Chris Barsby...bizarre statement

[G-Mac]

Unexpected or surprising? Yes.
Bizarre? No. If there was no rationale for the decision it would be bizarre but the reasoning is completely understandable.

I'm sure the folks at HRV would have a few different adjectives for the decision...

What I found bizarre was Chris Barsby didn't go on to say QLD would still trifecta the Vic Derby! He has maroon blood that bloke!

Some advice to C.B. : instead of just about falling out of the commentary box in anticipation of informing us with some dazzling sectionals and mile rates at A.P. I suggest holding back until you have something worth reporting.

Qld have the best 2yo pacing fillies this season. Charming Allie (by Mr Feelgood) & Joys A Babe (by Art Major). Both did amazing jobs."

Time only means something when you're doing it.
What matters are Stakes races won, money earned, quality of fields beaten.
Everything else is window dressing.

Hi Jaimie, agree with you, give me the money over time any day but having said that time is very important if you are standing your stallion or mare at stud. Imagine Smoken Up ( gelding unfortunately) with a 1:48:7 near his name or a Baby Bling with a 1:50:5, both would command instant attention.

Sorry didn't mean anyone take offence to what said. Wish sun would shine out me arse... been very cold, wet winter down here. Wasn't having go at Queenslanders...just silly comments is all. If I owned NSW 2yo filly going for the Crown Sunday on the BIG STAGE I might be offended....
