    The 2025 Hunter Cup

    Catch A Wave has been scratched from Saturday's Melton Classic so you would think that there is no way he could compete in the Hunter first up

    Swayzee has now been entered for the race!

    Wow , really. CAW out can only mean a few things.
    But JG does some interesting things. How far is the race?

    What can beat LTF in the Hunter Cup.
    Bad luck, interference , a few other thing I guess.
    He is a great horse.

    Tact McLeod would have to draw 1 so that he got the easiest possible lead, LTF would have to draw the 2nd line and have to work a bit to get the lead (not because of Tact - he must not expend any energy until the sprint lane), something would have to pressure LTF in the lead and Then and only then would Tact have a small chance of ambushing him on the line

    There was a story 'Catch A Wave's Hunter Cup dream still alive after Casey scratching' on the HRA news rotation and Andy said that they would decide today but I see he has been withdrawn

    The barrier draw for the Hunter Cup and field reveals for heats of the Great Southern Star will take place on Sky Racing from 9am Tuesday.

    I am going 1 & 2 in the Hunter Cup. LTF's draw is not great. Either 3 pegs or has to go right around them to the death if he gets no luck early & I feel these horses he is up against are pretty good.

    I read somewhere that the prize money for the HC has halved. True?

    Yes Trish the Hunter is only worth $250k total prizemoney this year - remember Vic are totally broke

    2760m give LTF time to get into the race but it is the worst possible draw and Swayzee will be trying to get there before him

    There are probably 5 chances in the race now

    There have been some moves but they are still keeping LTF very safe
