For years mates and I would travel to Interdom carnival.......great times.....not the current Interdom FFA. With great respect for what Beau has done to qualify with an outstanding run last Saturday, with his lack of racing would young JR back him up for 3 heat qualifiers in a week. I don't think so.
So Beautide leads Lenny and For A Reason rails through to finish 3rd (or 2nd). Do they need to run it ? : )
3 of the quicker horses off the arm drew 12, 13 and 14, so it's not a quick front line by any stretch and the 1 can be tricky and Lenny is no Bettor Bet Black off the arm.
If they haven't done a u-turn after hearing the draw, I think David Hercules is a live chance to cross ... and then probably handing up to Beautide.
On paper it's the above scenario or there's the a risk this race turns into Day 5 of a Test Match after both teams have scored 600+ in the first innings.
There's no way Lenny parks Beautide if he holds up. Alford won't be able to throw the anchor out quick enough.
Beautide won't have s better opportunity to win this. TTL shocking draw, Nova same, Lenny the Ace. Doesn't seem to be the strongest of Inters, & the draw has put a big dent in any, if any chances.
Go Lenny & Herc & Nova & good luck to everyone!
Lenny gets a nice initiation to the Grand Circuit. Draws 1 Vic Cup, draws 1 in a depleted Inter!
Last race Otaki yesterday won by Beau Agen. Think we see the same result here. Trifecta payout 5-1-11 would be pretty short one would think. 5-11-1 nearly as short and Lenny fans would even go 1-5-11 for a small dividend.
