    Hi Mightymo

    Ben Sarina will do the job, i'd like to see him drive a bit more as he goes good.

    Speaking of Drivers...how about the steer Greg Sugars gave Sushi Sushi in NZ?
    Very, very polished, great hands, a great judge of pace.

    btw, I know I've said it before but how much does that colt look like his Dam?

    I made a point of going to see her first start...it was at Bankstown in this bloody awful dust storm on a terrible windy night, September 8th, 1992...and she absolutely bolted in, BPH in the bike. At the time I think she was still only a 2yo by years/months/weeks/days but she was in against the 3yos+. I remember going have a look at her in the stables before the race & all I could see was this big, black thing silhouetted against the redish dusty sky. I can still clearly see that vision in my head now, like it was yesterday.
    She should have won the 1993 Miracle Mile but could not get out from behind Chokin who walked in 2:00.0. She was pulling triple and would have killed them had she seen daylight. Another big night was when her owner, Trevor Swan, drove her to take out the Newcastle Mile by a neck over Our Sir Vancelot. A wonderfully talented mare.

    sometimes they dont worry about margins, but she obviously had a lap on them!

    Have to make a correction Mango. I spoke to Trevor this morning said she was closer to a 4yo when she started racing. I always thought she was at least a year behind them. He said he would have liked to have raced her earlier but she took so long to get to the races because she was a real handful, kept smashing up jog carts and race bikes. As for footage of her racing, I have no idea. I have looked on Youtube but nothing there. Maybe Harbour TV would have some in their archives ? Very nice people to deal with. Their phone number is 0246 571 483.
