@Hooroo Nice!
Boom! Kept fighting. Not a bad spot from the jock (albeit 3-wide, but not the worst thing on a track like that). Very happy for Hooroo & his true-love to get a 2nd at Flemington!

And I suspect $25,000 for 2nd should pay for the flight over and a few months of training fees.

Yep - fought on better than everything else!
We won't see odds like that for her again for a while!

Fucking great run Polly!
That was a quality field and she ran like a champ
Congrats @Hooroo
I was oddly nervous with 500m to go. It was almost as though I've got a share in the bonny mare.

She’s fucking tough. I was sure she was going to get headed and perhaps run 4th. When the third runner got close and eyeballed her she just found that bit more.
Fucking bollocks to my head though. So hung over and I have to go to a prize giving as president.

Had to do a wee interview on the race. Nice that she got some coverage.

We have a first starter at Race one Ellerslie. Sussex. Drawn 13 of 14 over 880m, which is a shame.
@JK I can't picture the 880m Start point. Is it like Riccarton where it is a bit of a loop into the straight so not so much of a hinderance getting a wide one?
Rickey Baker also running at Riccarton. The trainer down there is happy with him but I'm sceptical.
Cheers

Not too sure mate. I hardly follow NZ racing and only really go to Ellerslie when someone is offering free beers

Benefit 1 of being laid up with a bad back: profitable mid-week punting
3 winners at $20+ has turned my account around

Tempting mate but will be down at the beach until mid next week. Taking the lad out for a bit of serious landbased fishing on saturday morning! Cant wait!

@Hooroo I see Polly Grey in at Flemington on sat and out to 2000m. You got the oil for the boys??

Chris Waller is happy with her and thinks she goes 2000. Opened at $15/$5. If she can run 2000 comfortably, she wins and off to Caulfield Cup!
I jest re: Caulfield Cup but dreams are certainly free. Chris rates her chances in this race though

@Hooroo also, must be gutting to not be able to get over to watch her race!
$17 with the powerplay
