champions race day

....."All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"......

NOTE: I'm not calling any jock/trainer/owner or the like an animal here, I'm merely quoting a phrase from a well know George Orwell novel.

Thanks

The Greyville meeting was a postponed event,surely the rule shouldnt apply?
Judging from his mounts,seems only 1 winner(DD) on card for him,anything else will be upsets.

interesting comments posted 2night by part owner of 4th Estate regarding Magico.

That 5th race tomorrow is going to take some winning.......For me there is no way Magico is THE BEST, rather one of the better imo.

He is going to have to be exceptional to win this race, but not impossible.

I haven't looked forward to a race this much in a very long time!

14 Horses rated over 100 ,you might be right tommy

Should be a great day just waiting for an update from Tellytrack but have taken a few early bets on Right Beauty, What a Winer and Rudra....................and the REDS...................lol

good punting

plus alll the best to the lads in the competitions(tu)

biggest day in gauteng and i thought uso was very poor this morning as it was like a normal meeting...clear to me that rutherford has made zero difference in fact since he has joined they have gone backwards

Have to agree Pirates USO seemed rushed and for such a big day to have such a little input fom the big players i was dissapointed. Why does Ken Rutherford do himself and tellytrack and all the punters a favour and get on tellytrack and make some kind of policy statement about what he intends doing. The silence is deafning.I feel for the few good presenters like Shaheen and Molly who if there was an alternative choice would surely have moved on by now. But this is P after all what the hell can we expect.

It is 10:30 on the morning of the biggest race day of the season in Gauteng; as I write we are unsure if one of the top jocks are going to be riding, and we have 'to be advised' as the jock on the favorite in race one (which is off in about an hour) - pathetic.

Some alternative thoughts:

R1: My first choice Fun to Run is out (why run him on the sand a few days before and mess up the chance to run on a feature race day?) it is now very open; Bamako at 3/1 certainly no value imo, Pleasant Valley looks the right one to float while Carribian Coast and Amatol also have chances - some of the others who could feature have drawn wide - pay your money and take your chances
R2: Betting suggests it's all over for Amanee - Solarium probably the best of those that have raced
R3: Delago Deluxe hard to beat imo
R4: Captain's Gal and Mary Lou to fight it out - Apple Princess and Carey's Qui to run in the quartet
R5: What a race - obvious contenders are What a Winter and Shea Shea; Val de Ra seems to have more to do against these; watch out for a good run from Blue Tiger (Fortune's only ride?) who finished close to WaW (and in front of Magico) in the Cape Flying
R6: I think we may get a result here; both Alderry and Fisani vulnerable over this trip imo - Quick Single looks value
R7: Obviously Igugu, but nobody knows FOR SURE that she will get the trip - ridiculous odds imo - Justthewayyouare and stable companion Princess of Light to pick up the pieces if Igugu fails
R8: Another race where none of the top 4 in the betting actually went the trip before; Ice Flag and and Seal appeal to me at generous odds
R9: If Dancewiththedevil stays, she will win, but Rudra has come down in the ratings, is a course and distance specialist and the going should still be forgiving enough for him - watch out for Galileo's Galaxy over this trip
R10: Ilsanpietro the obvious choice - but Chico Azul can give him something to think about on the Arcola form and is good value at 20/1 imo

Enjoy!

You pretty much summed it up Frodo...(tu)


Fun to Run is a scratching in the 1st, was my first selection:X .... Catch the quartet in the first and you set up for the day;)

Is anybody else getting ropey footage on DSTV???

first up and amatol .....

Yes, thought it was my decoder but obviously not....:X
