2023 NSW Breeders Challenge & Maryborough Redwood (& Derby) Day - Sunday October 29

[Messenger]

Emma Stewart has just one starter in each of the 4 big ones
In fact there is a really good spread of trainers in each of the Gp1's

I should probably change the thread title as Maryborough's Redwood (& Derby) Day share the Sunday afternoon timeslot

The Derby could be a cracker

I wonder whether Brendan will be watching the Redwood or the Breeders

(I figured 2 could do it )

I watched a couple from Maryborough yesterday and it made me sick! Think I need a longer recovery period so might skip the Redwoods

Watch the Derby tomorrow at 3.49 - it should be a good race

If there is two blokes that can drive a trotter we have it with the 2 faves.

Ha when they scoring up in SA Pacers Derby I was contrasting Louies drivers ability with my above post. I thought he would put in a bad one but I didnt foresee the horse galloping... the irony!

I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I completely forgot about SA tonight - other hobbies distracting me of late. Will have plenty of replays to watch tomorrow

Will be watching with interest re Redwood. Only learnt about it a few years ago but seems like a great concept.
In WA we only have a small population of trotters unfortunately but they are really valuable as far as adding abit of variety to many meetings. Would love to have one one.

The Locomotive was impressive last start so I will be following that.

The Redwood was a massive anti-climax - a procession for High Step
You cannot take a race seriously when 4 of the 12 starters blow the start and blow their chances.
I am all for bringing back stand start races but 2yo trotting stand start races just provides ammunition for naysayers
