Rough tips and other bets...

<p>Barnaby has drawn barrier 7 for The Cambridge Breeders Stakes at Te Rapa on Saturday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is the true litmus test for him as he is up against NZ's best 3 year olds. Xtravagant will be short favourite I imagine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will be a bit of fun if we win.</p> -
<p>Sprinting 3 Year Olds, I should add. Rangipo etc won't be there</p>
-
<p>Huge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jacob is being a little bullish about this too which is nice<br>
</p> -
Yeah. Agreed. All the pace on inside
-
<p>Barnaby's race is up on the fixed odds $26 Fixed Win and $5 Fixed place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will be gobsmacked if they remain that high (or increase) I have just put my bet on now and I think he is worth a bet. Expecially at $5 a place.</p> -
<p>Yeah, I have gone a bit bolder than I should.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm starting to get super excited about this which is ridiculous as Xtravagant is an exceptional horse, aong with a few others in a race and we have won a maiden and a rating 65
ha ha!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have had a look at the times the competition have run at 1200 and Barnaby heads them all I think and his times are on a slow track where some of their win times have been on a good track. ( I rushed it a bit but I think I am right in saying that)</p> -
<p>I think that is good as Barnaby looks better at the track when the footing is firmer.</p>
-
<p>I think he will run his quickest 1200 on a good track so the winning time will be quite tidy, I imagine</p>
-
<p>Spoke to a couple of trainers at Ellerslie and they said just get a filly near extravagant on the way to the barriers and he goes all stupid and colty. Same as his brother (He's Remarkable). In fact they used to put a barrier blanet with gelding poo and wees all over it to help mask any other smells. Didn't really work apparently</p>

Jeez some big odds in this race, Barnaby at 2nd fave on $12.20 to win and Xtravagant very short odds and paying more to place than win!
-
Yeah. I'm as nervous as a piece of cheese in a mouse factory. <br><br>
Hank Marvin running on Wednesday. Race will be for experience purposes only as its a bit short we think. Then he and Park Lane will be off to Hawkes Bay in two weeks. Galaxy Miss heading to Rotorua and then Trentham. -

I already got him at $26 for the win and $5 for the place -
Just awful. Proof that you should never do three sprints in a row. He looked awful in parade ring too. Has dropped off in weight. He will spell now to ready himself for spring prep.
