I am guessing the covid lockdown has produced all the scratchings at Menangle tonight?

[Yabbie]

yes, any horse outside 'restrictions' area was to be scratched

Racing at their main/metro track means something in NSW

From the first race meeting in January 2022 the base prizemoney for mid-week races run by Club Menangle will increase to $9,800.

Prizemoney for these races will be advertised at $9,996, as NSW pays 102 per cent of base prizemoney to ensure all starters receive a minimum of two per cent.

http://www.harness.org.au/media-room/news-article/?news_id=50636

It would have been great if they had increased it by $4 more - $10,000 has a much better ring to it

I dont think we can complain about boring leader dominated races and then complain when they run a lead time thats on the quick side so a driver tries to show some initiative.

[Messenger]

Yeah, Chris Alford tried it in the Terang Cup too. It doesn't seem to work as well at the bell as it does down the back. Early days of the Sprint lane age, leaders were more inclined to surrender

I was thinking that they had simply done the markets for R6 and R7 first but the other races are still not up - strange/slack

[Messenger]

Races 3 - 10 (all the big ones) have markets up on the TAB today

[aussiebreno]

That is slack but what's criminal is still having a dozen horses in the Miracle Mile market that are ineligible including Self Assured, South Coast Arden and Honolua Bay all around the top of the market. The markets has been updated in the past 24hrs as well because Bondi has tightened and Ego drifted.

Congratulation to Anne and Lauriston for breeding another Oaks winner

[Bonnie]

Thanks Kevin. This one is very special ; a grand daughter of my all time favourite Top Tempo. TT was a hard knocking mare who was as tough as they come. Unfortunately love or money couldn’t save her, she had a tumour and we lost her 18 months ago. She has created a dynasty of female Group1 winners Musical Delight , Queen Of Pop, Speak No Evil (3) ,Just Hope (2) we own all her fillies except one. Dam of 10 foals ; the last one a 2 year old filly ready to trial and a surviving twin filly who was never a racing proposition and is in foal to Poster Boy.

[Messenger]

Top Tempo was certainly an astute broodmare purchase by you.

Here is TT's dynasty folks (open up those + boxes to see more)

https://classicfamilies.azurewebsites.net/CF/Descendants.aspx?HorseID=10028349

I am thinking the filly you did not keep is Musical Delight's full sis Classical Music - she may well add to the dynasty when she goes to the barn

[Bonnie]

We sold Classical Music about 9 months ago after receiving an approach via an agent as we have Musical Delight and her daughter Beach Music. Classical Music should do a good job at stud. She has been retired from racing but I’m not sure what stallion she was bred to.

5yo Fire Fox (Sweet Lou) came across from NZ to join the Grimson stable less than a month ago. He had had 26 starts in NZ mostly on Metro tracks for a record of 4 wins and 9 seconds
His best winning time was 1.56.6 and he had not shown any signs of being able to run much quicker of late although 16mths ago he had been beaten not much more than a length in 1.55.6 over 2600m

Last night he won by 22m at Menangle in 1.49.6

A horse that has won its last two on grass and struggled everywhere else in its last ten starts and comes out and bolts in running 1:49.6! And all of this just 25 days after hopping on the plane from NZ. This is the type of bedtime story you'd tell a horse mad little kid.

Two races earlier Stingray Tara starts favourite and wins easily, just 22 clear days after finishing ninth at Ballarat starting at $71. Another bedtime story with a happy ending!

And, just to be nice, the NSW stewards didn't bother to ask trainer Jason Grimson to explain how he achieved such vast form improvements after just three weeks in his care. Obviously, the stewards believe he is just a great trainer whereas Kevin Townley and Geoffrey Webster are struggling novices.

We are being taken for mugs.

Top Tempo’s daughters Musical Delight and Queen Of Pop produced a winner each at Bathurst last night. RIPP gelding ( Somebeachsomewhere- Musical Delight) and JUST HOPE filly ( Bettors Delight - Queen Of Pop) both won their 3 year old heats of the Bathurst Gold Series.
Both look to have above average ability.

[Messenger]

They certainly do Anne. Just Hope went from $71 winner last start to $1.25 this time. Her time was < 2 secs off Expensive Ego's Tk Rec !
I am going to be interested in why the stewards would have given winner Ripp a QDT?!

http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=BH210322

[Messenger]

In the Bracelet, Just Hope couldn't quite run up to her heat win while Soho Rhapsody came so decisively that I gained the impression that Rickie Alchin expected her to win

In the Chalice, Ripp was just awesome. The stewards did not have to worry about querying this run as he went forward and destroyed them. Commander Buzz did not have a lot of luck and would be the only runner in this race that you would think Ripp might ever have to worry about in the future

There is some debate as to whether they are advancing prizemoney etc or just restoring it to pre Covid levels. The $1m for breeding is certainly new but will it improve numbers for all breeders or just the dominant one, whatever, let's hope it results in an increase in foal numbers

Gold Chalice and Gold Bracelet heats at Bathurst today

Better Be The Best is one impressive horse, the 3 other Chalice winners were all faster but that 26 Q4 was awesome. I wouldn't mind owning Catalpa Rescue either (any of them really) as I think he is going to be one tough older horse

In the Bracelets, Major Delight suffered her first defeat after 9 victories, we wont give up on her ;) as I think Windy Hill Tara may have caught her napping. Tempting Tigress and Jewel Melody was a great heat

In the Bracelet Major Delight proved she was better than the rest of them, as all her rivals had their chance, although Tempting Tigress was a victim of her draw

In the Chalice, Better Be The Best was still the run of the race considering how he blew the start, I reckoned he might have even won if the driver had not panicked but rather opted for one late run at them considering the circumstances - easy in hindsight, I know

[Theoldfox]

Is Nathan Jack suspended? Not driving at Bathurst tonight?

Lux Aeterna simply too good in the Tiara
while Timmy Rictor was the run of the race in the Crown but another victim of the draw

[Danno]

Take a geek at this replay and tell me why there was no formal enquiry into the tactics employed by several drivers...."nothing to see here" :confused:

[Messenger]

The Crown was certainly crazy early on Dan

Jack Callaghan on Bob Sloy was 3½ wide and Rickie Alchin on Soho Spectre decides he is going 4½ wide around him but Jack decides he is going to boot up
Looking at it again I now see that Soho Spectre was probably the run of the race - 2nd line and worse still a little behind at start, asked to go 4w+ and pushed wider, sits in death

And they're asking this of 2yo's

Somebody else asked me why Timmy Rictor did not follow through and try to hold the leader's back?

Hmmm do you think Bernie may have been doing a job on Nathan to help out Brad? It is not every day that you see a horse carving out sub 27 being tackled for the lead by one who has come from the 2nd row. All to no avail as the kid on the winner was reading things beautifully

Hint....look at which horses were going to be 1, 2 and 4 in the running and the possibilty of an easy quarter or two, which might just make the leader's task a bit more comfortable.....I think Bernie may have seen the same move too many times....oops that was too big a hint.;)
