Reply With QuoteIt seems a massive ask bringing Majestuoso back for the Great Southern Star's heat and final format after he has been off the scene for 11 months

Maybe the solid trial is because if your horse is older than four, there are not many high stakes lead up races before the MM qualifiers on March 2

There are some ridiculous starters in the Great Southern Star
In future I think there should be an entry condition that noms must have a sub 2 min winning time

I hope Nathan Jack does not regret not taking the opportunity to ease down on Callmethebreeze in that heat
An impressive trotter he surely is

Weird as Southern Star draw. The favourites got late choices BUT why did Callmethebreeze connections take 10 when they could have had 6 with Just Believe either having to take 7 or 10
Especially weird given post draw interview and Anton Golino saying they would have preferred the front !!!! (they could have???)
Leap to Fame is so special
Bettors Delight sired the Trifecta
Time was good - only 0.8 secs outside the Tk Rec of Tiger Tara (Bettors Delight) set in the 2019 Hunter Cup

I don't know that we need the Southern Star and the Hunter Cup on the same night
The Southern Star upstaged the Hunter Cup from a home viewer's perspective
Nathan Jack - so much smarter than this armchair expert LOL
He won the race in the beginning by assessing that Blue Coman would go to the rail, allowing him to push through into the running line and keeping Just Believe working early

Unfortunately I was reading your posts and had unknowingly left my TV on Sky 2 so only caught the last 400 of the Southern Star. Seemed like a great race! (Missed out on backing it too!)
How close would have Purdon got to Leap to Fame if his horse didn’t go rough in the straight.
From my armchair I am loving the racing tonight re both big races etc. Backed a winner or two also.
You should have been on TrotsVision Daniel

I was also watching Bunbury re new lights. We have been waiting for that for two years! (It might be my aging eyes but did the track seem a bit blueish in the back straight at Bunbury?)
Hunter Cup was a great night though, with the highlight being the performance and drive of the French horse. Great to see Triple Eight win, given he is one of his recently deceased sire’s best progeny.
Other thoughts- I am in favour of putting the big races together on one night. Wish they would try it here re Pacing Cup and Golden Nugget.
