Miracle Mile 2024, Chariots of Fire and MM Qualifying Races

Well we have the Newcastle Mile tonight
The Gp2 is worth $100k
Leap To Fame will start from 5 and would appear to have all the competition well and truly covered

Too easy and now that he is qualified and can have a fortnight off before the MM, he has a huge advantage over all the others (as if he didn't already)

The Chariots and the MM qualifiers fields are out

Emma Stewart would be pretty happy with her marbles

I would like to be at Menangle on Saturday
Races 5 - 10 should be superb
Tune in about 8.20 folks

Speak The Truth wins the Cordina in 1.48.7 in the Death

My truth is - that is just too much improvement for my liking
That is 3 seconds faster than he has ever gone before
And I am not just talking winning times - regardless of finishing position, he has never gone within 3 seconds of that time (much less in the Death)
That is an improvement of 43m
on his best time 10 months ago at this same track
a year older and stronger will see improvement but 43m sitting in the death (as opposed to leading)

That was the first time Ladies in Red has not finished in the first two
Ordinary drive by David Moran thinking that was the right time to move IMO
Great run my the mare considering - especially first up

Just minutes until the Allied Express and tonight's dedicated Trot channel spent minutes interviewing the trainer/driver of a $51 pop in the Chariots ?????

The Allied Express was smooth sailing for Jeff as was the Chariots for Frankie
Don't Stop Dreaming has been up for 5mths and probably looking for a spell. I wonder what Mark Purdon was fined $800 for?

2nd in the Chariots - Sooner The Bettor gets one of the selected MM last spots
Absolutely ridiculous that 6th placed Don't Stop Dreaming gets the last spot
There were many more deserving from the Cordina and Allied

The draw

Easily the weakest MM field in my lifetime !
