had a tendency to lay out in the straight, but nothing else. Puzzling!

had an off-day according to trainer Robbie Griffiths
Angelic Light off to the spelling paddock now

William Pike produced a gem of a ride to steer Elite Belle to victory in the Railway Stakes. Pike had the choice of the three Railway Stakes runners, Elite Belle & Respondent trained by Grant Williams & the Adam Durrant trained Ranger. Balmont Girl made it a hometown quinella. Eastern State visitors Moriarty & Smokin’ Joey finished 3rd & 4th. Pike, the wizard of the west, said he was keen to have another crack in the Eastern States. Elite Belle has now won 9 races from 23 starts, total prize money $1,207,300.

Gee, tough race. Gai Waterhouse has Pheidon engaged. On pace horse which should be suited at Ascot. 13/1 both totes, worth a bit, maybe.

Reserves out, all racing in other events, might be worth watching

One for the visitors. Veteran stayer Moriarty beat the locals in the Kingston Town Classic. 10th Group 1 win for the season for Chris Waller.
Well ridden by Hong Kong’s champion jockey Douglas Whyte, who replaced the suspended Nash Rawiller. Moriarty has now won 13 races from 52 starts, total prize money $1,665,440.

Moriarty would have to be the one to beat in the upcoming C.B. Cox Stakes

Moriarty not in the C B Cox, gone back home.

William Pike once again produced a gem of a ride to steer Elite Belle to victory in the C.B. Cox Stakes. Now three wins this campaign, including a brilliant win over Barakey at 1200 metres & winning the Railway Stakes. Elite Belle has now won 10 races from 25 starts, total prize money $1,404,300.

“King William” Pike strikes again! Piloted Real Love to lead all the way to win the Perth Cup. Real Love appeared vulnerable in the straight but dug deep & found another gear to draw away & win by 1½ lengths. Real Love has now won 5 races from 13 starts, total prize money $ 623,810. The Adam Durrant-trained mare could be tried on the eastern coast sometime in the near future.
