I don't usually see the Herald Sun but doing a bit of cafe reading today saw a mention of Animated in yesterday's paper

1.54.9 wide, then parked and pretty much untouched at Bendigo last Wednesday

I would have thought we may have got a post about this from a certain Bendigo poster of ours
Are you holding out on us Noel

No...I'm still here.
It was a bit lost in the avalanche of local winners that week:As I posted on the BHRC Website: www.bhrc.com.au

Punters who follow Bendigo trained horses and view the video of Bendigo Trials, are having a field day, with 9 winners in the past week.
One, the Bill White trained I Am I Cried won last Sunday at Shepparton paying $74, while the Glenn Sharp trained Spud won the next race paying $24.
The recent winners are:
Oct 7
Bendigo: Sheer Strength and
Saint Grace
Oct 10
Melton :Sun of Sonoko
Oct 11
Shepparton: I Am I Cried, Spud,
Master Machmanus and Another Ayjay
Oct 14
Bendigo: Sukovia and
Animated who raced three wide into the death then sprinted away in the straight to win untouched in 1.54.9.

Hayden Gray , local concession driver drove a double, and then again at Geelong drove another double

It pays to follow the Bendigo Trial form ( although Sukovia tralled well at Maryborough before the first up win.)

Our Hi Jinx wins the Gp1 Queensland Pacing Championship in Track Record time rating 1.55 for the 2680m. The cheats lane played a part but he had led for half the race
Philadelphia Man $1.40 was sooooooo ridiculous

[Smoken]

Great run OHJ is having, even though cheat express lane played a massive part.
Philadelphia Man starting those odds was just plain crazy.
I still don't understand how many people talk about his 'strength! Overrated much?

[Messenger]

I have never thought of him as strong either Ev, until the previous run in the Gold Coast Cup over the shorter trip. I prefer him over the shorter trip

[Smoken]

Ye for sure Kev! He is much better over the short, or he must have a good run in transit over the longer journey. He won't be or he 'shouldn't' be starting those ridiculous odds anytime soon, when he's racing against some very high quality horses.

The Jet Player was highly impressive taking 0.6 off the Stawell track record for 1780m.

I know somebody that went to Stawell and did not even bother to go to the trots today

The Jet Player was the first 2yo touted and punted in the first 2yo race at a Maryborough meeting last season, due to a cracking trial at Melton...but never quite lived up to that ...now seems like he is !

I remember that Noel. I think the records at Stawell can still go much lower despite it being a tight little track. Before today the 1780m was held by Our Bedrock while Hi Tech Fury holds the 2175m - good horses but not top class. It would be interesting to see what some topliners could run.
