She never jumped.

Left the stalls when the others had run about 200m already.

surely that shoud be declared a non-runner. i know it wont but still.... talking very much from my pocket!

Selfishly , I'm glad it isn't -the PA was hardly worth catching before that race -might be worth a few bob eventually!

Amazing,shortest priced runner the stable had today.Heavily backed as well and has good form.
2nd string nearly wins the race after late money.
Assistant trainer gives the one in the last as best bet in a tricky finale.

YOUVE GOT TO LOVE FLAMINGO.

pukes. i asked the punters in the Tab where the hell is Khumalo in that race and 2 coloured guys said "he is riding crooked, he's a crook".
My biggest wins have been on Khumalo driven runners (last weekend my biggest treble of all time was all khumalo - 5 figures). But I had heard the remark before. Hope there's no truth to it.

When you very confident you land with egg on face and when you in doubt the stable cannot miss. Tough game but best game ever ....just lovit

silly question, i see you won the last, but which one did you mean?

I had to do both in case,to be fair they both ran well.
Would like he's update on Maya The Bee and the money on the runner up in that race.
Was there a review

I don't quite get why people think Maya was the stable elect, Kumalo doesn't always ride the stable elect. Obviously I am in the minority but I much preferred Cape Grey today. I even preferred Swizzle Stick! lol

Well done Junior, some very decent calls in those selections.

Come on,Maya has finished 1st,2nd,2nd,2nd on its last 4 outings.
Was drawn in box1 and was punted 3/1 into 18/10.
Cape Grey had a very unfavourable draw to boot.
I suppose we will never know as it got left,I missed the start to be honest and as it normally gets out ok,i thought it was scratched.

Getting back to the draw,maybe I'm taking that into account to much at this venue.
Ziets two in the last were drawn badly and ran well.
Maybe they've got rabbits burrowing up the inside,I can't remember one winning on that far rail today,but I missed a couple of races.

I don't know how true it is, but a few times today oncourse mentioned that the Human yard prefer the wide draws... Don't know why? Maybe to stay out the Kick back??? Well that's all I can think of...

If horse n jock can utilise the draw then I think it still has to be a plus Dave but the stats seem to show little bias at Bingo.
Maya has been running consistently in fairly weak looking maidens imo and there has been little to frank the form of those runs. Although this was only a 68 Dave, CG has been consistent at this level. Munger the regular jock for CG and Khumalo on MTB the last three. I think it would be rare for the stable to change the jocks under the circumstances. Honestly, I know it is after the fact and we'll never know given the start but I didn't like MTB at all today. I accept though others obviously did... not unusual with me! lol

Are you sure Ziets doesn't get to the track in the early hours and roughs up the inside a bit.
