Interesting.

I would have liked to go but have been doing a lot of miles lately and just got home on Thursday. I might make do with Stawell on Monday

Dot gave me an interesting analysis of the Derby with a couple of scenarios.
Do you think that IAM might consider handing up to the Muscle to avoid Hardhitter pressure (guessing he might be the Stewart stables sacrificial lamb) and IAM would thereby have first use of Sprint lane

David Aiken chose an M0 for 4yo Higherthananeagle tonight while connections of a couple of much lower assessed horses chose to tackle the talent in the 4yo Bonanza (100k)

Offers could be coming. Terrific win by Poster Boy
The NZers had terrific Inter campaigns but freshness over the short trip proved the winner

The First 4 in the Derby were the same First 4 as heat 2 from Ballarat with the quinella reversed

Here is the heat 2 result to refresh your memory

Dance Craze's 1.58.8 for 2760m was only 0.1 secs off the Tk Rec
I was only marveling last night that mum still holds the mile record at Geelong (from 2001)
