NSW Derby

[Maorisidol]

*The NSW Harness Racing Club tonight conducted the barrier draw to determine the starting positions for the 10 horses, and two reserves, who will compete next Saturday night in the $100,000 Christian Cullen NSW Derby at Tabcorp Park Menangle.
The barrier draw is as follows:

1MUSTANG MACH
2VLADIMIR THE GREAT
3DEVILISH SMILE
4EXCEL STRIDE
5MABROOK
6CARIBBEAN BLASTER
7ROYAL VERDICT
8 BLEDISLOE
9BLACKJACK BROMAC
10R ELEVEN
11SCREAMAN SEAMAN - EM 2
12ABETTORPUNT - EM 1

I see a 2 horse race essentially between Royal V, and Excel Stride based on that draw, they seem to be better than the rest, great sprint by RV to win his heat! Their heat wins were identical times, so no doubt will b close.

R Eleven and Caribbean Blaster were runs full of merit to have to admit RV run was quiet good what a sprint when he got out made the look like they were standing still

[Zipper]

Royal Verdict will get mine.

i like caribbean blaster , his run in the heat was very good and he fights hard and stable is going well atm, wouldnt surprize me if he led as i am sure devilish smile would hand up to him. i have always been a fan of excel stride but not sure where he will end up in this ,he wont have the same sort of run as he did in the heat and will have to do plenty of work at some point in the final. royal verdict was devastating but i wasnt a fan of the drive on him , not sure why he didnt come out before the turn as he obviously had a lap full of horse instead risked a pocket but clearly is one of the best in Australia.

1.Caribbean Blaster
2.Excel Stride
3.Royal Verdict

Hey buster

Have a lot of time for the CK so to be up with the FFA at Melton shows a bit talent were you there buster

[mango]

Hey Buster

So they video the trials down there is there a reason for that as i thought it would be expensive and do they do all trials. I was recently in n.z and it was great waking up in the morning and switching the race channel on and watching the trial's from all over n.z i even picked up a few to keep an eye on.

[nat]

Hi buster are they available on the net
