    BHB is a serious race horse, did it easy.

    Stay on our boy Rokki and sir Bacchus.

    Run to the rose picture gets muddier by the day.

    Mate at the boozer was on a 35minute tirade against Brad Rawiller then calmly turns around and plonks everything in his pockets on BHB.

    Got the collect and went straight back to bagging all hell out of him.

    Fantastic scenes.

    how's jmac's last 3 at rosehill yesterday - an absolute beaut on astern (that was some race), some classic ghisoni-esque action on allergic, then storming home like it was mid-week trackwork in the last. hard to pick this guy.

    Horses are 500kg or so, have small brains, and are extensively inbred. And yet people think the jockey is responsible when the horse doesn't get the job done.

    are you saying any 50 kilogram child can pilot a thoroughbred?

    to say the jockey can't be at fault because the horse is stupid is a bit weird. you can watch blokes slaughter chances on decent horses every afternoon of the week if you really want.

    I'm saying a professional jockey can't always make a thoroughbred do what they want them to, and I certainly didn't suggest that any 50kg child could do better.

    Jockeys can stuff up no doubt but according to punters it's always the jockey at fault. That was my point.

    I don't know if this should be in this thread or the politics thread. But either way something for Mike Baird to consider:

    i blame the horses just as much as the jockeys to be honest. i could blame myself for betting on them but where is the fun in that?

    Any horse I back automatically receives a 10kg psychological penalty.

    i threw in early doors on yankee rose as she'd run with an incredibly low weight, but she's now cooked supposedly

    highland reel the best of the foreigners based on his last few runs if he shows up

    moore v bowman would be great for the kiddies

    2.25 on the all-in markets for winx is almost stealing money

    I won big on The United States last Cox Plate day in the MV Cup, it loves the track and won at the distance.
    Wouldn't be surprised if they set it for the Caufield Cup instead rather than waste time chasing Winx's ass.

    actually what a weekend that was for the form.
    Chautauqua in the Manikato, The United States in the Cup and Winx in the Cox Plate doing exactly what they were supposed to do.

    Made punting look easy.

    He's nominated for the Dato' Tan Chin Nam Stakes this Saturday over the mile at the Valley. - you would think he will be thereabouts at the finish.

    Q-Money makin money. Not enough love for Under the Louvre though. He sends my heart aflutter. Will win the Bobby Lewis and Rupert Clarke before giving Chautauqua a hiding in the Manikato.

    Nick Carle and UTL will always have my love

    holy shit, the return of VJ

    must be spring

    UTL's run last week behind redzel would have to be one of the better losing rides, never got his chance

    **** VJ is back, welcome back big fella.

    UTL just seems to be one of those horses that never gets the luck. As much as it comes down to his racing style as anything.

    Interesting to see how Tosen Stardom will run for D.K.

    Can the cleaner go 3 in a row? We know the pace will be on but who will capitalise on it.
