convert most of his WA Cup prizemoney and Fremantle Cup money which is huge and the West Australian Pacing Championships oh sorry, the Australian Pacing Championships and replace all that coin for a regular Saturday night GP free for all money and you now have a real value of his stakes.
Now before the Quinn fan club jump down my throat, consider his competition this weekend...in the ID this year Quinn is equal favorite, then there are 20 horses in that betting market that come before you get to a Perth horse! So its a given that he wins this weekend and any weekend in Perth.
If i owned him i would be giggling all the way to the bank. He is master of that track, its a shame that the Perth ID was a bit of a no race with Trigger not taking part essentially and the other heat winners Reactor and Feelgood running totally out of character, in fact Feelgood undertook a vets exam after the race it was so poor.
In feelgoods heat the week before over same distance he ran the race 3 seconds quicker than the final, so the ability was there, but had a bad day on Final night. A shame that the 3 horses that could finally challenge Quinn on his hometrack with real competition didnt eventuate. Would have been great to see.
But thats racing folks...
