A super win by Mister Rea (Pet Rock x Just Glenburn) in the Sapling Stakes in 1.52.1
I would love to see head on footage of the start, I don't think I have seen a horse so far in front but fail to find the pegs

Mister Rea's sire Pet Rock is only available by Imp Semen now, after being well patronized in his few season here. He has not set the world on fire with only two $100k+ performers with his best being Rockin Marty ($160k) who beat Lochinvar Art in a 3yo Breeders Final
His first crop are now 5yo's. He hasn't gone much better in the United States either with Sectionline Bigry being his standout having earnt $572,000 and gone 1.48.1

Borntoboom is in R3 at Ballarat on Thursday
It is by the so-so Betterthancheddar and the first to the races for 20yo mum who hails from a very ordinary family
But none of us will be surprised if he wins because he is in the Stewart stable and generally that means he must be a winner
The well performed Solesseo Matuca is in the race

Only 30min or less between races at Ballarat but 1˝hrs home in the dark is out of the question

Kilmore for the fillies only tomorrow sees the first of Guaranteed's to race
Guaranteed Secret is from the good broodmare Secret Bonus
The race also sees the debut of Beach Memories who is from the very good juvenile and now proven broodmare Distant Memory who won two Gp1's in a career that only spanned a 2&3yo season

Sorrento = Somebeachsomewhere x Morton Plains (3yo Vicbred Final)

Looking at tonight's 2yo I was looking at Lightning Dan's last start 7th which led me to watch the Bathurst Gold Crown again
Pet Rock quinellaed the race. I had been thinking the Mister Rea may have just been a freak (although he has a very credible dam who finished 3rd in a Gold Bracelet) but it was a good run by Masquerading who has run 2nd to him in 3 of her 4 starts
Pet Rock's Australian foals fell from over 100 for 3 seasons to just 43 last year BUT maybe he is just about to shine
(this thread is becoming the Mister Rea fan club - I just noticed posts 7,11&12 are about him too)
