Exciting stuff (very marketable you would think)
I love it when the driver does not even need a whip

Race was over at the 400! great sprint!

[Smoken]

CP pounced on them! Great run! I remember MM not long ago was winning nearly everything.. How quickly it can change. Good run still. Brigadier Bronski is another who was showing massive potential.
SSL a little to good for Quinny tonight, and that definitely was no trial Nike Franco, way to good for the rest. Forever Gold, to good. BIO, good win, Allelujah fantastic run, another few metres he would have won.
Can't wait for the BAF feature!

Blacks A Fake Group 1.
Mach beauty to lead.
Will Stuey go forward and be given the lead? Good chance...
Avonnova bad draw inside back row,will be his biggest test. Will he stay there and hope to be 3 pegs over the 13 furlongs, or go back and try come around at some point doing a lot of work?
Quinn does nothing sits back, probably gets a trail up in the 3 wide train, outsprints them wins.

I reckon u r spot on Ash. MB hands over to the stablemate, Avonnova 3 pegs. Quinny probably does win but the price won't be a fair indication of his chances. My tip, MB each way all day......7.50/1.90 with Tatts.

Good odds about MB!!! The pace should be a cracker and no doubt Quinny will be finishing off strongly, Might be some nice value with the exotic's in this one.

Option 2 is SSL death seats but waits for Avonnova to give him the 1/1. would be dumb to let Quinn go past to death cos then Avonnova would maybe want the death giving Quinn the 1/1 again, i imagine they should've learnt how silly that idea was already.

One things for sure, Avonnova will follow thru behind MB. If there's a chance thereafter to get off of the pegs he may take it....I'm hoping he stays, it's his best chance of victory. Pretty sure MB has only handed up the lead once (Smoken Up) over the past couple of seasons so it will be a major COT to hand up to the stablemate. IMO that's the best chance Tritton's runners do have of toppling the champ this week.

Yeah maybe they sit out front like a rolling blockade going slow, keeping anything from getting the death if it does come, and try to sprint home again sub 55...??

Bart Cockburn, sacked from Avonnova after Sunshine Sprint drive, will now partner Suave Stuey Lombo for @trittonharness in Gr.1 BlacksAFake.

His trainer and owners must have been viewing this forum :p
Obviously trainer must have thought Avonnova could have faired better being in the 1/1!
He will probably win now being on SSL :)

Have you got a source for this sacking story Smoken?

It cannot be the harnessracingqueensland site - they have 3 Latest News stories rotating on their home page and one is a preview for last saturday :rolleyes:

Straight from Chris Barsby's Twitter Kev.

Shane Graham listed as driver...........for what reason I certainly don't know.........but PERHAPS connections thought better of his drive a fortnight ago (unlike 90% here)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two awesome seconds to Beautide and Im Themightyquinn lately. He is going super and connections ought to be over the moon. But he had a perfect trip and if he was good enough he should have beaten ITMQ on Saturday night. It's not the drive. It's just that you can't beat a champion.

What the?? He was beaten last Satdy, no?? And the connections (+ myself) obviously reckon your incorrect regarding the sunshine sprint.
