I hope the Tuckshop has plenty of hot pies for those out in the cold at Bendigo because it is only 6pm and the 'feels like' temp is already down to 3 degrees
The Stewart stable won't be noticing it - they are hot, having already won the first three
Total Domination - the Stewart stable wins 7/7 Vicbred 2yo heats
I don't know what to make of it
She had 9 horses v the others 57
Congratulations to Anne for qualifying 2 with a win and a second
How did Bendigo rescue what would appear to be a monumental booking blunder?
Phenomenal performance from the Stewart stable. Congratulations to Rick for his filly splitting the Stewart pair in the last fillies heat.
The stable cannot win all the 3yo heats on Thursday as they do not have a horse in the 2nd heat of the fillies
The 3rd heat of the colts is a killer for them as it will be difficult for them to qualify 4 for the semi's
Looking for owner/part owner duplications, the only one I notice is
The Stokie group have a share in both 9 Major Delico and 12 FourBigMen in R1 Heat1 for the C&G
Correct on the fillies Kev but how so on the colts. Isn’t it 5 heats into 24 positions in the semis? First 4 each heat and 4 fastest 5ths?
I understand no trainer splits but I’m at a bit of a loss on no owners splits ( syndicates excepted as they may have multiple memebers who arent visible and may be shareholders in multiple horses) but for those owners whos horses are in individual ownership or in a limited ownership group I do think that is a bit rough. We may want to encourage syndications but not at the expense of individual owners I wouldn’t think. I don’t think there has been anyone/small ownership groups actually effected in the series thus far though.
Thanks Kev. The Tiger Army was a $16K purchase at the yearling sales , he has some happy owners . Beale Street is improving with every run. He was a yearling sale entry then fate stepped in. His paddock mate kicked him in the leg requiring 2 ops and a long recovery. We had no option but to withdraw him from the sale. I didn’t t go to the tuckshop but the free barbecue looked good. Ballarat have invited owners to their dining room at a reduced cost for the Sires heats on Friday night: best Club in Victoria!
Thanks Dot, was very happy with her effort.
So 7 wins for the Tonkin stable, 7 short priced winners. I think my idea of putting them all in one heat would have made for a much better betting card , more turnover and spread the money out to the battlers. May also stop all the best bred horses going to the one stable. All things that would help our struggling industry.
Crazy night. My filly tried her guts out and ran second in the third race and made Treasure stick it’s neck out a bit. Super proud of her efforts and she will strip fitter for the run. While Stewart’s dominated, I think the fillies division is pretty wide open across at least 6 horses. Amazing effort from Stewart’s team, and while a lot of favourites won, there was certainly some competitive racing and competitive finishes. Certainly a night I’ll say I was proud to be a very small part of.
