Thanks to Horsham for getting back to me straight away. They had no idea that their trials have not been uploaded for 3yrs and will be promptly looking into fixing this
Do we want to take him on again at Hamilton today in R1
or will the Stewart stable have improved him, they will want to have, even though this is a much weaker race
He is $1.40 again !
I will have an interest on Barely A Glimpse

They have taken a team to NSW for the big races. They never seem to go as well away from Vic. Lot of talk on twitter that the retaining barn could be effecting how well their horses run. I did notice CR seemed to be most effected. Could be something in that !
Don't die wondering !
I don't know this time Rick, I think the talk may be a bit scurrilous, CR did break 1.50

Also a 2hr delay could have put horses off
You noted the other runners went well. I'm not one to usually bat for the tonkin/stewart stable but the comments about the retention barn are unfair.
We need to remember the horses were floated up a couple of days before in the heat, which takes all day.....a loooong trip. Then put in unfamiliar surroundings (he is still a stallion) and raced at 11pm. We just need to consider that some horses cope with the upheaval better than others. They aren't machines, it's not like taking a drag car on a trailer to race interstate. Given the times he ran at Melton, I would say he performed below his best.
You don't see this too often - one runner in a race winning at $8. That is what they call a longshot

Gawn has a good horses record 8 starts - 3 wins + 5 seconds But I really think he will test the Stewart stables horsemanship
I don't think he is a genuine trier

9 Semis to Emma and Clayton.
She did have 34 runners - most stables do not have 34 horses much less 34 good enough to make a Vicbred Semi
She only had 1 runner in the 4yo C&G's Semis so that was at least 1 race she was not going to win
So 9/11
Not unexpected as I think she has won at least 6 semis for the last few years
