Good win again. l've won off him a few times this prep but once l saw that drift today it scared me. Usually the Sydney ring is spot on with drifts on a Saturday. But they got this one wrong. Heading to the Villiers next. |

Good to see you in the money Sunline. Sky Boy and Cradle Mountain winning race to race would have given you a real leg up yesterday.  ------------- I started with nothing and still have most of it left |

Cheers mate - neither was hard to find but both were very backable prices. Was a good day yesterday with a couple of late bets scoring - a place bet on Turnberry at $3.2 and Organza win. I see you had some luck too. I'll be treading warily for the rest of the year now. Graveyard. ------------- Sunline...simply supreme |

And he keeps winning again with the G2 Villiers Hcp. Love seeing those Dato’s chessboard colours back winning a big race. And the fact that both sire & dam were trained by the great JB Cummings. Maybe even the grand dam was with Bart too. Will be interesting to see how he measures up in the autumn, and on breeding what his best distance will ultimately be. |

What a little champ this horse is. Great training feat. ------------- Sunline...simply supreme |

| If memory serves both his sire and dam were trained in Dato/Cummings colors, and "the tradition continues" as the saying goes. |

Couldne a horse to keep an eye on in the future.has now won five races in a row including the Group 2 Villiers Stakes (1600m) on Saturday at Royal Randwick. The sire is Pendragon and the dam is Zazabelle who dead-heated for 3rd (with Lahar) in the 1999 Melbourne Cup. ------------- Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers |

Correct, both were. Zazabelle ran 3rd in the Cup. Still remember it. She was no star but had stamina. ------------- Sunline...simply supreme |

Jamal, could you please check we don't already have an existing thread, prior to starting a new one? Thankfully I was alerted before too many were added as I'd been away from the PC for a few hours  ------------- Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it! |

| Great training effort. Rare to see a horse win 5 city races straight in one prep in Sydney. |

With any luck one or two of his creditors might get some relief.

Zazabelle only won once...in a 1250m metro maiden fillies race. She also ran 4th in the Moonee Valley Cup at her last start before the Melbourne Cup. On paper you would never think she would run top 3 in a Melbourne Cup...but ahe did....as you said she had stamina. ------------- Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers |

Apparently this really promising galloper is injured & out of the Sydney autumn  A snippet of news from a few weeks ago that I missed out on. The news report I just read suggests he’s potentially out for the 2019 Spring too. A real shame, I had high hopes for him this year. |

This from the stewards on feb 6 Trainer Anthony Cummings has advised Racing NSW Stewards that SKY BOY has sustained an injury to its off-fore leg and will not race during 2019 Sydney Autumn Carnival ------------- Karl and Susan Kennedy are my heroes |

Thanks Xavier. I suppose he’s only a 4yo now, so hopefully comes back fit & well as an older horse. |

Once highly promising young horse is entered for a few races at Randwick on Saturday. Hasn’t races since winning 5 consecutive races, culminating in the 2018 Villiers Hcp. Will be a big task to get him back to being competitive again after such a lengthy injury enforced lay off.

He went the way of others who've consistently ignored mods warnings & returned under different IDs, only to reoffend. The last straw was 'outing' a member who worked for a large media outlet, nearly costing that person his job  Check out the pinned SUSPENDEES thread on the Village Administration - Support and Feedback Forum

How can you "out" someone?? Its impossible i mean only mods/admins can out someone.
Who was the media person ? Only person from the media on here that I know of is Andrew Hawkins and he still has an account on here but he rarely comes on here these days. Whoever the media person was (if not Andrew) how were they close to losing their job? I ask cos this sounds rather nasty and extreme? ------------- Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers |

Gee Jamal, you really are naive, aren't you? Obviously Gay isn't going to reveal who the media person who near lost the job is, is she? Otherwise it may cost them their job. Also, what makes you think mods can "out" someone? Most posters leave traces of their actual identity and with the help of social media people can figure out a persons true identity, most people can't be bothered or do it just for a laugh to see if the person is as loony when using their real identity as with a hidden ID on here. Not everyone is as obvious as you Jamal.

| PS, some people actually want anonymity when posting here, perhaps for work reasons such as media or stable staff or whatever, perhaps some big name jockeys or trainers post here and prefer to avoid the attention that would bring and some probably just enjoy being a shadow that can disappear at a moments notice and nobody can track them down. |
