I agree with your comments after looking at her sectionals.She ran her last 2400 in 2.47.65. Covered extra ground too.

On HRV facebook, some crazy $@&# criticized Luke's call for stating the drivers' colours.
It was a brilliant call and a clever idea to do the colours on the first time running through the field, for in a long race like the Queen, you can get a lot of repetition if only stating the horses positions
This idiot claimed that everybody knows the colours of the horses at this level
Surely he has to be joking - there is no way that 10% of the population know the horses colours, even in this Gp1

Yeah what a clown. Call was deadly accurate and had colour and excitement. The ability to be calling horses in different/opposite part of the field but pick up on the exact moment Braeview Kelly made its dash to the lead and the moment Ladies pulled 3 wide speaks volumes to Lukes skill.

Looking forward to tonight's meeting - it is a good card

As well as the big races, I cannot wait to see how Metro Assassin measures up in R7, it is only a $10k race but it will be Most interesting

Metro has come in today from $3.90 to $2.15
The Narcissist has gone out from $1.90 to $2.15

The bookies give you nothing!

I don't really like Stormryder in R1 at $1.55 off the 2nd line (He does not lead = he does not win ?)
I reckon anybody that backed any or a few others especially at the opening prices, could be on the money

Metro Assassin turned out to be a fizzer, Dan was impressed with the ground he made after galloping but with such pathetic early speed he may struggle to be the topliner I was anticipating (you cannot be spotting the leaders 50m just because you are slow beginner)
Matty Craven went hard on the leader - a tactic others may adopt. It would seem to suit a horse like Major Assassin who likes to fly home BUT you have to be in touch with them to be able to do that

Two Emma Stewart horses broke 1.51 and both were super impressive
Greg Sugars would seem to be blown away by Always Hot having his first start as a 3yo

An all trots program this Saturday but they can only manage 7 races and one is for $8k and another for $10k - helping pay for the two $30k's, I guess
