$6m for winning! That is amazing.

Trainer gets $600k
Jockey $300k
Strapper $60k

Brilliant!!!

And it's worth $50K - great concept for the battlers.

Ricky baker today??

[Hooroo]

@jk yes mate. Toodaloo will be scratched.

Ricky Baker is looking good but this is the next step up and teh quality of the field naturally improves. In saying that, I can't fault his condition. Paying $6 too which I thought was tidy

Cheers @Hooroo had a couple hundy on Ricky Baker. Great run up the inside!

[taniwharugby]

@jk I got fiddy on Ricky Baker and another 25 on the random $1 quinella too with Siagnon

[Hooroo]

Chuffed with his win. Missed the kick and still beat them relatively easily. Whip unused.

Yeah saw that and heard them say it. Commentator said he may need a bucket of ice so guessing a bit uncomfortable

But what exactly are the irons??

Congrats re Ricky Baker, got some quinella here, living the skux life.

Here's a good summary of the chances of the horses in the Everest.

Dufficy is a good judge, I don't know much about these horses, go with Chataqua and Vega Magic.

I'm having a crack at Salsamor in the Caulfield Guineas.

Ta @smudge that's what I assumed. Poor bugger!

[JK]

Good read that but couldn't work out why neither had SWR in their top 4 until got through the write up and noted it was from a punters perspective with $4.60 being too short. I'm on at $9.50 and $9 futures so happy about that in terms of value. Still need to win of course but I reckon SWR will be very hard to beat regardless of track conditions. Great draw, maps well.

This is really going to be some race and I expect it to be run at a real clip too. Can't wait

Not a bad option at all mate. May have a small play there too thanks.
I also like the look of another NZ horse in Summer Passage. Backed last start at odds and it ran pretty well. Hasn't run over this distance before but actually feel its pretty well suited.

Edit- summer passage scratched

[Hooroo]

It was quite funny as he lost them on the thurn and the horse had a full head of steam and was rattling along so Mickey travelled the whole straight pretty much bouncing on his nuts

[Hooroo]

Was super impressed with Jasmine's ride. Never panicked even though she missed the kick.

She came in after and said she had 'a full horse' across the line in that he had a lot left in him if needed. That was really pleasing considering the work to get to the front.

Great ride and win, didn't touch the whip once and plenty in reserve as you say.

Don't think you'll be getting $5 next start, might get some offers from HK?
