Which gives Tact Hayleys Delight a run and on the back of likely early leader Frith. Been a long time since Tact Hayleys Delight settled in the front half of the field. Last Gp1 winner I believe was Arden Rooney in Hunter Cup. Could be the best chance since. If not the $15 the place is still overs.
Have you had a bet yet Breno?
"The reserves to be placed in the barrier positions of the withdrawn horses in order of withdrawal".
Oh, crap.
Edit: Cash out feature on bet365 is handy.
Teecee, Have Faith in Me's form has not been too shabby since he had those hock injections -2 -2nds and a win. Obviously not racing at his magnificent best though
Be interesting to see how he goes in the future after the stewards disclosed that he had hock and knee problems. My interest is also in the injections and whether they are worth it or not.
I will be interested to see what the Stewards make of R3 at Hamilton today
It seemed like Matthew Craven driving Three Wise Machs torched the odds on fav Tell The Future
with his cousin Jason Lee coming over the top of them to win on Rocking Tess
It is interesting to note that the same 3 horses competed in a race at Horsham 12 days ago.
Apart from a different winner, pretty much the same thing happened with TTFuture leading and 3WM in the Death.
At Horsham they ran a 28.6 Q3 and despite having the sit on TTF's back Rocking Tess could not get past her and they finished 3rd and 4th
The driver of 3WMachs who finished 7th (Chris Svanosio on this occasion) was questioned about the performance of the horse and stated:
"Three Wise Machs was forced to race outside the leader without cover which the mare was not suited to and then Three Wise Machs raced keenly during the middle stages"
Today Matt Craven goes to the death again but this time eyeballs Tells The Future all the way and cranks up Q3 to 28.1 and sets it up for a swooper - Rocking Tess had the 1x2 but after that Q3 the field opened up a bit and she was able to get on the Odds on Faves back before the home str and prove too strong along the Sprint Lane this time
We have a QDT for Three Wise Machs - will that be it?

Three Wise Machs raced outside the leader throughout and raced wheel to wheel with the leader, Tell The Future from the 1000m before finishing in 4th place beaten 13m. Driver Matthew Craven and trainer representative Rebecca East (Three Wise Machs) were questioned regarding the tactics adopted on this mare. Mr Craven explained that he unsuccessfully contested the lead during the early stages and was then obliged to race outside the leader. He added that he raced wheel to wheel with Tell The Future from the 1000m because Three Wise Machs was travelling comfortably compared to Tell The Future which was being placed under some pressure by is driver. Mr Craven added that in his experience when driving Three Wise Machs, the mare is one paced and not able to sprint quickly. He future stated that the mare had a tendency to race inconsistently and considered todays performance an improvement from its most recent form. Ms East confirmed the comments of Mr Craven.

3 different stewards so I guess they would say they did not know that this testimony is totally at odds with what the stewards were told the week before! (see emboldened quote in the above post)

"Integrity Commissioner Ross Barnett vigorously defended the sentence on Friday and said he expected QRIC staff to be treated with a high level of respect”.
Even the one's stood down because of 'misconduct'?
3 months for taking the piss? Bit harsh.
