    With Ladies In Red's run of draws you could be excused for thinking she was ODM

    Queen of the Pacific will be a belter too. Hoping Ladies in Red can stamp her authority.
    Shows why it was a solid no bet race and both Act Now and Wave miss the quinella.

    Best 2 drives won the race. Sugars even chuckles on Trots Vision when he says nobody wanted to sit out the lead.

    Yes I do not think the race told us much. That was only Major Moth's 2nd up so it is OK that he was probably the least impressive. Hard to make ground on 26 secs

    Treachery $7.50 in a Kilmore Cup. Best run behind RNR Doo in Mary Cup. Took ground off Ladiesinred last week. $19 here... staight into the running line behind a fast beginner.

    As Luke said - she is a champion
    Even if we make 'champion' the exclusive label it should be - she is a champion
    At this point the others are VERY VERY good mares but she may be the only Champion

    Congratulations Anne

    How is Ladies In Red’s record against the males/how would she go etc? I note that she was only 1 second outside the track record set by Tiger Tara, in his brutal Hunter Cup win. He broke the field with a 27.2 third quarter, off a hot pace from the front, she came from behind. Her sectionals will make interesting reading. They’ve done an excellent job to get her back after the injury (not sure what it was).

    The good mares don’t race much against the males these days unfortunately, which is understandable given the mares prize money on offer but you can’t help but wonder.

    Lets hope we get the chance to see.
    The last couple months we've seen more of those mares against the boys than usual and they have performed admirably. Ladies in Red just demolished them so I think she stacks up quite well. She could well stamp herself as top 3 or top 5 in the country with the right opportunities.

    I wouldn't even rule out her being numero uno
    At present she only has the one open age win 1/1 winning the Gp1 Rising Sun last year - she beat Better Eclipse (who won the main race for the big boys last night) and Leap To Fame
