Eugowra Canola Cup Final Oct 3

[strong persuader]

With the heats run yesterday (24/10) preparations for another exciting final now begin.
As part of the Carnival of Cups, the Eugowra Club can look forward to another great days racing.
FWIW my early tip is Make Some Magic, won impressively and looked to have a bit in hand. Though the barrier draw will have some impact on how the race is run, so I reserve the right to change my mind :)

What a great day. Huge crowd, excellent racing with a few upsets thrown in for good measure. My tip for the final came in fifth with Mat Rue making a return to the Central West to show them how it is done with Bobbie Dee Dee taking it out. Make Some Magic came undone by not being able to cross them and trying to deathseat the journey. You may get away with that when they are going 2:05 around Eugowra, but not when they are running 1:59! Look no further than Karloo Mick running second to Say G'day Lombo trying to go even better working three wide and then death seating! At least Mick was courageous enough to run 2nd :)

Always wanted to go to that meeting. One of the best days I've had at the races in years was at Scottsdale in TAS and it is also a once a year job.

What about the turnaround of Say Gday Lombo. Last year at the Eugowra carnival it finished 6th in a HEAT of the C0 there.

It started in the Canola Cup heats two years ago, 26/9/09, and had 10 starts that season. Then a 7 month spell and returned to racing in Jan '11 and been consistently racing since. Seems to have struck a purple patch of late with a picket fence its last three starts making 8 wins total since Jan '11.
Still a damn good scalp, a C5 or C6 beating a C34/M20+ or whatever Karloo Mick is :)

Barry thought before the race that he didn't think he could win it and that Hardy's horse would be the one to beat if it got the front and rolled along

Pal ease.... Barry lews drive on karloo Mick was a shocker, down the back in 31 home in 27.6.. Why did he not run him up the back??? Cos he thought he would just run straight by him. Ill judged drive cost poor Mick the race no excuses. Bennett should have made the trip
