When I saw that there was another dead heat at Charlton yesterday, I went straight to the replay to see if Luke may have called it (he called the one at Mildura the previous night)
He went for the one on the outside, when you look at this enlargement of the photo (that we can see in the results) you wonder whether he might not have been right

Looking at the breeding of 3yo first starter Gawn, I noticed he is a ¾ bro to Petillante
What I found just as interesting (and had not noticed before) was the fact that Petillante was raced solely by Clayton Tonkin as a 3yo last season
She was a good 2yo too so why would the other owners relinquish their shares - maybe Clayton made them a great offer

No cheating for another 24 hours:
30 years ago today Robert Dunn got a race to race double culminating in the Hunter Cup.
Name the Hunter Cup winner and the runner up:
On the same night there were 4x Derby heats. Winsome Eagle took out a heat for David Aiken. Great Celebration took out a heat for Robbie & Russell Jack. Name the 2 other heat winners, one of which won the final the next week.
Can you also name the 2nd horse in the Vic Derby who later got revenge in the NSW Derby with the quinella reversed?
The Hunter Cup quinella and Vic Derby winner then went on to trifecta the Hunter Cup 2 years later.
I can't remember last week these days Brenno but just asked Luke at dinner and he got them right without cheating (not all).Originally Posted by aussiebreno
Hunter Cup winner - Master Musician
2nd - Blossom Lady
Got 1 of the Derby Heat winners - Golden Reign who won final.
And them 3 trifecta the Hunter Cup 2 years later.
Great job Luke.
For those playing at home.
2nd horse in the Derby who got revenge in NSW was Young Mister Charles.
Other heat winner (3rd in final) was Chandon.
Luke is a walking encyclopedia of harness racing

How an industry as small as Australian harness racing has ended up with two $1million slot races on the same night defies belief.

Guerin is talking about the NZ Race and the WA Nullarbor isn't he?
When did NZ become part of Australia?!

WA is also basically a seperate state!
What horses are missing from each race? Would Louis have gone to NZ with the stronger depth there anyway? If races spaced apart would Louis have travelled to both WA and NZ?
Maybe some harness people do take long weekends.
Despite metro stakes we have two 5 horse and one 6 horse race at Melton tonight
