Which race ? Can not think of a traditional Oaks day race suitable for him. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

If he brings his A game he simply wins. Easily. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

| Wonder why Bowman isn't on him. Williams is having a very off spring at the moment. Couldn't lose a race a couple of spring carnivals ago so not sure what is happening there. |

I think Williams is the main rider for Qatar |

He simply sends him to the front, rates him on a fast tempo and stays there.  ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Do you know how many trainers they have down here ? The only one I know off the top of my head is Robert Smerdon. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Smerdon and Waller They previoulsy had some with O'Brien but it was involved with the 'cobalt saga' so they took the horses elsewhere |

Hard to measure him up off his last few runs 10th of 11
Will he bring his A game? Thought a small bet at the price was ok.. |

His only hope I'd have thought, although on second thoughts maybe Waller is training him the Aussie way. Can't think what his target is (maybe Perth?) but don't imagine they'll be busting his gut here.

Not sure what Waller gets to do with him whilst he is in quarantine except keep him ticking over. Can not imagine he'd have had too much influence on his style. That said, Will be interesting to see if they announce prior to the race if they are going to change his tactics. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Ah I see. Read something about Waller learning about the horse so thought he'd been here a while. Just googled and see Waller has nommed a big team for HK. From Racenet: Chris Waller's boundless ambition has turned to the Hong Kong International meeting in December after nominating as many as 20 gallopers from his stable. Mackintosh, McCreery, Preferment, Spiritjim, Vanbrugh, Winx, Cosmic Cube, Counterattack, Good Project, Torgersen, Antonio Giuseppe, Grand Marshal, Kinema, Sacred Master, Storm The Stars, Who Shot Thebarman, and Japonisme are among the initial entries, along with international acquisitions Closing Bell, Endless Drama, and Arod. |

Arod's last run is missing from Australian sites. Check against Racing Post site. He was a 2l 5th to Tepin at Woodbine. ------------- TBV - where it is the Silly Season all year round. |

The Racing Australia form Guide certainly is.

The BHA British Horseracing Authority uses time to measure the margins, and then the Racing Post uses the official margins. Here, the two lengths comes from adding up the four distances between 5th and 1st, a neck being 1/4 length. It's just that some of the gaps were maybe a bit long, and the two lengths looks closer to two and a half lengths to me. As usual here, this is a deviation from the main topic, which is whether Arod will win on Thursday.  He's certainly dropped in class, might boss it. ------------- TBV - where it is the Silly Season all year round. |

Checked trying for a run between horse, arguably runs 2nd less than a length? Why is he not odds on? |

| Did Williams pull out to early? Had the run of the race and elected to let the horse stride out 3 deep when waiting would've been a better option? Perhaps? |

59/60 kg? Unlikely. |

| First race I saw live today. Arod was in the perfect position but just started to get his head up a little so Williams eased him out. Losing move. Decision making affected by lack of confidence perhaps? |

Waller said Friday they'd been teaching him to relax off the back of his front running effort at Flem in the Spring but on his work/trials, may've overdone it. Put me off him immediately. ------------- Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it! |

| Just looking it up now his two trials he lost by 6.5 and 8L respectively. Not sure he wants to be a racehorse anymore. |

Could be right Judge, he is also a bull could even be squeezing, fknows .

Don't laugh, I actually thought that in the parade ring, he seemed to be walking a bit funny behind, like he was trying to widen in a bow legged way, and I instantly thought, hes getting squeezed!

Had a huge opinion of this horse but Waller just got nothing out of him.. just won the Foundatiom Stakes at Windsor.. not a huge race, but he has talent. I remember Williams declaring him before Cox plate.. certainly not to be, but a shame he’s not still racing here |
