I have a feeling SU gets rolled tonight

Am also having something on PBenny ew

PS - there is a lovely full sister to PBenny in the NZ yearling sales:):)

Been trying to stay quiet cause i thought Pbenny was a really good bet, but i guess everyone is thinking down the same line. great race cant wait

I will have something little each way on Pembrook Benny from the draw.

Smoken Up
Pembrook Benny
Sushi Sushi

but as you (and I) have said - he was beaten last year here (after getting to death)

They got me again, here I was thinking that we would get to watch live racing.%$·$%·it's like foreplay with out the sex

What, they did the same as the Victoria Cup? Absolute bullshit and false advertising.

You're not wrong - apologies to anyone who stayed at home (instead of heading to a Sky outlet) like me and missed the race because of my 'live streaming' post

At odds of 100/1, does that make Highview Tommy Harness Racing's version of 'Dandy Andy'?

All week the 'match race' was billed, but someone forgot to tell 'Tommy' the script!

Got to the club just in time too watch the race - I was originally skeptical of the live streaming. A good 20 people stood around and watched the race, up on the handful who normally take interest so that was a positive.
Sushi Sushi what a good run and done what no 4yo has done since Shaka and CUF - that being more than held their own taking on the grand circuit.

Congrats to Highview Tommy but Sushi Sushi lost no admirers.

Huge run, went super.

I hope they don't overtax Sushi as a 4yr old. He's a super horse and should just now go back to his age features for the rest of the season.

They've done a super job managing his races and the horse up to this point, no need to go undoing their work getting too excited and going to well too often.

Sushi ran his last mile in 1.55.8 and got beaten!!!! Lost no admirers imo.

I don't know what their other choices were for an open debut but the 400m further than he has raced before ALMOST did not matter. Smoken wanted to turn it up for a second on the bend - has he ever done that before?
