    Alta Christiano had four winners at GP last night. What a champ with his Christian Cullen bloodlines he would have had a huge impact at stud for many years.

    So Wildwest is heading for Sydney I've always thought the horse would go over there. Probably to be trained by B McCarthy. I think he will really show his potential at Menangle.

To run past Freo Cup quinella in Minstrel and Patronus Star shows how massive it was. Given dist covered he would have gone close to 54 his actual last 800m covered of 2950m. Quinny probably the only horse who could have ever won from there.
    Having watched it properly now, I would still rate the Bulls run the best, followed by Minstrel and Magnificent Storm.

    Bull and Storm differing runs so hard to compare but Storm and Minstrel both had to go 3 wide, Storm then 4 and 5 wide from 2 lengths further back and ran past him.

    Yeah but Minstrel had no cover for a fair time, it's a coin toss

    You can see the raised arm of celebration of Emily Suvaljko (no.1) going the early crow in the WA Pacing Cup some distance from the line. Costly?

    21 day suspension costly.
    I am not a fan of celebrating over the line personally and this is but one example why

    PP along with myself thought WA harness racing was one of the healthiest states but this is not so according to him this morning
    I have done a little research and suspect he may be right which I will put in my next post as I cannot put 2 pics in one post

    We all know that the punting trend has seen the dogs pass us and PP's pie graph suggests that their wagering turnover is double ours in WA
    So for us to receive more funding than them means we are being massively subsidized - something that the dogs are not going to allow forever
