No Majestic mach for breeders crown,shame.
Hey Damien,Originally Posted by ARTOFFICIAL
You're right he is a nice horse. His win at Menangle the other night was impressive.
Unfortunately Majestic Mach is not heading to the breeders crown, I don't think they paid up for him and I believe he is heading for a spell after the nursery series in QLD.
Is this bloke harness racings 'Black Caviar'??? He is now running and winning at her odds of $1.04 and $1.00 and doing it just as easily as her. I hope the Dixons take their time with him, let him grow and who knows, maybe he might be the next Blacks A Fake. He was again tonight just superb. Thats 6 out of 6.
Guaranteed sure did clean 'em up in the Tatlow c & g final tonight at Melton. We might have to wait a bit longer for these 2 stars to cross paths, I am pretty sure the Qlder was being put away after he finished his current local campaign.
What about Majestic Mach tonight.... Any questions??? FREAK!
Just toyed with them from the breeze. If he continues to improve at 3 we are in for something very special.
Anyone listen closely to Barsby's call after Majestic Mach crossed the line?
Talk about state of origin!

Thought Grant made a bit of statement by electing to sit in the death when the lead looked to be there for the taking.
That was a shot fair across the bow of Guaranteed, but moreso would have given Grant a few more ideas on his depth.
He is known for his blatant parochialism.
A funny story as was retold to me and involving Chris Barsby.
At a QLD Harness Awards night he was seated on the same table as the former the RQLD Chairman. When Barsby got up to go get a drink or visit the gents or whatever...old mate apparently inquired with Barsby's wife as to his name and what he did.Finger on the pulse had Bob.
Nothing wrong with a bit of blatant parochialism Breno. It's good for business. Barsby's good at it. Former GP caller John Hunt over there in WA, he was the undisputed King. The Industry began with "My horse is faster than yours and I'll race you to Church to prove it". Somewhere along the way we all but lost sight of that boastful aspect and I think it has been to our detriment. It doesn't have to become a WWF Vince McMahon style pre race wind up but in the lead up to a big $ race the odd trainer or owner coming out in the press & throwing down the gauntlet to their opposition would make for good copy and no doubt generate interest.
The Fans are still out there, they want to pick sides, they want a horse to follow and I reckon that sort of thing would help no end in generating them.
[VVV] G'day Brad,
Both OUTSTANDING horses but I'd fall into the Guarenteed Camp ONLY because he is still a colt and as such I'd dearly like to see him & in the future more like him (as in home grown sire prospects) go on to greater things on the race track & eventually stand at stud in years to come. Kevin's horse is hugely talented, right now I can't seperate them on exposed form, but he's a gelding and that's the difference for me at least.
