    Interesting Trev, I had overlooked when he was exported and did not realize it was so short as I was going on his last start in NZ being back in April
    He was exported on 27/10 and even prior to the wins, he was trialing at Menangle in 1.52 on 8/11
    You wouldn't think they could put the polish on a horse that quickly - maybe they use a rag to apply the polish

    9 different trainers and 10 different drivers winning on Vicbred Finals night is a real positive

    It has to be a tough gig being a driver
    Take R1 at Hamilton today
    Jackie Barker has done a remarkable job on 40m horse Icicle to get it into the 1x1 early and then took the spot behind the leader when it presented itself early on - no doubt figuring Icicle had travelled 40m further than those around him and that the leader was a more popular conveyance than the death horse so let's take it easy and wait for the sprint lane later
    With 400 to go she becomes worried that the leader is not going to take her far enough and tries to get out but Kerryn in the 1x1 is having none of it
    I will let you watch it rather than spoil the end of the movie

    ps the margins in the results are wrong - they should read NK x Nose

    Noel pointed out to me just how well Marg Lee's stable is going
    Click on her name in the fields or results (I don't know another way of accessing the trainer and driver info)
    and you will see she has won 6 of her last 10

    Nephew Glen Craven is driving more and brought up a treble at Cranbourne last night

    Mark Pitt cannot be driving 2 horses in the Hunter Cup
    If the authorities cannot confirm drivers they should leave an empty space - NOT put a driver down for 2 horses

    Why? At least having a name there you know the intention and you can make more educated guess at what will transpire. Which is Pitt first choice driver depending on stable selection (likely influenced by draws). Blank name you have less of an idea of stables intentions and less chance of knowing what will probably happen.

    Edit: Or in the event its a driver down for 2 seperate stables how are the trainers supposed to know when nominating. If driver down for both people can make educated guess on who they will drive and/or have been made aware they are preferred driver for each horse. Blank name just leaves too much unknown.

    You have to be kidding Brendan
    Blank name means they do not know - that is the fact of the matter
    It is blatant misinformation to put down the same driver for 2 horses

    Would you rather a 50/50 chance of knowing who is driving or a 1 in a 1000 chance of knowing who is driving?
