Has Josh put a foot wrong on Hector? Really Kev??

Thank god they didn't kick Chris Lewis of Carclew

Before this series he has. This series has just been a sit and steer job.
If Lenny was out of the series 6 months ago no doubt Alford would have been asked for the drive on Hector.

We're talking about Josh's drives on Hector, condemned for the 2nd at Yarra Glen? Even Kev thought the odds were against him. What did you think of Chris's drive on Lenny last week? From this draw maybe Chris is thinking "phew TGIF I'm not on Hector".


All the best to all the competitors, hope it's a great, clean race, whoever is the victor.

Johnathon Thurston, Gary Ablett, Andrew Johns, Wayne Carey, Chris Alford. Doesn't matter how good the other blokes are going you pick those 5 names first.

...you pick those 5 names first.

But the owners didn't(?). The Inter Dom is exempt from loyalty, having faith in and living the dream?

From a betting perspective what odds Hector J Aiken v C Alford? Punting v value? Often amazes me how the less accomplished drivers get bagged, often for no good reason but "we" complain about short prices.

Not sure if C Alford didn't quote Herve Fillon somewhere recently. Something along the lines of "as drivers we get over acknowledged for the wins on great horses and bagged for the drives on poor horses".
Still shaking my head at The Gauch getting dragged from El Segundo.

The owners put Gavin Lang on before Josh. If Chris wasn't tied up with Lenny he may have even got the look in before G Lang.

Yes, I often think we humans try to give ourselves too much credit for our involvement. Good drivers need good trainers who need good horses to begin with

At the other end of the scale, we sometimes need to remind ourselves that we aren't Jesus Christ and can't work miracles and stop throwing good money after bad

I take your point Wayne and I would never have kicked MP off Prince of Penzance so if Josh has the same sort of relationship with Hector it is a no brainer, otherwise I just feel Chris has the runs on the board and a personna that says "Don't even think about it"
