    From last Tuesday at Shep

    The caller dubbed it "As big a run as you will ever see"

    Liberty Stride is a 3yo raider for the upcoming Derby and is written up in the following article (with replay link)

    Here is the link to the results

    Different lead up to a classic

    Was intrigued that Liberty Stride started in a stand as a lead up to the Derby.
    Was flabbergasted that she has Never started in a Mobile race.
    Has this ever happened in any recent Derby?
    How would you feel drawn behind it?
    Looks a good way of not being ODed.

    I have a very small lease share in a horse that may get a run thus the self interest of research checking out its runs.

    Gp 1 winner as a 3yo when she won her first 4 starts before a 2nd and an unplaced
    Fremarkspoetry was first up for 18mths at Stawell today
    She lost 50m at the start, made it up and circling them she gallops again and loses 30m
    Goes around again but gets posted for a bit then ends up winning by 8m eased down

    Keep them coming TC

    Dark Horse goes zoom. I notice that was his first up start as an 8yo and that it was only his 8th start since his big 4yo season

    Spirit of St Louis runs into a deadend and still sprouts wings. Can see why his last start was in the Gp race that is your third link. Also noticed Cast No Shadow ran 4th behind him a couple of starts ago - he has impressed at his 2 starts here

    Self Assured the magnificent for your third. Unlike Williamson in the previous link who may offend the new whip rule, Purdon didn't need one for the champ - he dropped it but he powered home on will to win

    Stridemaster tells you plenty, especially about Self Assured. 12.77 seconds for the last 200, fewer strides and longer ones than any other runner. He is ripening beautifully for the NZ Cup carnival.

    She won again on Monday but I found the explanation for her long lay off interesting (and admirable)

    "She was sound as a bell. It was just that she was going through a growth spurt and there were a few minor issues as she was growing out."
