Ballarat Cup

No it wasn't a better run, nor did I say so......just reckon it was far from 'a shocker'.
If I were able to bet at evens I would like plenty on TGA to finish in front of SU in Hunter Cup for a bunch of reasons......age, form, tractability, trainer/driver, but these are only my opinions and I have been wrong plenty in the past.

Good reasons given, although I believe Trigger is going just as well as TGA is going. Any of the top horses can win the Hunter Cup, and this would make for an interesting race for sure! What price you guys think Trigger will be?

[brent_L]

If he draws favourably $16-
Back row $26-
Betfair odds

[Smoken]

Great odds. He is always dangerous even @ 11 yrs of age! At least he should handle the bends a bit better, hopefully

So was TGA run better than Trigger, & who would be a better chance between those 2?

They both had a similar run.
Trigger spent fuel at the start
TGA spent fuel mid race
They finished 3m apart and TGA couldn't catch Trigger.
No point talking about who would be better chance until barrier draw and,
even tho most agree TGA raced below his best, including Luke McC, u can't discount Luke to pick him back up again for Hunter Cup.

The talking part is fun, well to me anyway So many variables, it's exciting!

Yep. Vic Cup opened about $7 so I offered someone on this forum $8 but come raceday more like $13. Not sure he will get out that much again but will drift imho.

Thanks men, I reckon you would be pretty close Rich as a cart with a little space to spare would have to be the equivalent of about 3 athletics lanes. Cheers

Found it!!
