Winter!

Heartbreaking. Cant remember who said she would be too far back on the fence. Was always going to be a two horse race. Even if Motu Crusader didnt bleed he wouldnt of got near the winners with the times they ran home in. 32 First quarter was the killer I think. The way Lanercost has been going, no one has got closet to him so I think it shows how good Torque In Motion to have taken ground off him and maybe should have beaten him if she had not run around. Got to remember still only her 2nd prep of racing. Only going to get better. Courage To Rule aint half the horse he use to be, and Lanercost is double the horse he use to be so that argument was crap. Motu Crusader, must be very disappiointing for connections. Would of run 3rd easily following those two horses. Puts a big question mark on the rest of his career now.

And of course Forever gold. $3.20 was bet early, didnt anybody watch the race last week? She's so tough. Cant wait for her to go to Melbourne.

Hi Dazza

Yeah mate that was me who said she might end up 3 back the pegs, i thought one of the others would of come out a little harder and try to get to the peg's and then let Lanercost go to the front. Torque In Motion's run was super and i look foward to down the track when she match's it with her own sex in the big mare's race's.

Hi Dazza in future could we have your expert analysis pre-race. That way I won't waste time doing form only to lose out; I can profit of you!!! Cheers.

Earth to Ramish , come in Ramish , where are you? Are you still hiding and eating your humble pie ?

Now finally you can shut up about how superior CTR is compared to Lanercost.

Ozninja-clearly your reading abilities are limited.I am eating egg and popcorn but I never said ctr was better than Lanercost.I said if Lanercost can lead and get easy early sections he is almost unbeatable but I think ctr is better when they go hard all the way.The best horse on the night won as he should have with the run he had but I wouldn't mind either of them in my ownership

nothing wrong with a little friendly rivalry however i must correct the stats its now 3-3 between lanny and CTR ( u missed the vic derby heat and the gold coast derby )

cheers

OK. Ramish my post was meant to be light-hearted and sorry if you took me seriously.

Any thoughts about why Torque in Motion was so erratic in the straight? I thought she had Lanercost at one stage until she ran all over the track. I can't remember her doing anything that bad before.

Terrible news with Motu Crusader bleeding. Hope can come back as good as ever after the enforced spell.

Hey Ozninja I thought I was been lighthearted too!!The joy of racing is that we are wrong more than we are right.

I don't think Torque would have beaten Lanercost if she ran straight.He would have kicked if she was next to him rather than been out wide but her running out was odd.Has she done that before?

is it fact Motu bled?Luke said after the race he choked down

Hi Ramish

Stewards report say's Motu Crusader bled and has been stood down 3 months, 1 trial and a vet's certificate.
