For a reason 1:50!!!

[Greg Hando]

For A Reason was simply stunning to beat the calibre of horse's by some 20 mts, no easy feat running the sectional's they did. I'm dirty my mare didn't get in foal to him last season but them's the break's.

Yes, well.....For A Reason would have finished in the same place it settled(3 pegs) if the leaders weren't carving out 26 quarters up front, the same as Mister Presley would have finished back with the cap catchers the week before if Panella didn't serve it up to the leader. Im looking forward to some great battles between these two leading stables over the next few months, and a few more Steven Bradbury moments when they do......

So do you not rate FAR's performance?

He went outstanding, but had conditions run to suit at the same time.

[Boydy]

Fantastic run by For a Reason. But how good must Beautide be. He might be the next ex-Tassie superstar since Flashing Red.

Adam you are right I think you are somewhat blinded by your allegiances. Watch this space as like I said previously alot of people have a gutfull of the attitude and it seems very coincidental that in the last two weeks two horses have taken control of their drivers, Suave Stuey for the Red Army and Excel for the Blue and Green Army. Coincidence that these two class horses have taken control of their drivers two weeks apart. I don't believe it. The Red Army took on the Black and White army in Brisbane and have now turned their attention to the Blue and Green Army. Pesonally I love the competition but truthfully someone is going to lose. I am not sure who but can't wait to find out.

Exhibit 1 In Appeal - 28/9/13 Menangle Race 7.
It seems that Lauren is becoming the new Koala Bear of the industry.
Luke is a morale to get off on appeal.

I would think he would NOT want that as an exhibit at all - for then his drive screams of payback

[VVV] IMO that's a VERY inconsistent approach by the Stewards.
As I have already said in another Forum, if they view such efforts in a bad light then they either jam BOTH Lauren & Luke up for their respective drives (Lauren 2 weeks ago on Suave Stuey Lombo AND Luke on Saturday night with Excel Stride) or the let BOTH slide.

Jamie, never a truer word has been spoken! Spot on
