My guess is there was some doubt about running Saturday so the trial tomorrow was plan 'B'

And for 3rd / 4th put in the 3YO colts Stratum and Jet Spur who look to be well in under the race conditions.

Well it looks like a few of us did well in the Age Classic :)
But at least I can claim the fame of first (posted) on this thread :D

Looking at results ran 2nd don't know how far beaten didn't hear or see race but guess 2nd first-up not too bad.

Brings a smile to the dial just thinking of some of his posts. If you're still keeping an eyes on things at this forum irish, hope you're travelling well ;)

Yeh! the good old days :D

Well if you were the first to post DCFC let me be the first to congratulate you! :)

WA Guineas (Group 2) 1600M – Nov 19th

What’s the consensus for the Guineas?

I think the winners of the two traditional Guineas lead up races the Fairetha and the Burgess Queen, namely Manjar and Snacking, are going to fight out the Guineas.

They each ran almost identical races from widish draws and their times were very similar. Manjar clocked 1:23:16 (34:33), Snacking clocked 1:23:13 (34:25)

Weights will favour Snacking in the Guineas. Manjar will drop from 56.5kgs to 56kg whilst Snacking will drop from 56kg to 53.5kg.

They’ve met just the once so far, in the Belgravia a couple of weeks ago. Manjar won carrying 54.5kg coming from last, Snacking carried 56kg and was beaten 2.25lens but had excuses as she had difficulty obtaining a clear passage in the straight and was held up for the majority of the last run home.

And the trainers of both horses have previously had WA Guineas winners. Trevor Andrews won with The Right Money in 2002 and George Daly won with Vows in 1991 and again in 2003 with River Mist.

Should be a great race and at this point in time I’m leaning towards Snacking to just pip her male counterpart Manjar.

grey matter wrap-up

Well we did get a winner at Mt Barker yesterday - Great Beau, the remainder, Lord Plantagenet, Another Mary and College Dean, were all unplaced.

The lightly raced Spin Silver has returned from a spell in fine fettle. He was very impressive leading all the way in his heat and won with plenty in reserve. Should measure up to city class.

Buttonhole nominated for the last at Ascot this Wednesday ;)
