We are realists are don't expect too much from the little fella other than he do what he does every week and that is give his all. The support of the industry participants at all levels has been incredible. I have been on youtube to watch Stephen Bradbury a few times today

    In the spirit of Stephen Bradbury, got to love that. All the best Dannie.

    You're there Dannie - as you hoped you might be when we spoke at the trials last weekend. Anything from here is a bonus and you will always have the racebook to prove it!

    Well done to the big odds Trifecta in the Hunter Cup they took there chance and were good enough to win/place it.

    But given PMan, TTL and Guaranteed drop out, how good the run Christen Me? He didn't sit 3 wide quite as long as the others but still.

    I assume he has seen TTL run as FAR has raced him...what was L McCarthy thinking?

    I didn't sack Franco Ledger after making him my bet in the Vic Cup but only bet the win
    Good run by CM as you point out Breno

    CM is rightful fav for the Inter but you have to go down to FL at $26 before you would want to have anything on any of last night's mob going on that races form

    Anybody else think that Philly Man is smart enough to know the laps last night and took it to be a 2200 race - thus peeling off a 27.9 for the 2nd Q despite Jack trying to restrain him
    (The timing of TTL coming around could also have made PM think this)

    I was there last night...great event with a big diverse crowd....lots of young people.
    Seemed that many in the Hunter Cup were at the end of this preparation , or couldn't handle the distance.
    Kerryn's drive was very sensible.

    I think we are all smarting after last nights Hunter Cup upset but I've been going through some stats this morning that might make some sense, The Kiwi's have far more stand starts races over there than what we do here in Oz, Now our racing here has become very much focused on sprint to 2200m racing apart from a few Country Cups and the Interdom, Hunter Cup etc, I've got together some figures for races above 2400m and I'll start with the Kiwi's,
    Arden Rooney 16 races
    Franco Ledger 44"
    Easy On The Eye 20"
    Adore Me 12"
    Christen Me 16"
    Terror To Love 34"
    Aussie Horses
    Restrepo 9 races
    Guaranteed 3"
    Philadelphia Man 3"
    Beautide 16(13 of these in Tamania)
    The figures are quite staggering and the Kiwi's definitley have a better all round game with their experience in standing starts and are far more experienced over the longer distance races.

    Very revealing Rich. I would love to see more long races as they allow time for tactical moves. The WA Pacing Cup stuff is what I want to see
