WTF HAPPENED THERE LOL

Will retype my thoughts

South Pacific too short for my liking in the first, going to go Flag Edition ew 

Liked the first up run of Rivet Delight at Caulfield. Flemington should suit him, is a 1600m Group 1 winner at Doncaster beating Yucatan, although that was four years ago. Has had a failed stint in HK where he didn’t acclimatise but has settled in well here according to reports.
Cyber gremlins? LOL Removed anyway & BOL Wink

South Pacific needs the fences. No speed at all.

Dog ride D Oliver, golden rule is never sit outside a leader (stablemate who eventually won)in staying races, very low percentage ride.

Normally be all a tiz at Flemington today being Aurie's Star Stakes meeting. Let's see how it goes today be a while yet you'd imagine Wink

One thing's for sure it's not as cold out as last year race being held in sunshine probably ... too dis-heartening to watch it if you can't be there - maybe next year Smile

Thought Kentucky Tornado was one to follow in a suitable race over 2400m after her run at Flemington today.

Great to see John Matheson win a city race, one of the good guys of Mallee racing.

Only about his 5th or 6th starter in the last 12 months, so a truly marvelous result.

Don't know much about him Shawy, however see he's been training for about 20 years and has a really enviable strike rate.  Star

And further research shows that today's winner Jittery Jack is the only horse that's raced for him over the last 2 1/2 years.

Truly marvelous stuff, and it could be a big night in Kerang tonight.  Big smile

Have seen him around the traps, mainly up Swan Hill/Mildura meets. His horses always paraded well and looked happy.
Good to see good people getting results
