Correction re WA. It should read:

Jan 12 = 45/71 (GP -one race abandoned due to lightning)

Jan 12 = 51/79 (Busselton 6/8)

WA currently at 64.5% re Leaders at the Bell.

Vics leading re maths ability as well!

Thanks, had some concerns when he was crossed that he wouldn’t be the LAB but fortunately we got the retake (Trainer/Drivers first city win in 30 years, my first it was great craic. Lou came through it well too)

Vic Jan 13 = 58/130 (Shep 2/9)

Previous member and local Wayne Hayes would have been chuffed winning on Shep Cup night

Thank you re photo. I love the way his front leg is always extended beyond his nose. I was told he went in a 61 inch hobble when he came over but the trainer let it out 2 inches and we haven’t looked back. They do look loose though when you magnify the picture. Time to go free leg him?

Re Hayes - I sense an omen bet coming on. Hayes’ are on fire!

Vic Jan 14 = 59/137 (Hamilton 1/7)

That has got us down to 43%

(Edit: Corrected figures as I forgot that one race was abandoned at Hamilton today)

Don't judge too much of a photo finish! If you look closely, you'll see that he isn't pacing in the picture. Offside front is forward, offside rear is back.

Good point. He seemed to get a little rocky when the driver went for him too, down the straight so that may have had something to do with it. His heart rate was good when he came in but it took awhile to come down. We lost a little bit of fitness due to a small laceration on the inside of his hind leg just before Christmas.

Will watch the replay again. Thanks for your comment.
