Looking at Ellicorsam’s performance Saturday & comparing against last year, she carried the same weight (55.5kg) in last years Lee Steere winning in 1:21:32 This year she’s run 1:22:58 in finishing 6th. Whilst I understand comparing race times is not necessarily an accurate exercise it does indicate just how much Elli is away from peak fitness. The winner by the way (Avenida Madero) ran 1:21:91.

Bearing in mind there are around 6 listed / group races (1200 -1400) over the Ascot summer carnival to come, if Elli can stay sound I’m sure she’ll earn her share of the prize money.

grey matter wrap-up

Not a great day for the greys yesterday at Bunbury although we did get 1 winner. Strawb Knows (unpl), Eaton Money (1st), Northern Nova (unpl), Luna Mist (unpl), La Fille Du Champ (unpl), Silver Yacht (unpl), The Grey Cardinal (unpl), Air Of Supremacy (unpl), Silver Seam (2nd) and Hearnster (unpl).

ah well! live and learn ;)

Much improved race yesterday at Bunbury. Finished 4th beaten ¾ length. Looks to be coming to hand nicely following his 2 year layoff.

Anyone else back Believe The Cat yesterday?! What a waste of effort! I’ve backed it twice now in country – beaten fav both times!! Well named – Cat!!

yeh finished 4th to Rapid Rancher who would you believe started 20/1 :D One of the little systems I follow - last start winner > 8/1 next start. Don't keep stats but I've had some handy collects ;)

5/9 is very good I thought. I usually aim for two a meeting as I am bad at tipping hahahaha.

Top effort AdrianLee! You mention aiming for two winners a meet. Let's hope this glut of winners doesn't mean that there's a couple of lean runs just around the corner but rather your average is on its way up! :)

Couldn’t agree more Placid Ark. And apart from the obvious black type races ahead there's also a couple of listed races just for fillies and mares that she could tackle.
