Won last start at Nowra over 1400m. Steps up to 1600m. Looks a pretty weak race, so should have a chance. Has run within a length at Newcastle over 1500m. The topweight in the race has class but hasn't won over the distance.

One 3rd to Parkour yesterday was all that the Lohnro troupe could muster. Katisam started at over 50/1 so was probably never any chance at all and looks like it doesn't have much of a future at the moment. Ellohnro didn't place and looks country class at best.

One runner today 12/02/10:

EYE OF BRAHMA ****: Roedean Canterbury Race 6 at 05:01 Gai Waterhouse Blake Shinn
Career:4-0-2-1 $12,110 Dist:2-0-1-0 Track:2-0-0-1 T/D:1-0-0-0 Good:1-0-0-0 Dead:1-0-1-0 Slow:1-0-0-1 Heavy:1-0-1-0 1st-up:2-0-1-0 2nd-up:1-0-1-0
Lots of places so far. Corey Brown replaces Blake Shinn, who by all accounts gave the horse a terrible ride last start. Being by Waterhouse no doubt there won't be much of a price available.

There is an abundance of Lohnro's running tomorrow so lookout!!

For some reason my message didn't save from earlier today. There was only one runner and it didn't place so no real loss there.

Runners for 16/02/10:

LONHROSON ****: Palme D'or Hawkesbury Race 3 at 02:40 John O'Shea Hugh Bowman

O'Shea trained, Bowman has stuck with him. Will need to pull something out of the bag in what appears a VERY ordinary race.

SHADOWCAST ****: Visual Displays Hawkesbury Race 8 at 05:45 Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes Timothy Bell (a2)
Career:5-0-0-0 Good:5-0-0-0 1st-up:4-0-0-0 2nd-up:1-0-0-0
Is the emergency for the race. In 5 starts so far he's been beaten a combined 83 lengths. Has a two kilo claiming apprentice onboard, would probably need to claim about eight to ten kilos to have a chance. Trained by team Hawkes. Sometimes Saturday racing seems SO far away!!....

Waterhouse is backing him up after a week. Stepping up to 1550 where he came a 1 lengthh 3rd last prep. Should they change its name to Bridesmaid?

Morning all,

What a weekend ahead! The Huss is back and I for one am excited!!

Unfortunately the Lonhro juggernaut has stopped to a crawl but hopefully tomorrow will bring some sunshine as the quality horseflesh rears its head once again.

My blackbook didn't send through the Lonhro runners so no action today as I'm time poor.

Best of luck with your investments!!

inner sanctum .....
Denman is just so gorgeous (just like a girl eh) Saw him have a shower as it was pretty hot, and he was nibbleing the strappers hat, then rested his head on his shoulders, just so relaxed, so beautiful, so much like his Dad, he even did the Stop...look around bit... the strapper couldnt move him in the mounting yard until HE was ready to go , after everyone looked at him. It was greyt, when he won everyone clapped him, and again when he came back, it was just terrific to be there... Couldnt believe when McEvoy came out, the silks looked like they had just come out of the suitcase, there were creases everywhere !!! They have enough $$$ to throw them away (ha ha) and have new silks every race !!! I
