Vic Derby Heats
I think a couple of these heats will be really interesting, especially heat 3.
The kiwi is all the rage in heat 1, however I think Karloo Kix is very underrated!
Heat 2 is a cracker with some top class horses, I think Charlie Machsheen is a better horse over a trip and Restrepo is a better horse at the mile. Therefore I'm tipping Charlie.
Heat 3 is also a brilliant field. I think Waldenburg is the best 3yo in Australia! Major Post and Black Caprice will certainly provide him with some sturdy competition.
It's going to be a great final if all the big guns get through!

Any one know if G.McElhinney is suspended? Just noticed D.Binskin is on Theartofdelusion
No he is driving at Penrith tonight.
Thanks, he must have been replaced.....didn't do anything wrong imo, but its a fickle sport
What was Grant Campbell thinking, the horse gallops and then goes to the death which is all good but you think one would look for cover instead of trying to hold Scandalman out.
Quite bad IMO, probably should get a holiday for "lack of judgement" for that one, right on with the look for cover Mango!
Mitch Waldenburg??? What happened mate?? Only thing I can think of is maybe he is not that great in front. On face value very disappointing....
Grant Campbell should give up. Scandalman a nice little run tho. The kiwi who won the first heat is the one to beat for mine, would have needed the run and looked to have a bit in reserve.
Yes very disappointing. I spoke to Chris on Thursday and he thought Major Post was a run short, so for Waldenburg to control the race and be over powered late by a horse that wasn't at his peak is definitely disappointing. I agree he is a better chaser but no excuses last night.
Very happy for Chris, you won't find a nicer person in harness racing!
G.Campbell on Western Rockstar was disgraceful.
