Anyone know anyone who got a helicopter?
Maybe hitch a ride with some Victorian drivers. Some seem to get down the highways in quick time from meeting to meeting!Quote:

quinny freak, just a sit sprinter, yeah right
You better sit down Aussiebrenno and Mighty Atom and other Quinn fans,
cos tonite, that was bloody good!
However i do feel quite a bit vindicated by none other than G Hall Jnr and G Hall. in an interview after the race on Sky, they both said that Quinn had toughened up and "if in a fight, you wouldn't normally wanna be on him" or words to that effect, however now he has seemed to have gained that toughness while, according to Jnr actually lost a little and i say a little of that crazy explosive sprint when first pulled out and asked to go.
Great win!
Cheers Ash. I reckon because getting older losing bit of zip they training him different to toughen him up more eg the race at Pinjarra was a calculated move to drive him tougher.Quote:

It may appear he has lost a little of his sprint but when Mach Beauty is running 55:7 last half and a sectional in 26:8 and ITMQ has taken off from a little worse than midfield it's going to take a little of the sprint edge off him and that probably was the Panella/Tritton plan. Did you notice Devil Dodger tag onto Quinny's cart to get a cart up he just got left behind. As has been said before it's hard to compare different horses from different eras but not in this case I'm Themightyquinn is the greatest pacer of all time. Chris Barsby summed Quinny up perfectly "A Champion, A Legend"-exactly.
As much as we heap praise and admiration on I'm Themightyquinn the same should equally apply to the trainer,reinsman and the team back in Perth. For G.Hall Snr to have Quinny primed to perfection for the major races he has contested over a period of seasons is outstanding.So when you have a combination of a master trainer, master reinsman ( G.Hall.Jr ) and a champion horse then it's going to be very difficult to topple.
Only times he beaten this prep when G Hall jnr not driving him I think. Saw him win inter 2 years back. Huge that day but last night maybe his best. Had no right to win from where he was off back the last time. Nothing better than watching that. Brave horses running.Quote:

As Rod said the Halls deserve just as much praise as Quinny together they are the complete team. I commend hall snr and connections for bringing Quinny over for the Qld winter carnival, I think his fan base on the east coast just increased in huge numbers. I hope they plan to bring him back for the Miracle Mile and Victoria Cup.
Well said Lenny - the Halls would rightfully be VERY popular in Qld.
He's baaaack! Or at least trying to be,
again...
According to Chris Barsby The Quinn is back in work this week for the Hall camp.
Rip down that Beautide poster off your bedroom wall Brenno and get the Quinny poster back up!
If he gets to the ID on his hometrack which of course will be the motivation for him being back in the gig it will be a sight to see and actually quite an historic chapter.
Wow. Honestly reckon he done enough but would be something to come back at his age and win it.
Ps go blues
A much better chance than the Blues for a final anytime soon, I'm afraid Brenno
