Yup...sorry....can't count..44 will do.
Looks like quite a good race actually with NSW visitor Vincennes looking very dangerous. Elegant Image is first up from a spell since Feb and from 30m has a task especially that Vincennes is fitter and only on 10m.
In the 3yo race Gus An Maori is first up since Dec and recently trialled winning well running his last 800 in 58.06.
However the night before at Melton in maybe one of the best clashes we will see, another NSW visitor the very impressive Arboe comes down to tackle the great Claudys Princess who in this their 2nd clash has again quite a poor draw in comparison.
If Arboe gets the lead from barrier 2 she will be very hard to run down again-meanwhile lets all barrack for Spidergirl in the same race to get her mojo back!
Then we have the Oaks with hot fav My Arya drawing the pole, looks like the winner although My Tribeca was massive last start and if closer in this race, could actually turn the tables.
In the 2yo War Dan Destroyer by rights should win and Charlie Runkle wont be far away
a great weekend squaregaiting!

So Vincennes simply too good in Bendigo Cup. Elegant Image-shocker. Unico Crown 2nd in great form, loves SS.
Gus An Maori won 3yo simply too good. Hopefully he can continue winning and live up to his InterDom winning mums talent, would be great to see Bryan Healy have another great trotter entertain us.
Arboe certainly showed us she can do her thing in Vic not just on the big Menangle track, she certainly can run. However in most of her races she has led and won or been in the death seat up the front. Having only had 6 starts i am looking forward for example at Melton, (or anywhere but Menangle) where she draws on the back row of the mobile and Claudys Princess is on the front row, so she has to come around the field.
With Arboe running her last 800 in sections of 28.5 and 27.5 shows why Claudy had trouble making ground!
In the Oaks hot fav My Arya led and won, however Amarula and Little Miss Zigzag were both out late after being held up and made very fast ground on the winner. Looking forward to when My Arya doesnt lead and Amarula and Little Miss Zigzag get a clear run.
Hot fav in the 2yo War Dan Destroyer gallopped at the start and was 127m from the winner Kyvalley Tinman who was a top run from the death seat giving Brent Lilley his 5th training success for the night and Anthony Butt his 4th winner for the night, top effort.
Charlie Runkle the standout for me, lost at least 50m after the start and only went down by 3.4m in 3rd place.
Good summary of the meetings Ash J
I was delighted to see the stewards were "on the ball" and had to look at the replay before declaring all clear in regard to Charlie and their conclusion that he did not make ground lololol on the field when he galloped oloololol…….that sure makes for a crossing your T’s and dotting your I’s ololloolololol
Look forward to a good race when Charlie, Sundons, Kyvalley & War Dan ( not necessary in that order) come off the front
As for the outstanding results of Brent Lilley, IMHO I think it will only improve for him because since he moved into his own property some 12 months ago and set it up from absolute scratch, and as he wanted, with 1000m oval track, 1000m straight track, pool and paddocks that keep all the horses happy, his results have over the past months have begun reaping the rewards from some of all his &his hard working team have put in.
Next of the 2yo's step out at Ballarat this week and if breeding/ families has anything to do with it then the unraced Keayang Yankee if she does everything right will be the interesting runner for me
Cheers Bruce, yes the Ballarat 2yo race will be interesting to see how the Keayang and the Maori horse go and further develop. They are both by Muscles Yankee and both come from the strong Maori maternal family, so are very closely related.
However both will have their work cut out with Melpark Merinda who covered a little extra ground early in her first race only being beaten by little Blitz, Calder Knight by a neck. I have no doubt she would have won with a little more luck early in that race. She has gate speed and if leads will be very hard to get past. Crown Dream has 2 half siblings Our Dreamlover and Royal Dream who both have loads of ability, this is his first mobile start after galloping at his first SS race so he hasnt had a chance to show he may have ability similar to his big brother and sister.
Two from the Maori Miss tribe on the one night.
The very promising Gus An Maori and Vincennes
Vincennes, traIned in Sydney by Blake Fitzpatrick for Pat Driscoll's Yabby Dams Farm stable won the Bendigo Bank Bendigo Trotters Cup last night, missing out the long standing track record held by A Touch of Flair by one tenth of a second. The five year old, by French stallion Ganymede from Showmethemaori, a member of the amazing Maori Miss tribe won its 15th race from only 39 starts driven by champion Kiwi driver Anthony Butt.

We may have seen the best 2yo filly in Victoria last night in Keayang Yankee with a awesome display that left no doubt as to how much better class she was than the rest of the field. After giving them 80 mts she still had the audacity to break 30 for the last and untouched going to the line ! Being the first foal from a mare that is a half-sister to the dam of Spider and a couple of the Illawong clan, maybe the female line is set to continue on for a few more decades with at least 2 more mares that keep producing top quality off spring. Her next foal ( also a filly) is a Majestic Son so more than likely will be even more precocious.
The next of the 2yo Trotters is the Vicbred Heats at Ballarat next week and we will get to see what some of us have been waiting for !
With what looks like a field of only 8 we will see Charlie, Kyvalley and the 2 that are out of the draw Sundons and Cruisin that will make it a very competitive race, throw in Skyflyer and Calder Knight it maybe a small field but the big guns are there ( with the exception of War Dan as he is not eligible to Vicbred)
In the fillies while Princess Phoenix will start the fav I would think it is wide open and barriers and manners will make for much of this 12 horse field so look forward to the final field and drawso both races should be great races to see and have a bob here or there.

I think your previews have a chance of converting me Bruce, especially with the breeding info
