Vaal Sand Thursday

Race 6 - Looks to be between La Tasca and Chief Sioux though betting suggests an open contest. Hoping the 2 are enough.

Race 7 - Play Date my first choice back to what looks a suitable d. Next would be Ice Goddess and Ladies Club.

BOOM! 3 multiples closed! Gavin you BEAUT!

55/1???? I got 20s tops!!!!
And I don't want to piss you off Greg but I don't agree on the no hoper, seemed to come back to form at Bingo lto after a short break with a big turnaround in form on its previous run, some of his Vaal sand runs much earlier were not too shabby, had the draw today and if holding form I gave CK a definite chance in that field
Generally though, I find this stable almost impossible

Well done engels so i guess the 12 length winning margin didnt surprise you.... Lol

Thanks bud, nope can't say I expected that, even thought the second would win but nothing really surprises me on the Vaal sand at the moment mate and as you say, there are certain stables... I think you know I don't disagree with your general sentiment there

Going looked disgusting today.

Well done Engels , not sure the proud Vaal trainers will like the fact that you used a Kimberley improved run to pick a no hoper that ended up winning 13 L

lol I didn't Bob, I saw it as a possible sign of a return to form, as I said ... then I looked at CK's Vaal sand form and saw that back in March it had beaten my first selection Ice Goddess over c/d, though IG was badly drawn that day which is why I favoured it today. At around 20s on that basis I saw CK as potentially good value.

13l as I also said was a surprise but not much more of a surprise than the one you liked walking the last 150, Eastside winning so convincingly etc etc as

I am not saying anything here other than I don't think CK was a no hoper today

I guess there's no such thing as a no hoper, unless you the English rugby team.... :evil:

Out-hearted v Wales, outplayed v Australia. Tactically poor in my very base knowledge of the game. No complaints that we are gone.

Greg I have no issue with your general comment and think there is probably plenty that should be "investigated" which is seemingly not and have said so plenty times. Just personally I gave this particular horse a chance today, sorry! lol
