MJ form said it wouldn’t win and proved correct.

Winner too good.

Lys Gracieux.............WOW!!!!!!! She had to be good to win where she was with 3 furlongs to go.

Would love to have seen her run last year against Winx.

She went past Castelvecchio who was carrying 49.5 kg's like he was standing still.

Couldn't fault the ride on MJ.

Yep. Jumped, got a spot. Just couldnt sprint. I wont be surprised if darmanin says she was getting into the ground a bit?

If she was mine, id have her with one of the big cheating trainers.

But nothing was gonna beat the winner. Like tman said, looked like shed have eyeballed winx

How do you reckon gws will go in the gf this year jazzy?

Yeah Japan brained us.

Sorry ezt my post was poor timing, in no way did I mean to rub in the loss. I have too many times followed horses with the heart instead of the head. It does read very poorly - apologies to the MJ supporters.

It was poor. I don’t like punters losing, the only thing worse than a bookie is a doubles bookie then a corporate bookie. I would prefer the company of a used car salesman or business broker to a corporate bookie.

I like bookies when you meet them after the race.

Im proving an inverse relationship between richmond premierships and my spring carnivals.

'15, '16 and '18 my books show profitable springs. But '17 and '19 in the red.

A good punter listens to the data so it s likely I wont punt the nags next spring.

Did anyone hear dean bailey call the manikato on friday night?

200m out he goes 'all bivouac has in front is rump steaks'

Was he pouring petrol on a burning issue, or is he an idiot?

yeah that what I read but couldn't quite believe. The same story I read says the clock stops before the winning post so as not to interfere with the camera.

Sounds very odd from the nation that brought us some pretty good cameras and clocks?
I will keep that in mind when WR pops up on thescreen during the Tokyo Olympics.

Willie Pike rode the winner of the Bendigo Cup today. He's not a bad steerer, 8 wide on the turn, somehow he manoeuvres himself through traffic to find a gap near the fence.

hes an incredible rider.

I reckon Brooklyn Hustle is about to run in a straight line, show the natural ability that she used to brain yesyesyes on debut,

and win the G1 sprint down the straight on Sat at 20's

I also reckon the tiny tassie gelding The Inevitable can win The *smile* Eagle.

Theres a 200-1 multi :banana

Jeez I wish they had taken Winx to the Japan Cup or similar.

It seems to have fallen out of favour as a target for our horses. Not sure what the story is.

Japanese racing is extremely insular. Foreigners race there strictly by invitation only. Pretty sure you're not even allowed to own a racehorse there unless you're a Japanese national.
