Now that the other stuff (football) is over for a while the focus is on to the horses for me. In a first for me I have two in the same race at Flemington Saturday, both My Pendant and Fabric in the Blazer Stakes (Group 2) over 1400m. My Pendant drew nicely in 5 and Fabric poorly in 11. C Williams had the choice and in my opinion chose wisely and picked My Pendant. Both have form around Fidelia which is $3.20 favourite, yet My Pendant was $19 and Fabric $26. My Pendant had similar sectionals to Fidelia last start except one went up the inside (Fidelia) and My Pendant went around them in what seemed inferior ground. From the good draw reckon she will sit midfield rather than at rear and if gets the breaks may take some holding out. At $19 certainly worth a dollar each way.
Don't want to pot Mystic Journey but reckon Mr Quickie will be strong at the end. Just not convinced (yet) that MJ is a 2000m horse. Happy to be proven wrong (again) on Saturday.
How good is it being a tiger! Will certainly have the tiger tie out on Saturday.

History tells me to be very cautious of post-premiership
Form guide dyslexia.
Plus theres a genius maverick chemist on the loose in Melbourne this spring
so i will punt the Group races conservatively on Saturday. 3 bets
Sunlight in the straight 6
MJ in the Turnbull, and
Te Aku Shark in The Epsom.

Fabric not quite right so trainer has done the right thing and scratched her and sent her to the paddock for a brief spell. Is quietly confident My Pendant will measure up and is in excellent condition. Will need the breaks go her way but same could be said for any horse in the race.
Good punting all

Good luck T44, i hope she gets up for you, it will make her a good breeding proposition.
One of them B Rawiller .. A heavyweight Tiger as well as jockey.
Santa Ana v Sunlight.... Wondering if the Belt gets passed this season from former to latter?
Waller will be up to something in the Sharks race.

All aboard the Mystic Journey train today!!
Unsuited at weights but confident too good. If wins can’t see her being beaten in 3 weeks time!!

No doubt jake but i reckon from an outside gate and with weight reliefJmac will be able to sit back and swing around em Chatauqua style
Im on leysy. Think the extra 400m down the big straight, she could lift off with 100m to go
wasn't the best ride darmanin's done.
(never seen the point of swinging out 6 wide on the turn, then looking for a split .... either ride for luck or go around em all)
but her best was late.
Ill be taking the 8's on odder in The Plate.
ride her close and I reckon she wins.
Yes mate, poor ride today, though if they pushed forward it was likely given a gut buster.
Never a chance at the turn given the way they sprinted home.
Importantly hit the line hard. The Plate is still on.

If she was ours, i think wed be on the phone to Olly.
He wouldnt have sat there getting bullied by mr quickie
And he wouldve made room on the turn.
A month ago i thought shed win the CP irregardless.
Now i think she needs luck, which i think shell get.
#note: im testing a theory that when a trainer utters the phrase 'win, lose or draw' about a heavily favoured chance, it never wins or draws.
Early data only but 0 from 7.
My Pendant did as expected and finished alongside Fidelia - only problem - there were 6 other horses ahead of them at the finish! Reckon she may be just off this class of horse, perhaps to Listed level but not Group 2. No shame in that plenty of good races and prizemoney available at the lower level. She is off for a spell and back in December/January (same as Fabric).
Queen Leonora to go around at Bendigo Wednesday will be a good chance without seeing field etc, not for mine though. Will appreciate the 2400m.
Not sure what to make of MJ - they certainly ensured she would run the 2000m but then had no chance of winning. Reckon the high pressure of a Cox Plate might be questionable but I guess you are going to get $7+ to find out.

just watched the replay several times.
It looks too me like John Allen rode Mr.Quickie with one purpose in mind.
Hinder Mystic Journey.
Darminan tries to push up, so does Allen. Darminan pulls back, so does Allen. the entire race. while they are ambling out the front. He gives her a couple of hip and shoulders into the rail for good measure.
I have no doubt if it was Bowman on Winx, Allen would have ridden a mile with a busted nose
Then when MJ finally gets out at the 200m, she runs the fastest of all of them.
Im going to stick with her in The Plate, and we could get double figures.
Considering the days racing pattern i was surprised that MJ's trainer was wanting her to be midfield or slightly worse after settling.
Should be a cracking Cox Plate, i'm on Homesman at $26 and Verry Elleggant at $51. After the way she won yesterday i think Waller might start Verry Elleggant in the Caulfield Cup

She's a good mare T44, but you might be right about what level she is. Yesterday was the same as the the start before, when popped the question she seems to hit a flat spot, and then works home quite well.
