3 semi winners drew 1
Provided the emergency comes out Ladies In Red follows Tough Tilly out so IMO she wins as she is simply better than them
$1.46m on offer on Saturday at Melton
and for an entree $265k the night before
Owners Colours will be back (will have to unlearn the drivers' colours)

The money has come for Ladies In Red and she is now just about co-favourite with Tough Tilly at $2.15 - $2.20
They were probably just waiting to make sure she would be coming out of SR2 which she is - not because the emergency came out of 9 but stablemate Dangerous Hand (8) was scratched
We no doubt have some very happy posters/owners tonight and I reckon Rick would be just as happy about Final Peace's 3rd as Anne is about her 2 magnificent ones
The track was so pegs biased for the pacers it was a bit of a joke. My thread asking if 12 horse finals were fair could be ammended to 'we needed 4/6 horse finals'
The exceptions were Lochinvar Art and Ladies In Red and the 2yo filly's win deserves to be bracketed with him on the night
Check out Ladies In Red's breeding to see why she is what she is, with this link to her 3rd dam on ClassicFamilies and open the little + boxes (you may have to register with ClassicFamilies since their cyber attack)

ps A fantastic night for the Tonkin-Stewart stable but I hope the colours worn tonight are once only - they look like a track suit top that the Carlton team might wear to the ground (they looked nothing when watching the races)
The Silver/Consolation races are at Bendigo on Tuesday night
There are at least of couple of horses that looked like tired horses during the series going around in the hope of winning $10k instead of heading for a spell

10 different drivers won on Crown night
Particularly interesting IMO because with the Tonkin-Stewart team training 4 of them, once upon a time you might have expected those 4 to have all been driven by the same driver (as they were all their main hope)
Honorable mention to Chris Lang who had only 3 trots drives (in the big ones) and notched up two 2nds and a 3rd with their starting odds ranging from $19 - $26
Very happy with third place in the final after forth last year.
Closing the sprint lane would help with that pegs bias ! Yes we took advantage of it but she would have stayed 1 out if there was no sprint lane !
I notice they didn't interview D Douglas after his win. Would have been colourful !
