I can't see Lenny winning the final if he has missed work. If he does then he must really be special !
Don't die wondering !
3 runs last week and 7 days between runs. I don't think he is going quite as well as he has been past 18 months so can't see him winning but don't think missing work will be much of a factor.
Love it....Genetic variation, but the rest of it I could not follow..
Rod, the two WA horses should give their owners some value in the final. My hard copy is another horse missing from the InterDom as well. I am not sure what his future holds.
Lenny the Shark must be a chance if he races without injury, he has done nothing wrong in the heats.
This is the honest truth.........my dad in his later years had nominated two horses in the days when you had them sent to you...yes a long time ago! but he forgot he had done so. Any way race day comes & my friend Mark goes down to get the horses because they are in the fields , he gets to
my dads place , my dad said Mark what are you doing here & he said Joe your two horses are racing today , my dad said ....bugger it , I haven't worked them for 10 days Mark , he thought for about 10 seconds & said oh they will be right you can not lose fitness in 10 days.....low & behold the first one ran 2nd after being flattened at the start & the 2nd one broke the track record winning easily .Reckon Lenny should be fine. Good luck to all in Final & consolation.
Can only talk for human fitness but the idea is called tapering. Taper off your training in the week or two leading up to a big race for best results.
A look at the sire lines shows that the predictions of 20 or so years ago that Meadow Skipper blood had saturated the breeding of pacers and backed breeders into a corner has not eventuated.
Who would have thought that the dominant sire-line in this field is the Direct Scooter line?
And all 6 are sired by sons or grandsons of the Direct Scooter import In The Pocket
The 12 in the field, including emergencies are:
Direct Scooter: (6) ..Volomite sireline
Run One Over... Changeover/In The Pocket/ Direct Scooter
Our Jerico ... Tomahawk/Christian Cullen/In the Pocket/Direct Scooter
John of Ark... Courage Under Fire/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
France Nelson... Christian Cullen/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
Smolda... Courage Under Fire/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
The Bucket List ... Christian Cullen/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
No No Nukes: (3) ..Meadow Skipper sireline
Our Jimmy Johnson... PForty Seven/The Panderosa/Western Hanover/No Nukes
Bling It On ... American Ideal/Western Ideal/Western Hanover/No Nukes
Beaudine Boaz ... Badlands Hanover/Western Hanover/No Nukes
Cam Fella: (2)... Meadow Skipper sireline
Bettors Fire... Bettors Delight/Cams Card Shark/Cam Fella
Lennytheshark... Four Starzz Shark/Cams Card Shark/Cam Fella
Abercrombie: (1)... Adios sireline
Hector Jayjay... Dream Away/Artsplace/Abercrombie
As an aside: The turnaround to Direct Scooter blood continues with the success of the Matt Scooter son Mach Three and his amazing son Somebeaachsomewhere...and the promise of Auckland Reactor.
