    At this point there seems to b no sale.
    Hey Maoris, for $1.75m and if he was mine, that horse would be placed in bubble wrap, put in the cargo hold with a big bow around his neck with a little thankyou card attached which would read ... SOLD!

    Struggling big time to believe the figure quoted. There is absolutely no leeway at all in Europe with regards to trotters who leave their gait at any stage. Blitzemcalder would have been disqualified in five of his last six starts in Europe. While our age group trotters have improved dramatically over the last few years , there is still a large gap between them and the American and European age group trotters. It makes no sense at all to pay that kind of money for a horse with issues to take on the best in Europe.

    I am one of Blitzthemcalder's biggest fans. In fact , I started a thread in these forums after his brilliant debut 2YO win raving about his performance.

    His run tonight was very disappointing , although he tried hard. At his best with that run he should have won by the length of the straight. Right now he seems tired and needs a spell. It probably will not happen but that's a personal opinion.

    If that rather dubious offer for him from overseas was ever true, which is really VERY laughable, then I hope they just move on and forget it.

    If he can have a well deserved break he can come back as a 4yo and show us what he is made of. I believe he will be one of our greatest ever trotters.

    Wonder how he will go off the pole tonight with a bit of pressure around him...and what happened with that offer for him a few weeks ago?

    Well he went pretty bloody well.
    Led easy, unchallenged, won by 24.4m, MR 1:59.6.
    Glenferrie Dreamer and Steal a Sixpence drew wide and had hard runs and Blitz's other main competitor Son of Sonoko drew wide second row and was great to see him putting a couple of good runs together, further fulfilling his potential.
    However, based on Blitz leading, no Aussie or NZ 3yo could run him down.
    Will b great to see this lot go around this Sunday at Maryborough in the Vic Derby. Barrier draws will be interesting

    The big fella does it again, wins the Vic Derby, too big too good, raced in the death after a scarey quick little gallop at the start.
    Good onya well deserved to everyone concerned.

    Second up over 1720m, slow away from mobile probably lost 15, let loose at about 700, wins by 18.8m, MR 1:56.9!
    Stayed on course after Vic Cup to watch him run around an hour later in the last race, bit chilly, was thinking of leaving after Cup but glad I stayed. A pleasure to see such an animal perform, his next year or so could be anything. Still has to improve in gate speed and general manners but time and maturity should achieve both.
    Ps. Apparently 1 second outside Vulcans track record!
