I noticed that there were only 2 horses in the APG fillies heat last Tuesday
Does this mean the final next Friday is a combined fillies and colts?
The 6 horse colts heat went 1.55.5
The 2 horse fillies heat went 2.06.7
Both winners by Huntsville
I just watched the replay of the 2 horse race - it would have been interesting if Madeleine Young had had a crack at the fav a bit earlier

Maybe PP is reading too much into it but it is an interesting one
Richard Bell calls the plunge horse Our Star Watch No.1 as going straight to the lead at the start BUT it hadn't yet, so did he know that Dad on No.1 the big drifter was simply going to let it happen
Maybe it was just predictive race calling but PP feels it needs to be investigated for the sake of Integrity
Although the notorious Lindsay Harper needs to be the real centre of an investigation as No.1 blew from $1.40 out to $3 while No.2 firmed from $9 to $2

Watch until the very end. Interesting how Richie Bell more or less starts questioning the drive by Harper - particularly about the start
Surely there has to be an inquiry about the race

How come Bell calls Our Starwatch as going straight to the lead when it had done no such thing? There would be no questions asked if he was calling exclusively for radio but there is no delay between what he is calling and what we are seeing.
Lindsay Harper had a strangle hold on his horse coming out the gate and allowed the winner to cross early and fend off the early challenge from the $91 shot. From there it was a procession and Bell called it that way. He also gave a wake-up call to the stewards in the last lap, reminding them it was the biggest plunge in many months. He then critiqued Lindsay Harper's drive for them after the race. The facts are there for the stewards to follow up on. Do they have the appetite?
RACE 2 – QUAYSIDE TRANSPORT PACE DIV.1 (2130MS)
MIDDLEPAGE (L. Harper) – When interviewed in regards to not holding the lead from his inside barrier, driver advised the gelding had not started for a period of 3 weeks and he was mindful of its condition going into the race. He was also aware not to over-drive the gelding in the early stages as it had broken gait at previous starts when driven in that manner. He further stated the gelding had every opportunity to finish in first placing after obtaining clear running on straightening.

PP questions whether R7 at GP last night was on the up and up
The winner (backed in from long odds) got a charmed run but to suggest GHJnr knew it would come seems absurd to me as the leader and the sit horse who both came away from the pegs - couldn't have known he was there (able to get the 5 spot)

Good luck to Gloucester Park's 373 voting members - 187 of them need to get it right
If completed, the land sale will trigger a redevelopment that includes Gloucester Theatre - a new tourism, hospitality and community facility located on the eastern side of the track near the foot of Matagarup Bridge. Gloucester Theatre and its surrounds will host up to 4,000 spectators and feature dual views over the track, and across the Swan River to Optus Stadium. It will also provide a dedicated member area and member parking facilities, plus a range of entertainment and hospitality experiences that will activate the Swan River seven days a week

Doo sits in the chair in just about the slowest Vic Cup ever...new ID and NZ Cup fave.
Smokin Romans sits in the chair in what was effectively a dawdle and sprint home...Caulfield Cup fave.
Magnificent Storm sits in the chair after being 4wide early against last years Derby runner up/G Halls best horse in the stable...3yo filly gets the headline!
Read a couple times over past 12 months trainer was keen for ID but article during the week suggested he may be cooling with the big WA races just a month after. Shame for fans but cant blame him with so much money on his doorstep.
