Selections- Miracle Mile meeting- Open at own risk

[aussiebreno]

heavy 9 at Cantebury but the weather looks good up there.

Some more lays for Ringman.

I've fallen behind too far in the HRNSW Tipping comp so haven't bothered to read form - instead my strategy revolved around a dartbound.

Rc1 Jacka Clive Lost all chance at the start. I thought The Smiler was bloody disapointing in this.
Rc2 Liston Nope
Rc3 Tiny Module At 100/1 and still hasnt seen daylight. Third beaten 3m despite not getting a clear run. To say I'm gutted is an understatement.
Rc4 Ayu Gypsy 2nd
Rc5 Mabrook 2nd
Rc6 Hesa Buzzin Knew the favourite was a false favourite but tipped the wrong one to beat him. Washakie a great run.
Rc7 Sundons Gift Not going as good but nice win by the winner.
Rc8 Im Themightyquinn 3rd
Rc9 Scandalman Beaten
Rc10 Buckeye Nation 1st saved me from total embarassment

Stuck to those shorter in the market except for my knockout tip Tiny Module

If only Tiny Module seen daylight.

Race1- Strike Up The Band ($9.20 & 5th)

Race 2- Mach Ruler (wasn’t in the race, Mach Wiper got up at $1.80 fav)

Race 3- Lous Lad ( 1st at $1.80 fav)

Race 4- Eilis Rose (1st at $10.00)

I went a bit better than I thought.
5 out of 10...$1.80, $1.80, $10.00, $10.20 & $1.50...but I'd still have starved to death.

I've always said he is an exciting horse. But he hasn't proven himself to be a top class miler. More than happy for the connections if he turns out to be a superstar sprinter. I just want the best PROVEN milers in the most prestigious mile race in Australasia. It's not an "up and comers" event in my opinion.

Ahh what. Karloo Mick has never been a miler and IMTQ is 1/7 in Aust at the mile.

I bookended all night Breno. I was either winning or motherless. A very mercurial performance on the punt.

Btw, BIG-TIME props to The Big Mile who was standing there large as life on-course with his I-pad & phone in hand & betting the house down across corporates, Betfair, various Totes & the Bookies. The future of on-course punting, no risk whatsoever. The Number 1 Club supplies their Punters with I-pads at the TB's I'm told. Something to give some serious consideration to for Menangle.

Not a miler 2 x top runs in he Mile not too bad for a horse that's not a miler did you not see his run's in the sunshine sprint etc you have to be tough to run a great mile not a speedy squib he got beat 2.3 mts going 50.8 won the sunshine sprint, cordina sprint,heat of the Inter's look up his form for the journey then tell me he isn't a good miler

Yeah absolutely blitzed Mick Hardy at the Eugowra Mile.
I'm not saying he is a bad miler. He obviously isnt.
But that poster tried to have a crack at TTL by I guess saying he is a 2 miler only because of his NZ Cup and now Miracle Mile failure. When distance really doesn't mean too much in harness racing. Remember TTL beat home Mick last week and started shorter price than him last night....
Greg its clear you have a bias towards Karloo Mick and are very sensitive to anything said about him. Relax.

Woosh! You've missed the point entirely. What I'm saying is that horses can prove they will make high class milers by performing well in fast run, high quality, longer distance races. for example Karloo Mick. TTL hasn't done that yet NOR performed well in high quality mile events. That was my issue with his invite.

This is why I would say ITMQ has proven his ability mile wise by his other performances. Performances that are vastly superior to TTL. For the reason his existing mile performance don't back that up please see this informative post. http://www.harnessracingforum.com/sh...ll=1#post13133

Oh! And as far as Karloo Mick not being proven in the highest class mile race possible? Enjoy reading some of the other horse names in this little known event and the mile rate.

Terror To Love beat home Karloo Mick in the Cordina - a vital lead up race. On that performance 7 days prior to the Miracle Mile there is no way he should have been in the field. .
Hey Sokyola and Westburn Grant are also proven great horses at the Mile; why weren't they in the field?
It's rare a winner of the NZ Cup does not get an invite. But I don't think a horse who's finished second last in the Cordina has ever got an invite and I doubt many thirds have from the Newcaslte Mile.

I prefer proven horses not horses who happen to finish ahead in lower class races. We'll have to agree to disagree on that. I'm just glad Karloo Mick provided the excitement that TTL was utterly incapable of providing.
