    Race 3- Western Gold
    Race 4- Jaccka Twain

    C'mon all you old shaggers. Time to pony up your selections. Let's see your form!

    Not having a bet of course. Very limited study.

    Rc1No10 Buckeye Nation. Gets in with a claiming driver, won similar races recently.
    Rc2No6 Motu Crusuder. Third up now, down in class. Should win.
    Rc3No4 Western Gold. Debut for Luke McCarthy.
    Rc4No3 Baileys Magic. Not the strongest M0 (some nice horses though) and has only run behind Karter Brown and Matai Zinga who are both pretty smart.
    Rc5No2 Mr Feelgood. At his best just wins...but is he at his best?
    Rc6No4 Keayang Cullen. A roughie, Excel Stride undoubtedly is a deserved favourite, but I really like this bloke.
    Rc7No3 Bainfield Washington. In with a claim, drawn nicely should win.
    Rc8No7 Magic Franco finished close up at Bathurst and Hewitt has had some success recently at Menangle.
    Rc9No2 Charlie Machsheen. Is he the best in the race? No. Is he my favourite in the race? Yes.
    Rc10No4 Bebrave. Close up at Bathurst should go close.
    Rc11No7 Red Sumaria. Followed this guy since he was a freshman.

    It seems we agree on three races. If I must pot one of your selections right now it would be Hayden. Don't really rate him. I know too say that about a Bernie Kelly 2yo is either brave or stupid, or possibly both.

    Yeh, went with him because of Bruce, in 2yo races he does everything short of picking them up & carrying them to win & also I think the horse might be one of those that's stronger than he is fast at this stage of his career (that's a bit of a Life Sign trait all over anyway) & I think they'll go hard up front tonight so it might be his night to keep coming & close into the faster early fractions. The best laid plans....

    We're on a different time here in Vietnam so I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to find out how the Captain went

    He won it Marie. Tipped off the back of Ray Green's horse Lincoln Royal (who'd led from 10) and nabbed him by a short half head in a new lifetime best 1:51.4.
    The first 4 across the line were by Direct Scooter line horses...Mach Three, Mach Three, Courage Under Fire and Courage again.

    So happy that he is continuing to show his brilliant form that he displayed in his younger days. There have been so many knockers over the last couple of years criticising him , saying he was "over the hill".

    You might guess that I am a long-time fan of his :-) Incidentally , a bit of trivia , he finished fourth in Smoken Up's 2011 Len Smith Mile at Menangle. When the winner ran an Australian record 1:48.5 , the 2nd, 3rd and 4th placegetters all broke 1:50.

    So although it is not a "winning" time , he has actually gone under 1:50 previously.

    I could be wrong , but I think he must hold the record for the most number of wins at Menangle.
