    Not hiding my admiration of Bitobliss, but the poor fella didn't have a chance.

    That FFA was such a boring race to watch.. BOB first up was a fantastic run! I hope he has come back with the talent we all know he possesses.

    BOB looked good and I reckon that was as much as they would want him to be doing first up

    He's run some time up the straight. Winner went 26.8 last 400 and he was 4 wide round bend and making ground on it.

    Harveys trotter the run of the night.

    Low 26's Paul, BOB was finishing off rapidly and it's great to see him back. Scotty didn't knock him around either, Just reigned him up down the straight.

    Great nights racing last night. IMO most semi final meetings of these type of rich series usually turn out to be a bit of a bore what with connections just trying to cement themselves into the final. Last night saw a bunch of really competitive 'racing' which resulted in some big guns missing out on the final as a result.
    One horse that was driven, it seemed, to just qualify, ended up getting all the breaks and won quite impressively....Hectorjayjay. Looks a nice 'match-race' next week between himself and little Messini.
    I had to check outside last night for flying pigs......Ginger Bliss $2- against Guaranteed $2.60. Before someone jumps in and says the winner had a lot of luck (and he did), I won't hear of it. Using a football term, Ginger Bliss couldn't lace up Guaranteed's boots and the mugs responsible for that market presenting itself should hang their heads!
    With Guaranteed's sketchy gate at the start of his races I find it hard to see him beating Lenny next week. IMO his chances hinge on the fav drawing 8.
    Lovelist.....disappointing!! Speaking thru my kick.....ouch!
    Away from the 4yo race next week, I'm eagerly awaiting the 3yo filly draw. Berisari went enormous and Barinya won arrogantly. I'd imagine only a great barrier draw to M Priddy will see either of those two not winning.
    Cheers

    The 2yo races saw some big performances too. Niki No No in the 2yo fillies semi was enormous. 3 wide when going 44 sec lead time (about fastest of night) then sat in death and won. Virgil Hilts in the 2yo colts must have been giving the leaders 6 lengths or more at the 400m mark. And Diamond Castle was last heading into back straight last time in the other 2yo fillies semi.

    And congratulations to Mrs Anderson (Bonnie) for getting 2 girls into the 2yo fillies final.

    Wouldn't be taking too much notice of times last night. And wouldn't be writing Lovelist off. Outstanding filly that one. It was blowing a gale there. Luckily the gale was blowing directly at the back of the stand so wasn't to bad sitting in it watching them bowl around.

    Should be some great racing next Saturday night.

    Thanks for tuning me into those replays Paul - 3 BIG runs (well I only saw 2 as Mediatec cannot manage to put up the last lap of Diamond's race!)

    Why do you think they queried the driving tactics on fav Licinia pushing onto lead? (in Niki No No's race)
