Ballarat cup

Now don't I look stupid

Should have had some on Mah Sish.

I should just add the odds I quoted were from tab.com.au and sportsbet

New Hunter Cup Fav, Mah Sish!
3wide last lap, 27.5 last qtr, 56.2 800m, MR 1:58.4
Pipped poor old Sushi in last 10m...who was also pipped in same race last year.
Winner getting better with each run here.

I fluked Mah Sish tonight, thought it might get the nice soft run, get driven for luck and sneak a hole. Not take the fight up to the leaders, sit 3 wide and nab the raw fish on the line. How sweet it is to be sooooo wrong. Bit of a square up though, was on Sushi last year and thought it couldn't get beat and still reckon it shouldn't have.

Well done brad! What odds did you get? They were a little inconsistent from fixed.

I should have boxed the first four, oh well....

Well deserved win to the ever consistent Mah Sish, do feel for Sushi being done on the line 2 years in a row but he is due for a big win very soon. On his recent runs he looks like a major contender in the Hunter Cup.

Its good to see the major players hitting form in time for the ID, cant wait for the heats.

Took $9 on fixed odds which were just slightly unders on the NSW tote. I haven't ever had a bookmaker tremble at the size of my bets Toni...more likely sniggers of derision and a "sure you can afford it Rockerfella?". Last night was another top race drama wise and I actually thought for a moment Sushi was going to hang on. Have seen a bit of Mah Sish in NZ and Oz now and am firmly of the belief that he is at the higher level of the 2nd tier top-liners and if conditions suit can be competitive against the best, but his performances only underline how much more superior the real Terror To Love is in the top grade. I am going to be one crest-fallen little rooster if we don't see the best of him this time around in Oz.
