The drive by Sugars on Bettor Rock On, one of the worst drives I've seen in a feature race for a very long time. He caught a break at the start when Guaranteed cleaned up Flaming Flutter and he had to bully his way to the front when Guaranteed (first up) came calling ... it went pear shaped soon afterwards and deservedly so. I was on the winner, no complaints there. Sugars drove that horse like he had no plan.Originally Posted by Messenger
Is it the influence of the sprint lane ?
The majority of this current crop of "elite" young drivers lack aggression and are afraid of contact. They wouldn't last a few weeks in WA : )
Lucky for Greg you were not on the Victorian selection panel for the inaugural Australian Driving Championships, Bob
If it was one of the worst drives you have ever seen it would have to be tied with hundreds of others as going to the Death before the favourite comes around is a pretty well worn path

Some excellent wins by the mares last night:
On Ice, the champ Tandias Bromac and the toughest win of them all was Cool Machrista running good time in just a C1

Philadelphia Man = WOW
No wonder owner entertaining the MM in interview beforehand (and before his horse has even won an M0)
Great drive by Glen Craven to have a shot at beating PM - try to run him/them off their legs, knowing it is his first start for 2yrs
If you have not watched it - you should

Was on track to see Philadelphia Man, what a specimen!
and whats with him blowing out to $2!!! i took $1.40 Fixed thought that was good!! Dan Mielecki was more stunned by the $2 than he was with the horses run...funny, but true!
Great win first up after 2 years out of the game!
Impressive trial on 11/10/14 (1:56 mile rate, 55 last half). The $2 on the tote was generous...
Had to be the Jilliby Master confidence/money

No probs with Scruffy, he came outside the leader to win!
Some other highlights last night. Bellas Delight. 3rd start back from what looked like career ending injury. Round to the death off very fast lead time and wins in 1.56. Ultimate racehorse. Puts in every start. All courage. Many congratulations to all connected. They've had all the highs and lows with her and great to see her back.
Nathan Jack. 4 wins. Drive on Jadahson a pearler!
