Stylish Lazarus asked to do too much tonight and found wanting - he looks pretty gangly (a 2yo?)Quote:

David Moran is the Managing Owner of Timmy Rictor but while he drove it himself, he is being trained by Emma Stewart (? because he wants the best for it?)
The locals gave him the visitors treatment in the run but he just ran away from them in 1.54.9 for his first start = Most Impressive
It is looking like it should be a great final - Timmy Rictor, Chart Topper, Soho Spectre
A good weekend for Vincent, with Hammer Dan winning at Melton and Tembie winning at Globe Derby. Both won easy; Tembie (out of a Live Or Die mare) leading all the way by 16.5 metres in 1:58.5 and Hammer Dan (from a Big Jim mare) by 11 metres in 1:56.3 after death-seating all the way. Admittedly, Tembie beat only a poor 4 horse field but was impressive.
Interesting to note Hammer Dan is now with Andy Gath after having his first two starts for Nathan Jack. Anybody know why?
Vincent is now holding his own as a sire, a difficult task for an Aussie-bred and resident stallions. After watching Sherlock beat Merlin on his merits last night at Alexandra Park I get the feeling he will remain a commercially relevant stallion.
Interesting as also drove Mach Dan for the owner in Miracle Mile. Same night as Sapling.Quote:

26yo Badlands Hanover's last 2 foals (he only sired 2 in his last season) were both involved in today's heats
Both were having their first start but both had trialed extensively
Filly Road To Sarina was second favourite but galloped twice
While colt Badlander ran second in his heat
How beautiful is Bay Of Biscay

Very light on APG heats at Melton tomorrow (a reflection of the demise of the company in Vic)

The big APG Finals at Menangle last night saw an easy win to filly Eye Believe but just a nose between the Stewart stable pair in the colts. You have to say that when you compare the runs Stormryder was pretty stiff to go down to War Dan Buddy

Dougs Flame makes his debut in the 2yo at Melton on Saturday night. He is a ½ bro to Dougs Babe
He is Flaming Flutter's one and only foal - does anybody know why FF has only ever served one mare or wasn't he supposed to have done that either
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...23#MXM13052308
Thats interesting whether by design or desire. Also interesting is the timing of Flaming Flutter going from Websters up to Trittons in Sydney - he must have thrown a leg over just before leaving.Quote:

You would hope that a horse that won the best part of a million has been cared for
He went to US Kev. I saw a pic of a filly born end April over there that he sired.
He's 14 by US standards, still a bull, still owned by Team Tritton. He must be a lovely old horse to still be an entire.Quote:

Not sure there is a 2yo more deserving of winning a race that hasn't quite broken through yet than Gotta Lockheed
I don't think he will be waiting long Brendan
A 2yo starting at $1.04 in his first start - unbelievable
Will provide link when HRV sort out their problems
They're back

Nominations for the Nutrien 2yo pacing series have been terrible. 5 fillies in Victoria, including a couple of NSW fillies after their heat didn't stand up. 10 colts/geldings in NSW heat and 4 nominated in Victoria. $175k final for each, where are the stock from these sales?
In the US, Always B Miki 2yo Newsroom ran 1.50.1 parked all the way!

MAXNJAX is one for your blackbook. Not likely to get odds as he was just about equal favourite at his first start today
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...23#YGC07082307
Good luck tomorrow Katie

Bloody horses :( Running great at home, nearly gallops in his race. Couple gear changes, will try again Monday and if no good, out for a good long spell.Quote:

I think this son of Pelicanarama might be pretty good.Quote:

You will see with 1½ laps to go that Josh Dickie notices he has a flat inside tyre
Down the back the last time (and watch the returning to scale) you can see the separation between the rim and the tyre.
Once again he savages the line, even though he didn't need to

Sports Narrator won the 2yo R1 at Swan Hill today. $3.80 I wonder where the confidence came from - just the draw?

Katie's going around at Pinjarra in about 15mins

A sound run today but I see what you mean about there being plenty of depth in WA's 2yo ranks this yearQuote:
