    Vic Cup Carnival including Derby and Oaks

    Oaks and Derby Heats are up

    https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=MX011022

    Only 2 Derby heats but how Hot is the first heat - some good horses are going to miss the final

    Emma Stewart has 12 in the Oaks (3 heats) but only 3 in the Derby

    Act Now and Better Eclipse are resuming in the Smoken Up Sprint

    They do only need to qualify and it seems amazing that Captain Ravishing has opened $1.40 while Leap To Fame is $2.90 in Ht.2 of the Derby

    1.Just Hope ($4.40) 2.Petillante ($6.00) 3.Encipher ($1.35) in Ht.1 of the Oaks has made it a race for 4th for the others

    Maybe the market priced in the fact that Leap To Fame has to get to Melbourne!

    Unfortunately, after two Oaks heats, the change to the longer 2760m distance has resulted in these races being run as 800m sprints

    That was like Kate watched the Oaks heats and had a pre meditated plan without paying attention to the race pace.

    And the boys really know how to put on a genuine race!
    Happy with the photo result as I talked myself out of Ripp (thought he was incredible odds for a horse that was touted as the next big thing after his first 6 starts)

    Stating the obvious but the draws for the Oaks and Derby are going to be massively important
    Yes, Captain Ravishing is sensational but he is green and he will still be green next week, which gives the others a chance

    Captain Ravishing was originally knocked down to A.Portelli for $80k at the 2020 APG yearling sale. I bet they wish they had completed the sale
    Earlier this year he was listed as racing for APG
    It would be interesting to know he landed with Hassan Taiba

    Bondi Lockdown last in the Smoken Up - his run only lasted 100m.
    He isn't a shadow of the horse we saw back in Feb
