ODDS AND ENDS - not worth a thread but worth a post

I watched that one live on Sky Paul (would have gone except the main race was too late to get home before the kangaroos and wallabies hit the roads) I knew they were going fast but didn't realize it was that fast. It was a super run by the odds on fave in the death but if he had let Australian Bite across he probably would have won

It should read Turnbull but typo aside, in my db I have Amanda down as having now trained 3 winners in Vic this season, not just having trained her first - does anyone know if I am definitely wrong (I could have mixed up AS/Steve with AJ but I do not think so as I have her entered as Amanda)

Thanks for the pm Breno, I don't know how I made that error - with her driving for A.S all the time I will assume I got the trainer and driver mixed up and give Steve 2 more in Vic. I am still not really believing it for how did I have her down as training from Shepparton if she should not have been in the db until the Bendigo win? And is that right (for NSWs leading driver0?

Apologies for rambling on but I like to think my db is accurate

There was a $621 runner in the claimer at Kilmore tonight - longest shot I have seen for awhile.

Am I missing something- 620/1 and it was claimed??

At only $2k maybe somebody was doing some last minute birthday shopping for their daughter

It was very cold in Kilmore tonight - maybe that explains the ordinary times all night

Just had a quick look......mid tote that horse was $62 so I think it's safe to say it was a typo Kev. $62 not $621

Does anyone have an opinion on the protest on Race 3 @ Charlton yesterday? I was absolutely staggered it was not upheld. I have seen protest in Victoria upheld for minor interference @ the bell upheld and I thought there was no doubt this one would have overturned the winner.

Just had a look Jack and it's a mystery to me as well, stewards comments were "Nonno Medoro" also hung in, and he was laying in a bit all the way but when they locked wheels the leader left the pegs very sharply and at least half a cart. I reckon the connections of the second placed horse can count themselves a bit hard done by there.

That's a disgrace, No doubt what so ever the 2nd horse was going to win the race and clearly the winner has rolled off the fence and caused the wheels to lock and has taken all the momentum from the 2nd horse. Race 3 in the afternoon is a bit early for the beer googles but it appears the steward had them on.
