Id like to see this colt ridden quietly ....... all hes ever been asked to do is jump and push forward over race at times don't think it suits ....... he should be running a strong 1600m today wasn't the case ~ Derby a no go zone for me !!

Good luck today Tillyras.

The super heavy track should hold no fears but fitness might do.

Good luck.

I've watched his trial at Burrumbeet, was on bottomless ground by the look of it.

Ran well.
I think he would be well suited to the Cantala or Emirates whatever's it's called now. 2000m at Flemington cup week

Would've thought the horse's placement has been spot on throughout its career, but wiser heads will no doubt explain the errors in my thinking.

2nd run this time in and still at 1200m, Not just that he is going backwards.

Off course they will talk the owners into gelding him but he should be tried at proper training yard not a factory.

Speaking to one of his owners (TBV member) they will not be gelding him anytime soon.
They were hoping to run him on Sunday but he didn’t get in.

The dart thrower is failing this horse big time.

8 starts, yet to be tried beyond a mile.

Accepted for a BM 70 over 1200m at Sandown on Weds.

Hopefully the starting point for a campaign where we can see him race at 2000m and beyond.

He seems to have come through last weeks setback okay.
Trials have been good, but he’ll probably need the run.

Well documented soundness issues = beach training Smile I think he's a Darren Dance synd. horse in which case, Williams is one of their trainers.
Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

That’s correct, he has had a lot of issues and has been trained out of Warrnambool for a while now. We wanted someone small(ish) who could give him the extra attention and with beach access. He has settled in well and will be back at the races shortly.
