    When Carribean Blaster won VIC Cup NSWHRC went out of way to have circle jerk with Rob Nalder and connections by naming races after them the next week. (ITMQ and connections yet to have that honour bestowed upon him despite winning a bigger race that was actually at Menangle. ) Whats happened in 11 months to rig draw against him?
    Smoken Up deservedly so is loved up at Sydney for his feats in Miracle Mile/Len Smith Mile, so much so they named the stables after him. Why would they rig draw against him now?

    On that performance Robert. you must be wondering why your Miracle Mile invite hasn't arrived in the mail yet, lol (the video quality is poor but that's a nice feather to have in his cap)

    Just to show how much he didn't like it, Restrepo came out and broke 2 track records at his next 2 starts including the Central Victorian Championship final at Charlton. I flew from outback Western Australia to Perth, Perth to Melbourne, drove from Melbourne to Geelong and stayed at my brother's place. We drove up to Charlton on the Sunday for the race. They were warming up on the track when the water cart hit the fence and damaged it so there was a half hour or so delay. They finally went back out to start and when the tapes let go it was all over in a second when Ballochbuie galloped and in the process locked wheels with another horse and ruined it's chances too.

    I might have to keep my distance in the future.

    It's one photo I made sure I got a copy of.

    Ended up being a dirty day for Greg Sugars too who was driving, he drove the winner of the next and lost that one to a protest.

    Wins 2 races, a 1:50 flat and then a 1:49... Both of those have never been done before in Australia by the same horse.
    Trigger did his 1:48.5 or point something but has never got under 1:50 since...
    He nearly did Ash. 4/2/2012 at Melton. Around 3 bends not 2 as well. 3 wide round 2 of them. Ran last mile 1.50.5. No one got anywhere near close to that since. Big ask Saturday night but if anyone can do it he can. Go Trigger!

    Noticed Beautide had a bit of exercise at Menangle on Tuesday in a trial, Cruised around in 1.53 with lots in the tank. Replay is available on Trots TV.

    I was looking at the form experts opinions for Saturday night and was surprised to read this against Smoken Up on Harness.org.au site.

    "Grand campaigner who is past his best. Will be sent forward but looks likely to have a torrid run. Could really por on the pressure in the middle stages to try and get in but can see him being posted. Cannot have"

    Gee, I thought his last few runs have been great from poor draws. I hope they post the $34 this tipster predicts

    Ridiculous odds. They say to never write off a champion and the tipster has gone against him at his own peril. Sure it's going to be tough from the draw but it's pouring again in Sydney and any things possible.

    Heard or read somewhere today, For A Reason just about assured an invite. Does that mean 2nd place tomorrow night gets an invite or does my old mate Bitobliss get a chance.

    Certainly a lot of intrigue, For a Reason has to be a definite starter you would think. I guess at the very minimum, they could make Bitobliss the 1st reserve if they invited the 2nd horse from the Cordina.

    What a rippa, ran 'em off their legs.

    I've been tempted to back him all day at the odds but I've only had money in my account to back my horses. Unfortunately the one in the last which will probably start a lot shorter than what SU was, damn.

    Kids came up into the bedroom wondering what I was yelling about.
