As I am off to the Horsham Historical Society before this meet (to explore my great, great grandfather's claims to be the founder of Horsham)
I am going to highlight some of the breeding of the horses - particularly those just beginning their racing careers
I was trying to split the 2yo's in the first and couldn't so I went to the pedigrees. Of course Madeeba being Messini's half bro looks a standout but I thought his first start suggested he has a lot to learn. The opposite on that scale as far as racing goes is Streetside Classic who has already had 5 starts and led Madeeba up 3w when they met (and finished right next to him). Last start he had a horror draw, he or Kerryn got caught napping at the 800 and after that just ran into deadends. Back to pedigree - well Metropolitan has not done much downunder except for Exciteusinthecity and Metro Mike who is a real outcross being out of a Chandon (Classic Gary) mare. Maybe Streetside Classic from a Classic Gary mare can make a horse too. If he we see a favourite at silly odds, I might opt for him instead.
In Race 2 the 3yo we have a first starter in Night Performer by The Warp Drive. It would have been good for the industry if this son of Albert Albert could have made a sire. Patronage for him has been lacking and he has not got nearly enough to the track. If Night Performer becomes one - he will be TWD's third only winner
4yo first starter in the 4th, Byebyeguy is the last foal of Able Lynne who has produced a few goodies

While appearing to pretty much be an outcross with Union Guy, I was intrigued with how many siblings the pedigree has in the first 7gens. If you have Pedigree Partner check it out.
Of course Union guy has siblings Walton Hanover and Wendymae Hanover 2x2 in his half for starters but one cross that I find very interesting is the 3rd gen Adioo Time (dam of Able Bye Bye) in the bottom half matched with her ¾bro Good Time 4 times in the 6th & 7th gen in the top half.
There are some good class races later in the program so it should be a good day
