Muskeg Express my fav cross CC over Seelster mare
Pretty sure i read somewhere that the reason why the kiwis are coming over for the Derby is that there 3yos are up and running, compared to ours. Such as Royal Verdict having his first race start back from a spell.
And Aussiebreno to state that a horse with no gate speed can't win a Vic derby. Go back to Tanabi bromac winning. Front runners goin hard up front and the sweepers coming from the back to WIN. So he still might sprint hard in the finish!!!!!!
I didnt say a horse with no gate speed cant win a Vic Derby. What I said was "He has no gate speed which has him behind the 8ball from the start. I cannot see him winning the Vic Derby." I had a full stop, meaning two different sentences and two different ideas. This is an integral part of the English language I picked up in primary school, something you have failed to grasp. I say this because a) you thinking I said Empirific cant win the Vic Derby because of his lack of gate speed and b) your above sentences where you use Royal Verdict as an example for an Aussie 3yo who isnt up and running yet.
You might want to revisit Tanabi Bromac's Derby. 73.8 lead time, 63.4 first half and last half in 56.7. Compare this to the year before when LPW led and won, lead time in 73.6, 60 neat first half, 57.2 last half 1.59.2MR. Tanabi Bromac was just downright better than his opposition - it had nothing to do with how the race was run.
I absolutely hand on heart can't make any selections for the VIC Derby Heats or the Final because there are not only a swag of horses engaged that I'm a fan of but there are half a dozen horses that I can make a solid case for to take it all. The overall depth of this year's fields are terrific IMO. Can't wait for the 1st Heat. Cheeky Shiraz firmly in hand, very large Beef Fillet in the Oven. Excellent.![]()
modern art isnt half the sire bettors delight, mach three and cullen are
So Empirific showed why he is a 2nd stringer- dont take that comment too seriously guys.
Deja vu with the Breeders Crown here I'd reckon - Royal Verdict will be much better than that next week - not that he didnt go good tonight. Good tipping Hutchy with Abettorpunt. Didnt really watch it finish off the race but Jadahson unlucky not to qualify for the final - horses just kept stopping in front of it. I'm tipping Nathan Jack wont be too happy with Chris Alford.
