Interesting to hear Matty Craven say she surprised him at Hamilton
2 wins in under a week certainly rewards the owners patience

No doubt Peter Wharton or somebody has written this up before but I just realized how VERY closely related
Queen Elida and Ultimate Stride are - the two mares who have run the quinella 3 times in the last 7 weeks
Are they ¾ sisters?
Same sire (Love You)
Ultimate Stride's dam is a full sister to Queen Elida's 2nd dam

The real Girl From Ipanema died on Monday. This is the clip to watch (oldies only?)

Sad, makes you want to go to Myers and ride up and down in a lift all day. Farewell Astrid.
Turn the Page was a first-up winner at Pinjarra this afternoon. She hadn't even trialled in the West but started $1.02 favourite. Ridiculous! Despite being attacked mercilessly in front she was far too good.
Her two race starts in NZ were pretty good, but not $1.02 good! By the booming young stallion Vincent, her dam is a full-sister to the great Monkee King.
A bit of a sad story, the filly's dam had been retired from breeding and rehomed as a hack. When Turn The Page started to look the goods enquiries were made to get her mum back to be bred again this coming Spring. Unfortunately, the mare was lost in the North Island floods in the early Autumn.
Wow, thanks for the inside story Trev
Yes I see 'Hack' after her name

Alabar must have too many horses to give up on a youngish mare of her breeding who had 3 on the ground, by good sires, yet to race
Today's winner

3yo first starter Ubetta Knot, in R3 at Geelong tonight, is beautifully bred
She is a half sis to Konan
Remember Konan? He didn't race as a 2yo either and then as an early 3yo, won 5 races in a row, including a Tk Rec 1.52 at Bendigo in his third start
His 3yo season was the end of his glory days, he had one 4yo start for Stewart/Tonkin before being tried by a series of trainers.
His last start was as a 6yo in SA was over a year ago

He looked pretty green and gangly but 3yoG Celebrity Royal won his first start rating 1.53.1 at Bendigo tonight
Mum Our Celebrity was pretty handy, winning 12 from 29 along with 10 placings
It is all in the breeding as they are both descended from gem Larrakeyah Lady
Spare a thought for Good Day - you don't expect to rate 1.53.2 in a 3yo Maiden and get beat
