That's my take on it too Greg....
Wowee!
That's my take on it too Greg....
Loved Beautide's run tonight too. Looked like he may have locked wheels coming into the straight while Brave Wiggy was skipping away. Very impressive.
Very Impressive win again only 2nd horse to break 150 you would think he gets an invite to the MM.
For a Reason even more impressive this week and had a bit in the tank again. He is more than capable of going even faster on that run. It's great to see a colonial bred stallion run times like this and when he finishes his racing career this time, breeders should give him a lot of consideration. He's got a lot on his resume already being a Derby winner at 3, has come back from a career ending injury and is running phenomenal times as a FFA pacer. The beauty about FAR is that we are seeing him strutting his stuff here in the flesh and being a son of the mighty Art Major from a Fake left mare he certainly has a lot of appeal, Speed, Guts and pedigree and it would be great to keep the money in the local industry instead of sending it to North America.
Maybe I was a little wrong it was a pretty impressive run yet again off the back of a 55 first half. And he did only join it at the 400. I'm sure he will be very hard to beat if within striking distance And gets cler running in the M.M
Marty, Good on you for admitting that you might have been wrong. If I was a punting man, I'd be at the TAB as soon as the fixed odds come out and be having a wager on FAR. At this stage he's definitely the number 1 chance amongst the Aussie brigade.
Marty, maybe you should change 'a little" with "TOTALLY".
Won't run in the first 3 in his next start - WRONG!!
Won't get invited to the Miracle Mile - Yet to be proven but "WRONG"
Didn't need his little bro to help him out this time.
Like I said previously, only a handful of horses in the southern hemisphere can physically run 1:50.
Any horse that has recently run it should be straight in.
He didn't just fall in either. Won by 20ms. My calcs say he going 14.7ms a second. Won by 20m so none of the other runners got close to breaking 1.50. Can't do it when race run like that, they can't do it. Reckon there's a heap around can run a 55 (or less) half. 2 consecutive 55 (or less) halves, wouldn't be many. Wouldn't matter where they were sitting in run or when they joined in.Originally Posted by Boydy
Probably never know. That 2nd quarter at Menangle nearly always run in around 30 secs. No real chance breaking 1.50 if that the case.
I'm with you. If it's the race for the fastest horses, he's straight in.
PS- T-RIFFIC call Fred!!
German, please expand on "he did only join it at the 400."
I just don't understand your thinking on that concept...
I understand how you got that impression his run before but after doing what he did this time I really don't get what u r meaning if it's relevant to this sub 1:50
