Reply With Quote10 across the front in a mile at Menangle seems grossly unfair to me
Being the 10 horse has to be the equivalent of a 20m handicap
I imagine most connections would prefer to start from SR1 and SR2 if they drew 9 or 10
It is the Hondo Grattan Stakes tonight

10 across the front is , IMO puts an impossible task on some horses , even very good ones . Yep 9 & 10 on the back or even 6 & 4 would make it heaps better.
We have the Paleface on Saturday night
Early markets have equal faves at $4.20 (1&10)

I know I rave about him in my infrequent posts, but just effing WOW!!!!!! That was a brutal demolition at Newcastle and 1.49.0 on that track is something even I thought was out of reach for Leap To Fame....what a horse.
Agreed Dan, 1.7 secs off the Tk Rec is outstanding

Brilliant horse.
I hope he gets to just run in the MM but the draw will be important.
Emma Stewart has half the field in the Chariots. As BoB has drawn the best of them he should be fav but odds on seems short - I suppose they figure the stable will control the race
Swayzee now in one of the Chicken Sprints and set for the MM
PP is right to ask - How can Forty Love only be Em.2 for the Derby heats. There must be some explanation - there is absolutely no way he can't be ranked higher than most of these (including his stablemate) He does have the 5th highest NR of the 32 acceptors!

This is just wrong IMO , and if I was the owner I would be filthy.
Maybe someone from HRNSW might give us an explanation .
But I will not hold my breath.
What field is the strongest for the MM sprints? Race 5 or race 6. ......I reckon race 5.
