Trap for Fools a Late Scratching.
Horse spent the night at Darren Weir’s instead of McLeans.
Stewards weren’t advised of the change, so has been withdrawn

I am surprised a few have not commented on McLean having to scratch Trap For Fools because he was stabled at a premises, which he was not licensed to train at, he was just the foreman.

The horse is allowed to be trained there, just needed to get stewards approval - which they didn’t. Silly error, but hardly cheating

You can fill out a form to have your horse trained at a premises of an another trainer - stewards sign off and you’re good to go.

We’ve done it plenty of times when we take horses to Sydney and Adelaide.

Depending on what was happening there. That's why trainers have to inform stewards when horses are moved.

Best Of Days. Time for him to stand up and be counted.
Not the best of odds but I'm on anyway. JMac needs to have him close enough on the turn though, no more hard luck stories please.

Then Resin with a saver on Epidemic.

Godolphin to put some more icing on the cake.

This is something I can never work out.
Dead heat = half the ticket value. Not have the winnings.
Even money you get the winner but only your money back.

Better than losing though.

Interesting now. If protest and upheld and a winner declared do bookies who pay both in protests pay full for both or half ? There is a result if upheld.

BEst Of Days should have won because KMac's horse moved off the fence.

Not a chance. No chance at all. None.
Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers

Resin. Go you good thing. Party

After 3 quarters of a day's racing I'm wondering why I didn't just take the 3Rs in a multi.

I'm on Youngstar to win the Cup.
Also something EW on Duretto.

It looks affordable to take the two at the odds.

Okay I know this will sound misogynistic, but I am just asking.

There is a women who is heavily pregnant, who is walking around the saddling enclosure, is that advisable?

Can the ladies of the forum inform me if they consider that safe?

Being a man I need the experience of the fairer sex to inform me here

2nd of my big doubles into INVINCIBLE GEM (had a nice double with ZIZZIS into BEST SOLUTION)

Another into RIGHT OR WRONG at Randwick 

Biggest double into PEACEFUL STATE
Fingers crossed PS gets up as I've then got 4 live trebles into the Cup.

Best ever day on the fair but if I can snag one of these doubles into BEST SOLUTION will be a ripper.  Give then strength!!!!!

Pffft what a shocker.
Thank you Scamamda for Resin which eased the pain a little.
On my old mate Great Shot 1x3 at Ascot to try to get somewhere near even.
