No idea Hat, seeing her in the noms was a shock though, aiming a bit high so soon.

Great racing tomorrow with the Belmont Sprint and the Belmont Guineas.

In the Guineas, Mega Steel is one of those promising types you'd love to own. Races on the speed, and fast, and had a change of gears last time. Breeding suggests 1600m no problem. Up against Grand Nirvana at set weights makes it a real challenge though.

In the Sprint a big field in a wide open market will make it genuinely run unlike the Roma Cup a couple of weeks ago. I think Idyllic Prince is ready to strike, but barrier 18 will make it settle wide and back. Universal Ruler was once the top sprinter. First up over 1400m is a surprise but I guess connections know best!

Belmont Guineas

No-bet race for me. Grand Nirvana should win but very short & prev form over 1600/1800M not all that hot. Mega Steel the only other one in betting at the moment.

“Yes I am going to try my luck in Hong Kong. It is the best racing in the world and I am going to try and match it against them.” Pike told perthracing.com.au

“The HKJC contacted me and it is an opportunity too good to resist.”

Hi Rumour has it Pike will be off to Honkers ahead of time.

Pike currently sits atop of the rider’s premiership here in Perth with 73 winners, more then 34 clear of his nearest rival Troy Turner.

Hi schonegg, rumour has it Pike will be off to Honkers ahead of time?
