Super run from smoken up tonight. Now for the last two invites.
Too right Ash,
Bravest of the bravest horses, bravest of the bravest runs, what a legend, I thought he was gone when Mach beauty levels up but by gee he just dug in and told Mach Beauty to rack off!! Quite simply marvellous stff you don't see every day! Awesome.!!!
Super run from smoken up tonight. Now for the last two invites.
The old boy reigns supreme once more and fended off a few of the young pretenders once again. Jesus he's a tough bugger and Mach Beauty was out toughed by the toughest. Truly awesome performance!!
Mach Beauty and For A Reason invited. A Bettor Punt and Bitobliss are reserves.
I tell u what, u must think Trigger will b better for tonites run...
He can lead from any barrier at Menangle if they let him, like Mach Beauty did tonite.
If next week he leads it will take a mighty effort to get past him and they will have to run low 1:49's or 1:48 something.
Had what I thought was a "wishful thinking" fairy tale bet on him to win the MM at $26 about 3 weeks ago, but feel totally different about it now.
The 2 Kiwis will add good new flavor next week, will be intriguing.
It's all about the barrier draw.
Dan, You missed one, Imbecile. I wonder if the old mate was a professional form analyst??
Good on ya Ash, If the old bloke wins you should have the ticket framed and put it up on the wall. It's truly going to be the best MM ever. One things for certain now that Smoken Up's in it, The pace will be on and they are going to run some time (depending on the weather) and there won't be any room for the faint hearted. A great race of many chances.
