Chut in anything it runs in.

It's in on Saturday (1400), but I'll wait to see it run. If it shows that it's come back well, back it in anything over 1600 ;)

i was on in Fastnets win, and if you watch replays you will see what i am talking about. I know Fastnet won pretty easy, but Nickolic had cramps in his arms holding this guy back on the rails, couldnt get a run. When it came it was all over red rover so he didnt push it.
I know ALinghi is the stable star, but I am confident that Chut is the one that is going to fly the flag in the big group one's for the Freeds.

Re: Thoroughbred Horce Racing

Was very unlucky a couple of times last year, dare we say 'certainty beaten'. IMO needs a mile plus to show his best.

and its pretty easy to see where his going with this guy, Aussie guineas, Aussie Cup, and then off to Sydney to pillage there riches.
Very unlucky horse that if not for bad luck would right now be the talk of the turf, just like another superstar of the past in Might and Power as an early 3yo. But when the luck turned, it was collection time.
Quite confident that come saturday he will toy with his rivals, and then bring on the big guns.

Re: Thoroughbred Horce Racing

CHUT is a mystery to me, I lost stacks on it last spring. It always seems to find a new way to lose, and is quickly becoming a very frustrating horse to follow.

Hopefully there are still a few more stars waiting to show their stuff from the Slade/Freedman connection.  ;)

Re: Thoroughbred Horce Racing

Look for the other unlucky horse in Davidoff on Saturday in the 3rd. Mixed it with the best as a 3yo. WIth 2kgs off for a G1 winning apprentice, at 50kg against the usual suspects in these races is an each-way spesh.

Re: Thoroughbred Horce Racing

I have warm and fuzzy memories of backing Mannerism that day. Stopped fishing to wander in to the Apollo Bay Pub-Tab, and never got back to fishing ;D

Re: Thoroughbred Horce Racing

Lonhro would be the only top class horse that didn't handle the valley that I can think of.

And for those spruiking Chut, refer the posts about Lord Volksraad. Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

Lord Volkswagon is a certified feline.

The jury is still out on Chut, IMO. Watch and wait.

Re: Thoroughbred Horce Racing

Chut i think is a cat it cant pick up its legs.
Neither can that Bulbasaw, jees i have wasted money on that.
But there is this jockey Reese Mcloud, now on emirates stakes day this horse was a wet tracker, who had good form,
paying $12 i had 5 eachway, the jockey to him nearly to the other side of the track, on the turn and the horse still finished 4th, jees i gave him a spray, :mad: he was like :help and i was like >:D then he was like :police: and i was like :rofl
