Addictive Nature

Why do they take away his ability to be on speed? Horrible tactics.

Fair points, Tlaz.

Global Glamour is yet to win against open company, so I wouldn't necessarily say she's cooked. There are some nice F+M races for her - that seems to be her wheelhouse.

Collett was just a passenger. Did nothing, right up to the point when there was nothing he could do.

Apparently the intention today is to lead.

Looks like at least 3 leaders for the race.

D day. Don't understand the jockey choice.

Could have been worse - Ford's riding at the meeting. AH is okay (has ridden very well for GaiBott iirc) but thought if they're aiming higher they would want an 'senior' jock to give them an assessment. Hope he gives them a 10/10

He can not sprint fast enough over the shorter trips but when he gets out to his proper trip such as 2000m and is allowed to settle where ever he wants rather than pushed to lead he will display good acceleration. 

I do as well , it's a shame they took away the Canterbury Guinness 1900, it was a great stepping stone for the 3 yos who were inclined to show stamina tendencies, I think 2000 for this bloke is ideal, ( on the proviso he could mix it).

I think Yr Right...    We hype em a bit early at times.

You reckon they were some of the best olderhorses in the country?

Effort was okay, as it always is. Didn't think he could win but did expect him to finish a bit better with the light weight, esp with a run under his belt. Form around him is solid without being top notch. Just doesn't yet have that little extra required to get his nose in front.

yes

Addictive N.   Did burn petrol early and returned best Ratings so far but
well below what is required to be competitive in these better class races ..
I think we jumped the gun with him,   when he was impressive winner last time in.        > I'm prepared to sack him until he has a heart transplant.

Love to see this blokes old man get this horse, they are chalk and cheese imo when it comes to training , there is no reason why he won't get over more ground and become a nice winner.
