I can't see Lenny winning the final if he has missed work. If he does then he must really be special !
3 runs last week and 7 days between runs. I don't think he is going quite as well as he has been past 18 months so can't see him winning but don't think missing work will be much of a factor.Quote:

Rod, the two WA horses should give their owners some value in the final. My hard copy is another horse missing from the InterDom as well. I am not sure what his future holds.
Lenny the Shark must be a chance if he races without injury, he has done nothing wrong in the heats.

my dads place , my dad said Mark what are you doing here & he said Joe your two horses are racing today , my dad said ....bugger it , I haven't worked them for 10 days Mark , he thought for about 10 seconds & said oh they will be right you can not lose fitness in 10 days.....low & behold the first one ran 2nd after being flattened at the start & the 2nd one broke the track record winning easily .Reckon Lenny should be fine. Good luck to all in Final & consolation.
Can only talk for human fitness but the idea is called tapering. Taper off your training in the week or two leading up to a big race for best results.Quote:

Who would have thought that the dominant sire-line in this field is the Direct Scooter line?
And all 6 are sired by sons or grandsons of the Direct Scooter import In The Pocket
The 12 in the field, including emergencies are:
Direct Scooter: (6) ..Volomite sireline
Run One Over... Changeover/In The Pocket/ Direct Scooter
Our Jerico ... Tomahawk/Christian Cullen/In the Pocket/Direct Scooter
John of Ark... Courage Under Fire/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
France Nelson... Christian Cullen/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
Smolda... Courage Under Fire/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
The Bucket List ... Christian Cullen/In The Pocket/Direct Scooter
No No Nukes: (3) ..Meadow Skipper sireline
Our Jimmy Johnson... PForty Seven/The Panderosa/Western Hanover/No Nukes
Bling It On ... American Ideal/Western Ideal/Western Hanover/No Nukes
Beaudine Boaz ... Badlands Hanover/Western Hanover/No Nukes
Cam Fella: (2)... Meadow Skipper sireline
Bettors Fire... Bettors Delight/Cams Card Shark/Cam Fella
Lennytheshark... Four Starzz Shark/Cams Card Shark/Cam Fella
Abercrombie: (1)... Adios sireline
Hector Jayjay... Dream Away/Artsplace/Abercrombie
As an aside: The turnaround to Direct Scooter blood continues with the success of the Matt Scooter son Mach Three and his amazing son Somebeaachsomewhere...and the promise of Auckland Reactor.
As I mentioned in an earlier post - I am calling it the In The Pocket dominance Noel
Lenny's vet inspection is today - hopefully the results will be known soon
