Agreed

Agreed again

Good write up Trevor.

Usually the Vic Derby early in the season would seed your top 3yos. We're now late in the season and they haven't seeded themselves because they have barely raced. Little oddity.

Did you hear that Brendan - stewards will be looking at Act Now warming up

Missed it. Is there an issue with him?

Would seem so, in their eyes
(Maybe explains why he needs a drip within 24hr of racing?)

Petracca looked Seed 1 as an early 2yo but failed to get the results. Tonight gets the result and goes back to Seed 1. Reserve judgement on where he sits in history or moving forward because it was a strange race with Sherlock stopping and Lost Storm out the back.

and Perfect Class probably the run of the race

ps Where is Britanny being beamed to - not really seen on the main 3 Sky Channels or is it she on the TAB ap channel

we must always listen to brendan

Early prognosis for Sherlock upon returning to scale was atrial fibrillation. Very disappointing, he was travelling like a winner down the back and his wheels fell of. Back to NZ Monday for him.
