Intriguing race Saturday night... spoke to Kerryn Manning this morning re Blue Sky Commander and I'd think it could improve significantly now that she's got to know the horse better (when it ran at Adelaide it had only been in her stable a couple of days).

My Arya is scratched but Brent Lilley said today she's A-OK just a bit tired from recent travels and racing. She'll be set for a shot at the boys in the Derby.

Eljaykay Phoenix not drawn well here but obviously if near his best goes very, very close.

Gus An Maori and interesting one ... obviously very well related, won a trial really well and then came out and won first-up in nice fashion. Looks to have loads of upside.

Tips/Thoughts?

PS: Of course Illawong Armstrong a huge chance too, as well as Amarula... looks very competitive.

We may have seen the best 2yo filly in Victoria last night in Keayang Yankee with a awesome display that left no doubt as to how much better class she was than the rest of the field. After giving them 80 mts she still had the audacity to break 30 for the last and untouched going to the line ! Being the first foal from a mare that is a half-sister to the dam of Spider and a couple of the Illawong clan, maybe the female line is set to continue on for a few more decades with at least 2 more mares that keep producing top quality off spring. Her next foal ( also a filly) is a Majestic Son so more than likely will be even more precocious.

The next of the 2yo Trotters is the Vicbred Heats at Ballarat next week and we will get to see what some of us have been waiting for !
With what looks like a field of only 8 we will see Charlie, Kyvalley and the 2 that are out of the draw Sundons and Cruisin that will make it a very competitive race, throw in Skyflyer and Calder Knight it maybe a small field but the big guns are there ( with the exception of War Dan as he is not eligible to Vicbred)
In the fillies while Princess Phoenix will start the fav I would think it is wide open and barriers and manners will make for much of this 12 horse field so look forward to the final field and drawso both races should be great races to see and have a bob here or there.

Yes wasnt that Keayang filly impressive, what a debut, looking for to her future races.
I think the Ballarat race is a 4 way race for the boys as you said, hopefully they all trot and we get to see a great competition, im liking Sundons Courage, his last effort after breaking was big to b so close at the end. having said that Charlie is getting betteras is Kyvalley Tinman who proved very tough last start.
The fillies is all about Phoenix, but Social Fireball was held up bad last start against the boys with plenty to offer, im looking forward to see her odds-but dont tell anyone!!
War Dan is racing at Menangle on Tues in the Breeders Challenge against the whole NSW 2yo contingent so should be good viewing.

I am a big fan of Sundons Courage Ash also, however he has a terrible natural action, almost like a dog walker, and I think that maybe as the pressure comes on in the better fields this may test him, and you add the unfortunate place has got himself in being ODM leaves me split between Charlie and Kyvalley,unlike the fillies I think this will be a tactical race and while Charlie is my pick, if Kyvalley gets to the lead then I think it will be all over based on his strong USA family.
The fillies I totally agree and because you would need to take under the odds on them behaving themselves my preference would be to have a bob for the drum on something at odds. Had the likes of Chris Alford or Haydon Grey been on A Nip Will Do ( no disrespect to the trainer as he is a excellent horseman) then this little filly would have been a roughy as she is safe and honest so I will be watching ollolololool

Going to be a good race , I like Illawong Armstrong from Amarula and at double figure odds Fabrication with his best draw for a while each way....., lay of the night I think is the favorite.- Blue Sky Commander....big step up in class and pressure ....mind you that could be because I drive a gogomobile and bookies drive Rolls Royce's
best bet of the night for me is On Thunder Road, since this guy woke up and said to himself I want to race with REAL horses and became a squaregaiter he is flying, don't really like the bandage he carries near side on the hock however just love the way he can be driven around the corners and this in itself puts him to great advantage over many he races against here, should help mums already impressive record as a broodie
for the final race surely Miracle must return to his earlier days and win.

Very cheeky Bruce but this is the Trotters Only In Here thread. The fact that he is a Bettors creates interest for pacing mortals (well this one at least)
Where was the Quote from, in the first half of your post?
Edit: I now see it was from Cody further up

Ash... The run of Illawong Armstrong on Saturday was to say the least phenomenal. Another 400ms and he nearly wins. Galloped, lost 100ms (at least?) caught field and still making ground at the end.

It certainly was Paul quite amazing really.
Cant wait to see him trot against these, may win by 50m?
Whats your thoughts on LJK? Seems to have lost it a bit???

A Nip Will Do $19.10 the place Bruce, hope you had a fiver on it!
Princess Phoenix now has no female opposition actually apart from the Keayang filly, that'll b a clash!
Charlie Runkle solid win again in the boys, run of the race was Cruisin Around he lost heaps of ground and only went down by 2.6m-massive run.
Next highlight Thu night at Geelong with 3 and 4yo Vicbred heats that sees some good racing but should be some Hot Favs dominate namely Endsino vs Reina Danzante in the 3yo fillies and Illawong Helios from barrier 2 looking for win 9 in a row.
The boys are way more even although if Illawong Armstrong can trot he could win by 50m...
