Purdon wouldnt send her if she wasnt going to be right in it.
Beautifully bred filly being by Rocknroll Hanover out of Tandias Courage didn't race as a 2yo and since starting her race career as a 3yo she has raced against the best in n.z and has aquitted herself well. I'd agree with you there Dazza i don't think Mark would be bringing her over if he didn't think she had a good chance. It looks like the Queensland oaks will have some exciting runner's from all over.
its starting to look like a real contest! it will be interesting to see how Mark's filly goes against the locals. its always hard to measure them up.
whats everyone tips for the big races at Gold Coast tonight?

Terrible run by Courageous Annie. Anyone hear of any reports if there was a problem? She is so much better than that run showed.
BTW, as I have mentioned elsewhere , I do have some talents , but tipping winners has certainly never been my strong point :-(
Congrats Mighty Mo - well done on a deserved win!! :)
I must say however - Forever Gold went like a Monster. For the race to run in 1:56 for 2100m and to be in the death - and only get beat a couple of lengths by a horse who had a beautiful run and a beautiful drive (taking no credit away from the winner here, she ran the time and beat good horses) - what a filly that Forever Gold is. I really started to sit up and take notice when she beat the colts that time. How great it is for Kylie to have Forever Gold and ChaChing ChaChing. Well done. :)
Also , although the race was not full of top class 2YO's , I thought the run of Cha Ching Chaching was quite impressive. The person that named her , deserves a prize, great name indeed.

Annie was kicking the sulky which caused her to overace badly. Im sure that will be corrected for next week and we will have a nother great race with the addition of Vertigal, Tatjiana Bromac and Awaywith the fairies as well. I cant wait
"We needed luck and we got it. Im hoping a few fellow listers can wipe the egg off their face this morning" - mightymo
Yes, well done mo.
You are right, still wiping egg off my face after my hopeless tipping last night. Going into the meeting , I was reasonably confident. OK , will hope to do better , tomorrow is another day :-)
Silly Annie- she will be right, shes a fighter!
It may not have been brimming with quality but it still had the APG and Seymour winners in it :) So they certainly weren't all slouches!!Quote:

At time of writing Baby Bling hadn;t won a 2100m race in 1.56...in fact she'd only just got beaten in 2.04 over 2500 by 13m. A bit of improvement in the formguide don't you think? As I said in prior post I think the starting odds suggested that.Quote:

great race and the first 4 place getters went super , great drive by luke on the winner and the run of forever gold was amazing.
I hope you dont punt for a living:):)Quote:

That run actually told us we had a very nice filly!
Im only having a bit of good natured ribbing... we all get things wrong. As a 2yo, I once described Amongst Royalty as a speedy squib. THe "squib" went on to win over 500K!!!!
Thats terrible news about Annie. It was very obvious last night that something was troubling her. I hope you can fix whatever the problem is, as great horses like her deserve to grace our racetracks. She is far too young to be retiredQuote:

I Love that vertigal is going to queensland will add another dimension to the race. Really sad to hear about annie would of been a cracker of a race with her in it. Ill wait for the draws now before i put forward my tip. (still a soft spot to M.Purdon)
Queensland Oaks
1. Jennas Highview
2. Baby Bling
3. Zenyatta
4. Vertigal
5. Princess Avatar
6. Awaywiththefairies
7. Tatijana Bromac
8. Kiana Frances
9. Rainbow Dasher
10. Forever Gold
11. The Twilight Dancer
i think after last weeks race im going to go with forever gold, did alot of work last week and still punched on but there are 6 or so chances there that wouldnt suprise me if they won imo
I think 3,5,11 must be there to make up the numbers.
harsh mango but im with you there, i noticed the 75k prize money really doesnt appeal to victorians add a few of them and it would be an amazing race
Hi Remington
It would be a great race if a few of the Vic fillies went up for the race and harsh maybe but being honest at the same time, you only need to go through and have a look at there form.
Thetwilightdancer is still an awesome oaks quality filly in any other year. It is just that NSW fillies this year is a gem of a crop. Zenyatta actually won at Penrith in 2.04.5 20 starts back. Amazing! This 3yo crop of fillies has no superlatives.
If the three are there to just make up the numbers and the owners are bored with them , I'll volunteer to take them off their hands:-) Not many owners even dream about having a filly good enough to be included in this field.
Seen posts like this before and sometimes the writer is scraping egg of his face for a week after the race. I don't think they are genuine chances myself , but they are there , so lets feel happy for a lot of lucky owners and wish them all the best of luck , as with all the owners.
Hi Breno
The Twilight Dancer, Zenyatta were both beat by 20m + last wkend by Vertigal and to me the Queensland Oaks is a better field than the 3yr old Breeders Challenge fillies final.
Thats true not many owners get a filly into an Oaks field but to get 3 is a good job, i wonder how many fillies nominated for the race and if you were going to put up fixed odds what would these 3 fillies be.Quote:

Luke has always been her driver. Ben only drove her( and all Luke's other horses) when Luke was away with Mr Feelgood in NZ and then also when Luke took Mach Wiper to Vic for the Vicbred final.Quote:
