ODDS AND ENDS - not worth a thread but worth a post

This 2yo colt out of Bronte Jones rated 1.55.9 winning the 1st ht of the Vicbred Platinum Home Grown tonight at Bendigo beating the latest bling - Show Me The Bling.

This however is no more impressive than his previous 4th where he would have run sub 27 for the last Q 5wide after breaking early.

After that run he changed stables and ownership - anyone know what $ figure was paid? In the form analysis for tonight it suggests it was a big purchase - I really hope Ross Conway got a lot to give him up

If you check out his only other run

He was bolting then too.

Kevin I heard last night it was a 6 figure sum. Not sure how correct. Well done to all concerned though, he looks a very nice colt in the making if he can put it all together. Runner up was a good effort also, very wayward in the straight. Looks like he will continue the brilliant run from that mare. Best of luck to Harvey and co there.

ODDS AND ENDS - not worth a thread but worth a post

I do not know if we have had a 'non' thread like this before but if so, here we go again.

Sometimes you see/hear something that is worth sharing (to keep the board ticking over) but not really worth a thread SO this is where you post it

ODDS and END No.1

Not much chance of any horse catching Amajorjo at Maryborough today - he flew home in 53.3 (27.0, 26.3) after being able to cruise in front for the rest of the 2190m trip. Only 5 starters in the C7+ Leo Crameri helps explain it.

ps I am glad I changed my plans to do a 2 day road trip to Charlton Wednesday then Maryborough today with the lure of seeing Chilli Palmer for the first time - he was scratched from the above race.

The last race at Maryborough yesterday

No.3 5yoM Lifetime 53-4-8-7 Recent form 4921 Started $2.70
No.4 6yoG Lifetime 51-5-11-4 Recent form 1098 Started $86.20

You know who won

Any Mildura folk on board?
Today's meeting is listed as a Day meeting but in the Grampians it will be black at 6.01pm (the scheduled time of the last) - would it be the same up in the far north of the Murray?
ps I know they have lights - I reckon they would be on for the 2nd last too

Shane Cramp is listed to drive in Race 7 at 5.07 at Mildura
and Race 7 at 9.13 at Melton
He will be flyin or will he be flying :D
