While hiking today it occurred to me that we have not heard from Paul Humphreys for a while and just now when I finally got around to checking last nights results what do I see

Congratulations Paul

Congratulations Paul Green on the Melton Monday win of your first start Geez Louise which you own and train. You do not see many first starters get up at $54.60 - I hope you had a little on her

Another good one in the Butterworth/Manning stable in Duke of Albany
3 starts for 3 wins since coming across from NZ.
Last start he ran home in 26.1 and today this 3yo ran 1.55.9 winning a C1 by 26m at Charlton
Congratulations to the connections of Goodtime Rusty who made it 3 wins in a row too winning the last (beating another Butterworth/Manning import having its first Aussie start which faded to 6th)

Thanks Kev . He is a super 2yo who has been looked after,and until yesterday I wasn't totally convinced that he was super special because he had never been asked for an effort. I thought on the turn he couldn't win it ,after the quick lead time and all,now I think he could be special.
Congratulations to you and your partners Greg. I remember your point about whether he was special when it was mentioned earlier on in his career on another thread. Now I wonder do you not think that he is something special doing what he does without being asked for more than he need give.
I think he could be special.[/QUOTE]
That seems a pretty reserved statement alongside the comments of his equally reserved trainer and driver when asked he replied....
"With what he has achieved this his first campaign, I think he deserves to be called a champion."!!
Congratulations to Robert Caruso from Angle Vale SA who bookended the card at Melton tonight winning 2 of the Battle of the Claimers heats with a 10yo and an 11yo
I don't know much about Robert except that my db shows that he had not won in Victoria in the previous 2yrs so this was a fair raid
I see that he had a good season in SA winning 22 with 29 placings from only 109 starters

I think the 4th at Horsham today may have been Brett Greene's first win as a trainer, congratulations Brett
