Hi Dan . I suppose you never know but now that I'm Victorious has draw the 1 barrier they may regret nominating for both . I wonder what happens if he scratches from WA . Any ideas ?

I am surprised they pushed on with Scandalman, he clearly isn't suited at Menangle. A far superior horse on 1000m tracks IMO. I actually thought they were going to WA.
On the big track on the lead I think Scandalman hears the footsteps Mitch.
Karloo Kix did it to him on Miracle Mile night by sticking with him in the lane, maybe getting to him a tiny bit further out and Mark's horse did it to him again on Saturday night, again by going with him when he threw his best at them & staring him down through a 26.8 closer. Look up the definition of the word 'Grit' in the dictonary...there'll be a picture of Waldenburg. 3 wide, to the breeze, leader kept rolling and still Mark's horse aimed up and gunned him down. Very impressive.
I think they want him to race in WA Derby as Rob Watson is based there, but flights are very unreliable so im guessing they entered in NSW derby heats in case flight doesnt eventuate
That is the explanation given on In The Gig on MOnday night. If they can get to WA they will, otherwise off to NSW.Quote:

Scandalman will be found out on the big track.
The way these races clash is terrible and it keeps happening year after year. Why there can't be greater co-operation State to State is beyond me. Surely it's for everyone's benefit? WA wise, I agree Brad. The combined powers of Gracias Para Nada & Jnr (who is in career best form as a driver) on GP's 'Circle Of Death' will likely prove to be too much. Waldenburg to take it all here in NSW. It has been a while since a better Derby prep. has come our way than that which he posted at Menangle last Saturday. He looked very sharp. Blake has him primed & ready.
