@mariner4life Yeah - Catalyst loomed up at the turn, but probably worked too hard to get there.

I don't think the trip in transit was the issue at all. He landed a lovely spot and only got up 3-4 wide 400m out. He was pulling too much in the running & it almost looked like he was on the wrong leg in the straight. I was a little concerned how toey he seemed to be behind the barriers before the race, so maybe he just had a bad hair day.

He was in the right spot, just didn't kick on when it was time.

@mariner4life I had a tidy winner early in the day, but rest was rubbish.

I've got a hunch that my whole betting career - past and future - is going to be redeemed in about 24 minutes!

Was disappointing that’s for sure. A couple of trainers I talked to a while back said when they took horses over they seem to go better first up and flat second.
How good were the Te akau two tho. Just awesome

Just asked the lads at the tab and they’ve added a promo for any 2 of them to win at $6. Not bad considering effective odds based on current prices would be $2.50 to $4.50 depending on the potential outcomes.

The Shark was cooked, but that finish...
Randwick was fair as fuck today, I hate that

I thought the Shark was cooked, too. Great finish. Terrific horse.

I have to jump into this Saudi card. In addition to the $20M main event there’s seven other million dollar races. Race 1 went to a 44-1 shot; Race 2 went to a 28-1; and Race 3 had a Superfecta payout of $117K. Race 4 comin’ up... this is Powerball fever...

Thirty minutes away from the richest horse race that has ever been run...
The $1.5M sprint championship just finished, and it was one of the most amazing finishes I’ve seen in a while. They haven’t shown the replay, sadly. I think punters were ripping their tickets with a half-furlong to go, the Japanese champ was ten lengths clear. Irad Ortiz Jr just pulled another golden horseshoe out of his ass, a 10-1 shot I made sure to include in my double.
Update: That Sprint race really needs to be seen to be believed.

MAXIMUM SECURITY is a beast. Takes out the Cup. Spellbinding finish. $10-million 1st prize for a horse that started it’s career as a $16,000 claimer. Incredible.

It's like I'm watching Chataqua!

How good was the racing on Saturday?
The Derby was won by a true stayer, Alligator Blood was incredible, Te Akau Shark can not win from back there, does Opie think he's on Winx? Probabeel stunning too.
Huge day on the punt for a change as I have been a bit hopeless.
Mickey tipped us London Banker too so that put a big bow around the New Zealand racing for the day.

Mate it was awesome!
AB is a beast of a horse that just keeps arising to the challenge
Im still fizzing at that te akau double. I was away for the weekend with a few lads who arent in to their racing but I explained to them about the 3 group 1 races on and how our kiwi horses were gonna represent.
Told them both exactly how probabeel and shark would win by screaming home and flying over the top of them. We cheered them home hard!
Was a shame Catalyst didnt really feature at all in the Guineas though, blinkers may have been a different story and surely must go on for the all star mile.
