    In the sweeps I go in every year, I got drawn Marmelo, Ventura Storm & Tiberian. I've always had a winner in the sweeps, every single year. So one of those bad boys is winning, apparently.
    OK

    *load up = $5 e/w lolz

    About as good as any, good turn of foot if he can run the distance might gap the rest of them.

    It’s got every chance to win.
    But it probably won’t.

    Welcome to horse racing, enjoy your stay.

    I think they need to forget about tradition and make the Melbourne Cup Weight For Age. The handicap conditions drives away too many top quality local and overseas horses.

    Can't believe Melbourne blokes were potting the Sydney form in the lead into the Derby

    The last two runs he had were as hard as nails and he had a beautiful set-up. If we don't get another slop-filled autumn he will be winning some great races.

    i couldnt stop thinking about this all weekend.

    if they ever did that it would prob mean less overseas horses right?
    who is gonna ship a decent 4 year old over here to try and beat the weights?
    i actually think it would then make people more aware of the horses that are a chance (and able to track the form) and 'maybe' create even more interest in the race?
    i mean who is the last o/s horse that really excited the general public?


    or am i approaching this wrong?

    Winx runs second in the Longines ratings again - hopefully she runs them into the ground at Ascot this year and we can put this stupid ranking system to bed forever

    interestingly, Enable not higher considering that the Arc was the highest rating race of the year

    what surprises me the most is that Kitasan Black wasn't rated higher - the Tenno Sho double, the first in good conditions then the second in the slop were two of the best performances i've seen in the last few years
