Now a stallion, Mage is already having a powerful impact on the lives of Ramiro Restrepo, the bloodstock agent who fell in love with him and bought him, and the father-son combo of Gustavo Delgado and Gustavo Delgado Jr. who trained him.View the full article

Certainly being immature doesn't help the RV vets fail to find any possible injury concerns, but being a 5yo is no guarantee (Muramasa is sound as a bell and passed his trotup before the vets very quickly because it was so obvious he was fine, yet because "there may be a shadow that could possibly develop into a stress fracture in the future" in his CT scans he's now under an embargo and barred from racing). Maybe that's a reason for Via Sistina to skip the race; it's not worth taking the risk that the panel of RV vets find a concern with a patently fully sound horse and end its season/career. You're also probably correct that, if the Victoria Derby field were subject to the same scrutiny, they would all be found to have maturity-related risks and there wouldn't be any runners left to hold the race.

that one was '95 Doriemus 

Now thats confidence ......🤣

Maximus Vignette was a ch f bred in 1969 by Shy Boy out of High Venture by Balloch. Her third dam Fondle was the grandam of Light Fingers who won 15 races from 33 starts including the 1964 VRC Oaks, 1965 AJC Oaks and the 1965 Melbourne Cup. Fondle was also a half sister to Cuddle who won 23 races from 66 starts including the 1935 NZ Cup, the 1935 and 1936 Auckland Cups and the 1936 Doncaster Handicap. Vignette herself won 1 race - 7th start at Otaki over 1m on the 8/12/73 ridden by Noel Harris and trained then by Jack and John Winder at Cambridge.

Raining again at Ascot Park and a heavy 10, not too many going around today so that must be a bit fortunate but at least owners can get some coin. That is dependant on them actually going around.

They're in my black book.

Com'on idol-mate , fight the eyelids and keep yourself up. you might be in sleepy backwaters but We're sending Keayang Zahara over to live'n you up a bit on Showday. might get the place rock'in a bit  😉😁

I love the confidence. I haven't sorted out all of my picks yet but I plan to come flying out of the gates with a double figure odds winner that I've found in the first comp race.  If I can nab the quinella and somehow fluke the trifecta it could be all over after the first  

havent tried yet ...

What do the green stars mean? Some filled in, others an outline only. 

I think Larry might do it PS . I heard somewhere they were offering $7 I think for the 3 races . I think this year with the cup and the undercard , they will be the strongest fields they have had for many years . I am hoping Ohoka Connor is in the free for all , because would love to see him up against the other top horses to prove how good he is , just hoping he isn't a run short missing those standing start races .  Regardless we are in for some good racing 

Did that work for you Max? Of course if you use VPN to watch channel 9, you then can't access your NZTAB account at the same time so have to bet with your ozzie accounts unless you switch back and forward. Makes little sense to me, but Entain evidently think it increases their business here.

It was actually Heavy.  The Chirnside is now called the  Schillaci Stakes Grp 2.  Bellatrix Star won it this year.  Grey Way had had 16 starts by this time in his career.

A year ago, a then-record nine runners from Japan participated in the Breeders' Cup. But rather than incremental change, Japanese connections have kicked in the proverbial door this year at Del Mar with 19 contenders making the trip. View the full article

Still One my favourites as well as the first of a few have been lucky enough to of attended, and is just something about International Competition that makes it more exhilirating, a bit like A World Cup in other sports or something.  I think the Interdominion Champion list is chock full of the greatest runners of Aus and NZ competition , and along with the amazing NZ Cup winners list and the Miracle Mile winners list in Aus,  you have ALL the Harness Racing Star horses of All Time , and quite an impressive horseperson list too.    The thing with LEAP TO FAME is he might be the first Horse to WIN All 3 of those Top Tier Races when he steps out Addington soon. A real piece of history in the making. The QLDer Leap To Fame currently being the Interdominion and Miracle Mile title's holder at the moment. can he get the Grand Slam Trifecta? 🏆🏆🏆 go get em' Larry 😁 Gammalite and Young Quinn shown on this thread in video winning Interdom Grand Finals , but both missed in the NZ Cup with 2 attempts each.   The superstar Nz champ Lazarus just missing the Big 3,  with 2 NZ Cups 🏆🏆 and an Interdom win, missed out getting a Miracle Mile with a 3rd and 7th in that Classic race.
