98 horses here, ranked and ready for your consideration
If Ideal For Real fails to make the top 30 by the last round of rankings he could make the handicapper look silly in the following grand circuit events this season.
So many nz bred horses
At least there is the excuse that this is the Inter Dominion Katie even if the NZ bred numbers would make one think it is being hosted in NZ this year. I suppose the concept would think a 50/50 split perfect so I guess 60/40 is not too bad
Is there a Trotter inters still? I take it its held in the east
you have really gotta wonder about the rankings when a horse like Lagoon Stride is ranked well above Shannonsablast, the latter beats the former on every facet except being a WA resident.
It has been replace KatieQuote:

The rankings are taking shape with only a couple of weeks until the final 30 will be announced

NB Ohoka Punter is a sratching

All heats look fairly even and may be a few upsets
I have had a big weekend with my daughter's wedding yesterday so I have missed everything
The http://www.perthinterdominion.com.au site is a joke with no results much less replays
Cody has provided good write ups of Lenny's and Hector's wins

Ps Breno, can you get the photo finish to work?
I am not even hungover and now see that even the HRA results page provides replays - when I think about it I knew that but for some reason thought one state didn't.
PS The photo finish pics work here
PPS Only recently I have caught the Tassie replays which offer the choice of head on or side on or you can actually play both at the same time - the head on is really only different for the home str but the replays are a good quality pic
Disappointing that the Emma Stewart team have been scratched from the Interdom. A long trip for no return.
UnrealQuote:

So, I had a $10 bet with a mate prior to the start of the series that none of the Stewart team would make the final. What happens to my bet? I think he should be paying me, he disagrees!
Nate, I think you should point out to him that if he had had a bet with the bookies that any of Stewart's runners would make the final he would be minus $10
IMO improves integrity, good for the series. Just my opinion and I'm sure I'm not alone. I hope the horses make speedy recoveries .Quote:

I think tonight confirms that the draw is going to have a massive say in whether Lenny or even Bling can beat Hector in the Final - I think Hector has the tricks to handle any draw (would love to see Gavin on him though)
I'll be surprised if Hector wins the final Kev, please don't think I'm "death riding" him, I just think he is a way better horse driven off the pace and those tactics are rarely successful at GP when you up against a field of your peers and I think he is vulnerable near the lead under sustained pressure against a field of top class horses rather than a field where there are another 3 or 4 top class horses....we will see, IMO it will be a relatively open final ( Given the stupid FFA conditions of inters these days) and if I were a bookie, I'd be banking on Hector getting beaten.
The points tally

Lenny will have to prove his fitness this week to be allowed to race in the Final
Run Oneover was mighty impressive last night and this horse is really improving each race

This might end up being the weakest inter dominion final field for some time- perhaps the more experienced/older members might be able to comment on that

All the top horses in the land have made the final so I can't agree that this is the weakest ID final for some time.
I think Adam Hamilton was getting a little over excited with Hector in stating that the horse's 1:56 must be a track record for 2536 metres. The record is I'm Themightyquinn's 1:54:7, a record that will be hard to beat.

Small crowd at the Inters???
Is that it?!!!!
I was always led to believe that GP always got a good crowd - I expected it to be packed for the Inter

Maybe they should publish the crowd figures and then we can compare them to the bigger races interstate or previous crowds at inter dominion finals. Other sports always count the crowd, Statistics don't tell damn lies do they??
Rod, which WA horses are you talking about? Run oneover ? This horse has only been in the country 18 months or is it some of the other half baked kiwi horses. It looks like Emma Stewart bought over 3 horses that were either injured or there was some other reason for being pulled out. Christen Me, Arden Rooney and Have faith in Me are all NZ horses that have all won at least $1.5 mill in prizemoney each and in tough competition and did not enter for various reasons so that is at least 3 top horses that aren't in it. If Lenny the Shark doesn't come up, then it will be IMHO the weakest Inter Dominion final ever.
The only market I can find is Unibet
They have Lenny 4th Fav now at $6.50
Hector is $2.40
Run Oneover $4.00
Bling $5.50
Heard of a horse called Lazarus Rod???Quote:

Welcome back Ash

I know he is a real chance but I suppose the draw is why Run Oneover (2) is so close to Hector (9) in the market
Runoneover went 1.52.5 on Gp. Fastest horse in Oz on that sized track. Hes nothing to sniff atQuote:
