How far will Im Themightyquinn win by?
Please post your pick.
Odds are:
Won't win: $11
< 1 length: $3
1-2 lengths: $2.50
> 2 lengths: $2.50
Where can I get $11 that he wont win ? Would love some of that. I don't think he will make the first four !
Don't die wondering !
Brave lot those who aren't picking Quinny. Too scared to post now, but will come out in droves should he lose![]()
Happy to put my name up Brendon, as i and others have mentioned many times "too many things" need to go right for him to win. i totally believe he can win, but, the stars all have to align and the Gods must all agree. If he is "out" and under big pressure at the top of the LOOOONG Menangle straight, his little heart will pop about 50m out. So Hall has all the pressure on him to conserve his little baby 99.9% until the last 150m, if he can do that and of course not use ANYTHING at the start he is in with a chance.
I'm hoping it plays out for an ITMQ Vs Terror To Love stretch drive. That'll be one for the ages. You'll tell your grandkids about it.
ITMQ can of course win but I dont think he will...I think Mah Sish & Caribbean Blaster will run strong races up front & I just got a feeling ITMQ will not be close enough to run them down..Terror to Love will be the main danger if close enough at the end...Pub Blitz being the dark horse,he has impressed me no end..so many "what if's"...should be a corker
Fully agree and my "opinion" was posted well before the heats and barrier draw."IMO" the draw has not done GHj any favours at all.If he goes back,as he has said is his preferred racing pattern,the second row horses become obstacles to dropping into a 1 x 4 possie. Luck's a fortune but it is more likely that he will need to go right back rather than lob mid-field.
The really interesting scenario is if GHj decides to go forward,lead then hand up ASAP, [and the horse has the speed to do that].
First problem, is that the horses drawn inside will not want to hand up and even if GHj gets the front we know he will hand-up hoping to get sucked along leading to second problem.
There will be more than one horse/driver wanting to get to the front over 3200.It is quite likely that ITMQ could be four back on the rails and could GHj rely on the good manners of the other drivers to let him off the fence when he needs a run?
What is TTL doing while all of this is going on? Well may we ask,"how many beans make five?"
Buggered if I know, but the barrier draw has made it a most intriguing race,run to first turn will be charge of the Light Brigade but the moves in running will be fascinating.
As I have wondered about how the race will be run, a little niggle comes along that this final might provide a boilover.Who could it be is the question?
Based on Chariot Kings current speed out of the gate i see him wanting to cross the 1 and 2 horses and get to the pegs and hibernate. Adam Hamilton says Lincoln Royal is extremely fast out and he reckons he can lead and apparently has lead from a very wide gate at Menangle before, his Trainer or driver has apparently said they then will not hand up. Quinn cannot afford any battles at the start so i agree may end up right out the back. After that buggered if i know, Mah Sish maybe 4 pegs, Carribbean Blaster should be in front half, and then moves could come from everywhere?
Agree an absolute smoky could win, Jaccka Clive racing really well flying home in Hunter Cup loves 3000m, spewin i missed $8 place for him on fixed odds pre barrier draw.
The old cover our arses "ITMQ can win with luck" = no egg on face if he does win.
But will still be the first to crack eggs should he lose.
Hop on the bandwagon now before its too late fellas. A 1.55 MR last quarter 27.5 from 2 lengths off them. Heard it here first.
