Haven't seen any trial form Breno but being by Art Major, The little brother could be every bit as good as Menin Gate.Quote:

I am on the ball today TC ;)
There are 2 first starters
Barry Purdon's is the first foal of a daughter of Misty Maiden and therefore mum is a half sis to Lombo Pocket Watch and closely related to Suave Stuey and Lombo Skyrider
(Barry also has 2yo F Ideal Eagle having her 2nd start against older company in the last)
10.10pm six of the seven in the 2yo at Newcastle are first starters
Newcastle first starter Gotta Go Gold by G G Cullect wins in 1.57.2 Watch out for Shadow Runner from same stable on debut.Related to Gotta Go Gold through Miss Prissy.Has been trialling as good if not better than tonights winner.

Plenty of interest in the 2yo at Maryborough at 6.08 pm today with Menin Gate's half bro - Soho Rockefeller having his first start
Soho Rockefeller ran into a perfect storm for his first race with John Justice on the leader making sure nothing was going to make easy ground from back in the field.
The winner who sat in the Death and rated 1.55.8 for his first ever start was fantastic
Dont Hold Back is from a ¾ sister to Garnet River (2nd dam is Gemfire)
2yo Fillies Sapling Stakes Race 4 at Melton tonight
Salty Robyn wins the Gp2 in 1.53.9 despite galloping out

I note the breeders of the winner.
Have I seen that name within the forum contributors? If so congratulations.
Can run a swift quarter as the final shows on an "off" track.
Correct about the Breeders Tony, Waikiki Beach was mighty impressive in its first run, A must watch Folks.
Forgot to give everyone a memo for that one Tony - missed it myself. Off to the video
Waikiki looked awesome coming home in 26.7Quote:

Thanks boys . They have really liked him all along,he was a lovely yearling ,his mother was a roach back so did well really considering her problems. Beach out of betters mare are probably close to the best cross in the world today, and i just happen to have a weanling full brother in the paddock. Third dam left Chandon so the family has a touch of speed.
Surprisingly your side of the Image line has not had a Gp1 since Chandon's bro Salinger in 1997 - here's hoping you correct that GregQuote:

Milly Scott's descendents are worth having a look at:
http://www.classicfamilies.net/CF/De...rseID=10012895
The 1st at Kilmore today (not until 2.45) sees 5 new 2yo's in a field of 9
And there are some very good 'Strides' amongst them
Genuine Stride - a Four Starzzz Shark half bro to Excel Stride,
Dragon Stride - a Four Starzzz Shark half bro to Grand Stride
and $120k purchase - Supreme Stride whose dam was the very good filly Morgan Abby (half sis to one of last season's star 2yo's Its Only Rocknroll)
http://www.harness.org.au/form.cfm?mc=KI260215#1
Lots of interest in that race Kev, Hopefully Soho Lexington can put it all together, Very impressive in his first run at Shepparton but still a bit green and can do a lot wrong, Fingers crossed they've ironed out a few kinks in his make up and it certainly should be a great contest.
This afternoon at 4.06 and 5.06 AEDT we have 2 more heats of the Young Guns in NZ (It is the Northern Oaks meet - 7.05pm)
http://infohorse.hrnz.co.nz/datahr/fields/022702fd.htm
And on Sunday at 2.13 there is the Gp3 Leonard Memorial (Between the Ladyship and Derby at Menangle)
Purdon wins both Guns heats.
Don't forget Christmas Jolt going around in the 2nd last tonight to make it 5/5 (and only has 5 to beat, including 2 stablemates)
Dont Hold Back - WOW (I always liked Gemfire)
2yo's running 1.53 at Melton and we are not even half way into the season (close I know)
The AllStar team quinellaed (how do you spell that :confused:) the American Ideal Leonard Memorial Stakes Gp3 at Addington today
http://infohorse.hrnz.co.nz/datahr/r...30rs.htm#Race9
The winner is Pembroke Benny's half sis
The breeding record of the dam of todays Ballarat 2yo winner Celebrity Guest seems most unusual
Celebrity Ball was a decent 2yo herself winning 3 races including a Breeders Crown heat and came 5th in the Gp1 Gold Tiara final WHILE IN FOAL
for she had her first foal that year
then she returned to racing back in foal and won a Breeders Crown heat as a 3yo too - the foal she was carrying however is listed as deceased
http://www.harness.org.au/ausbreed/r...orse_id=532283
http://www.harness.org.au/ausbreed/r...orse_id=532283
Her dam is Larrakeyah Lady and it would seem her owners wanted a racehorse but could not wait for her to be a broodmare
i reckon the foal was an ETQuote:

I thought this was a heats and final event but looking at the form of some of the starters it would seem not - TC will be able to fill me in

Delight Me's little bro going around at Ballarat at 8.02
This replay is a must see folks, Time wasn't anything flash but the winner is a real nice horse in the making.Quote:

The Tassie 2yo colt Blingittothemax has tripped over, in the hands of D Hancock.
I have been falling down on the job as far as reporting on the 2yo races
