I believe this horse to be potentially top class.

His trainer believes he is as well.

I am not overly excited about the program they have mapped out for him at this stage.

My belief is he is going to the Challenge Stakes and a fortnight later he is going to the Galaxy.

I am stating this before the event.

I believe this is the wrong campaign.

I would rather see him on a All Aged Stakes - Doomben 10000 and Stradbroke campaign. I think 1400m is his trip.

It was a nice win yesterday but it was not a group class short course win it was a more dour win than that.

Doomben 10,000 is over 1200m now, basically it's the old BTC Cup with the middle leg of the sprint trilogy being the 1300m G1 Kingsford Smith at Eagle Farm, guessing this is the race you would suggest?

What a cock up that is.

Give Brisbane racing the big swerve and forget all about that second rate state.

Here we go.

I am convinced Cummings has mapped out the wrong campaign.

How much of Baller does Anthony Cummings own ?

He could join the likes of Might And Power, Defier and Beauty Generation if the majority share holders give the horse to somebody else.

He is not a sprinter despite the speed he shows.

This guy had a stable change to CJW & has gone pretty well at his first 2 runs in Qld.

3rd up today over 1400m looks like a nice assignment for him.

Well in truth honest enough but clearly limited.

And it's hardly the horse's fault he was sent around as favorite at his last two starts.  Wink

A class 6 in Brisbane suggests he's got a bit to go to be HCs second best after SYT.

Another change of stable, now with Tony Gollan.

1st up in the Goldmarket with G.Boss taking the ride.  Might have a small each way bet on him today.

I didn’t back him again today.  After my collect last month, I didn’t think lightning would strike twice.

But wins again today in a Group 2 at 12/1, amazing how well the Tony Gollan has got him going.

Ultra nice quinella too, as the 2nd horse seemed to be on the improve. $145 Stab.

Trainer suggesting the best thing for Baller is to keep him fresh. No thought of paying the late entry for Stradbroke. Could come back to Eagle Farm for the Healy Stakes on Tiara raceday

Apparently missing the Stradbroke & having his next start in the G3 WJ Healey Stakes over 1200m at the Tatts meeting.

Some great sprinters have won the WJ Healey including Hay List, Clay Hero, Super Elegant, Cangronde & the mighty Tiny’s Finito.

Wasn’t on him today but always been a fan, with a few nice collects.

Quite remarkable how well Tony Gollan has managed to get him racing so well the past few seasons after he had such patchy form with Anthony Cummings & Waller.

13 starts with Tony Gollan for 4 wins & 5 placings.

That close 3rd in the VRC Champions Sprint on Saturday took his earnings tick over the $1m mark.

Career best form as a 7yo Clap
