Re: Thoroughbred Horce Racing
Looking forward to this week's meeting at Flemington, should be some good races on the card.

Silent Witness got in a power of trouble last week and still stormed home to win. There was an article in the South China Morning Post when I was up there about plans for him to take on Fastnet Rock or Yell or possibly Takeover Target.Gypsy__Jazz said:Silent witness is overrated. I'd like to say him come down to Melbourne and race with real horses. Not the crap that goes round in Hong Kong. I do admit his win in Japan was a nice effort though.
Elegant Fashion can get close in Hong Kong! They're cats.

Elegant Fashion is not a bad horse, he finished fourth in the Mackinnon after Mosse's shocking ride gave him no chance at all in the Cox Plate.
Ready said:Elegant Fashion should have finished a lot closer in the Cox Plate. Mosse couldn't judge the pace in transit at all so the horse was spent, and then got stuck on the rails for good measure. David Hayes is no mug and Elegant Fashion didn't come here for a holiday.

Dyer'ere said:Hey jb, when Charnwood Green loomed up to Fonome at the 50, (both exceptionally gifted non-winners) they were a half in front of Tuareg. I kept looking further back in the field for the winner. ;D
BTW Bear. If a nonnie finds the line. Keep your eye out. It'll win again. If you get a good price (in my book this means 10s +) and you think he's suited, back him. BTW might prefer some ease in the ground. Charnwood Green- a notorious cockroach about to win again.
frahlee said:How about the current 2yo crop guys? Seen anything special? Blue Diamond has been thrown into a bit of disaray with the no race being declared last Weds. McEvoy's filly won very well, but faces nonqualification with all of the mess. I tend to think the Sydney babies have the wood on the Melb. 2yo's. Can't quite think of the name, but Hawke's has a very impressive baby (name is odd sounding, starts with M if that helps). Won so well end of last year in Syd. and has been put away since. I think it's second fav. in slipper markets. Any others anyone has noticed???
