Yeah wish I'd got the 100-1. Only looked at him last week. He's got form all over the two favourites.

if anything Ryan favoured JJ over Le Seppo....but that was before the latter's slashing MV Cup run

I think the rule is leave the o/s nags alone unless they have a run here first. Then if they run and show a smidgin of form, smash the carp out of them.

by Bradman Mon 24 Oct 2011, 02:10

well here's hoping it's an exception. Actually the two recent wins by the faves should buffet JJ's odds if people don't look too closely at what he's done to them in the past.

Is JJ even qualified yet?

The Cav's weekend race was a bit lame, no? Only 3 (or was it 4) other starters? What next - her vs a draught horse?

I think you'll find Phar Lap had the same sort of situation.

THIS says it is #1 in the order of entries

The St Ledger would do it, wouldn't it? There's about two million international races that qualify you.

Well, I wasn't trying to knock the Cav, but when I heard she'd notched up win no. 15, I expected a little bit more of a contest.

So what's deal, other owners just say "fark orf, I'm not entering vs the Cav"?? Which I guess is understandable.

by G.Wood Mon 24 Oct 2011, 04:55

It may get to the stage that Moody has to enter a stablemate to make sure there are 2 starters in order to run the race

If she runs at the Winterbottom they'll get a decent field ...second place prize money in a Group One will be tempting to the wozzie sprinters

by G.Wood Mon 24 Oct 2011, 05:10

I reckon there will still be a few owners who will be happy to say they came second to her. If she eases up they may even get in the photo

by horace Mon 24 Oct 2011, 05:11

the Cav is proving a good influence on some mares - they learned from her how to win - K Queen and the Pinky had copped floggings from the Cav and had big Saturdays

by JGK Mon 24 Oct 2011, 05:24

She needs to get herself o/s for a challenge now.

by skully Mon 24 Oct 2011, 05:25

She's ranked no. 2 in the world in her bracket, no?

by G.Wood Mon 24 Oct 2011, 05:27

She's ranked #2 across all brackets

by skully Mon 24 Oct 2011, 05:42

Ah, cheers, Woody. Heard sumpent about no. 2 on the wireless on the weekend. Which nag is no. 1?

by G.Wood Mon 24 Oct 2011, 05:48

Frankel

So Kind of a Danehill?

And do they have a PWC type rating system to determine the positions?
