All Star Mile Vic Autumn

It is based on an Invitation race that has been run in Japan since the 1950's

4 horses are invited, so presumably if horses like The Autumn Sun, Happy Clapper etc dont get in through the vote, they get invited. It wont be like The Kosciuszko

So did I. He answered t queries I had today. He is very good.

Yeah I mean the concept needs fixing if the most exciting 3 year old and one of the most popular older horses can't muster the votes to get in. I'm not against owners trying to rally the votes, but hopefully the general racing fan gets involved in voting and we get a competitive field.

I'm amazed why anyone is voting at this stage if they want a good chance (albeit slim) of becoming an "owner ambassador" and be in the running for 500k in prizemoney... I'm waiting until the last hour or so, and picking whoever is 9th or 10th in order of votes... at least then you've got a better chance of being drawn out of those voters.

Shut the kiss up LOL

The 4 wildcards have to be from the ones out of the top 10 though I think. they can’t just add ransoms.

No they don't. They can be any horse. And I'm sure RVL are trying to encourage an international to come here. But the wildcards will go to horses like Te Akau Shark, who may not get the votes here to get one of the 10 voting spots etc...

Chris Waller didn't nominate Winx, as she would have stifled the voting, and she will get a wildcard in anycase if they have a change of mind in relation to running in this race.

Start the race early- I can't stand the excitement. Tongue

An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.

When The Autumn Sun is withdrawn those votes should be recast

Who the hell is Urban Ruler?

Oh, I see. Clap

I read somewhere that most of those in the top 10 are 200/1, 300/1 shots. What a concept. LOL

Probably guarantees The Autumn Sun won't run, everything he does this autumn will be about enhancing his stud value for 2019.

Unless he beats Winx or wins an Arc nothing he does this autumn will enhance his value.

If he were to win the Randwick and Rosehill Guineas (or even the Ranvet) and then the Doncaster I'm sure that'd do something for him.
