Treuer Memorial

[Messenger]

I have a friend that was fortunate to win and breed a Caufield Cup winner. He said that the excitement level was different again having raised and developed the latter.
What are the plans for TACT now Stephen? Are you targetting any specific races? He's very lightly raced compared to his competition in the TRUER and previous winners. Now 12 wins from 32 starts. Saloon Passage and Messini have 22 wins from 66 and 65 starts respectively.

Getting 10 wins from your next 30 starts is the tricky part

The Treuer has lost a lot status, for example the strength of the 2003 field by comparison:

1 DOUBLE IDENTITY
2 SMOOTH SATIN
3 FLASHING RED
4 THE FALCON STRIKE NZ
5 GOLD KING
6 LOYAL DEPUTY NZ
7 ROYAL BATCHELOR NZ
8 JOFESS
9 JAMIN
d BIG BAD HOLMES NZ

Wow, there's four +$1M earners in this field. Where can I see a replay? Anyone know why BIG BAD HOLMES NZ was disqualified? There wouldn't have been a rail back then and so impossible to take a shortcut. That's now at least two disqualifications for the TRUER with MESSINI.

A Google search for a replay turned up blank, but this is a good race report:

Someone sent a link to a SMH article suggesting that BIG BAD HOLMES NZ was disqualified for a sample irregularity.

I'd still love to watch this race.
