Yeah tough day Mops. I started well and got a few winners early buy as the day went longer the worse it got. Seconds and thirds everywhere. Horses getting run down in the shadows of the post (Deny Knowledge at $17!!). Backed Antrim Coast last start and he just won at $41. Backed him yesterday at $3 and he was nutted by a $41 shot! The irony of punting.What a frustrating day this has been.
Autumn Angel, Traffic Warden and Ceolwulf all close seconds. I Wish I Win 3rd.
Got bonus bets everywhere. Lots of bets into Orchestral coming up again next week.
Come on Miraval !

That said Celestial Legend looks a star. No weight but great win all the same. Another Wil had every chance but was ultimately disappointing. The step up in class too great. What has happened to Think About It? A shadow of the horse he was 6-12 months ago.
Moody will be happy as he trained the winner but if I was the other half owner of I Wish I Win, Waikato Stud, I would be spewing at him. That is the second major race that has eluded him because of Moody's ridiculous unconventional preparation. The Everest and now the TJ. In both he has loomed up to win but not quite finished off. That's because he is not fully fit!! Ridiculous training from Moody. When that horse is fully fit he is close to unbeatable 1200-1500m. But he's not fully fit because Moody never runs him.
They'd agree with it if he was winning races. The fact is he isn't. Hasn't won in over 12 months now; only 3 starts in that period. Insane from Moody.Waikato must agree with the approach though?
Vo Rogue was the last time I saw a horse get that far in front and win, wow !!!Oh wow Pride of Jenni that was incredible !
Cant recall seeing anything like it.
What a great run by Circles of Fire, he was entitled to get a stich, a huge win.
Yes, in the run I didn't think it could win with the work he had it doing, lucky it was up against B graders,I backed it and was swearing all the way around.
Looked like the worst ride of all time.
Just too good.
Not sure Vo ever got 40 lengths in front.Vo Rogue was the last time I saw a horse get that far in front and win, wow !!!
What a good trainer Ciaron Maher is, I bet the other trainers that she's had wish they used the same tactics.Amazing how the change in race tactics have turned POJ’s form around.
Looking back at her earlier form she always led but must have been at a controlled speed.
Now they just let her go and she takes a power of catching.
Impressive piece of training, seriously impressive horse.
