No.2 For A Reason
No.6 Philadelphia Man
No.13 Bit Of A Legend
1. Philadelphia Man
2. For A Reason
3. Arden Rooney
It's going to be a cracking race Kev, Very interesting that Mark Purdon has employed the services of Kerryn Manning, That swayed my selection for 3rd.
For A Reason to lead you would imagine from barrier 2, Philly has to go to death seat??? That'll welcome him to the big time!Quote:

I've got it the other way round mate. I see luke handing up to PM and reckon the SA Cup will be a war of attrition with the second fav in front leaving Gauranteed to do stacks. Can't wait for all the big racing this weekend.Quote:

Yes fantastic racing Brent and all starting Friday night, Really looking forward to it, Many coffee's and a block of chocolate!!
Kerryn to jump off Dad's dual Cup winner then?
Not that he's a chance
Remember that any horse handing up does not have a sprint lane (although they often get a clear run here)

I understand how u are thinking Kev but 2700m doesn't strike me as the kind of trip that FAR leads all the way. 2200 maybe, but seeing that it is only a lead up worth 60k, I reckon if Philly Man idles up alongside early he'll be waved on by. Time will tell. I'm eagerly awaiting one of the corps to open a market.Quote:

I agree Brent I just wanted to remind people that we are not talking about a guaranteed shot at them for the 3 posnQuote:

Kerryn probably goes with the Butterworth horse but Narra Operative is certainly flying.
For A Reason is drawn too well and proven at the class. Philadelphia Man has huge X-factor and is the big danger.
Im Corzin Terror is I think underrated. Ran on nicely in last year's Hunter Cup after not getting away real flash and think this could be his year to show a bit more in these big races.
Arden Rooney for the multiples over Bit Of A Legend based on the barrier draw.
Looking forward to a great race. Cracking field.
TAB & Tatts 1st up- PM $2.10 FAR $2.95 rest double digits
Little Gumdrops must be some sort of first four hope today mustn't she? The talk is FAR holds the front with a lack of early pressure. $7+ the place looks ok.
Yes she's more than capable of getting in the first 4 and $7+ the place is great value.Quote:

lol, 1.7 seconds of the track record. Freak!
Awesome performance by P-Man and good to see Restrepo get back to somewhere near his best.
I should have gone after all just for that one race

Should have been 1.7 off the track record too. I was looking at the record from the stand.

The cycling from Ballarat was on Foxtel just as I was preparing to leave so I stayed home for both - I can live without crowds nowadays
Hey Rob, what was the crowd like?
Did they have any additional catering there? (Although without a dining facility I think they carefully choose that in between meals time slot)
Did they charge admittance?
