She doesn't have to be too special to win this. Worth a flutter.

Results look pretty straight today

Lets see if Mooney can bring home the money.

I also think Mooney will win - just a little worried about the rider

He sure let you guys down.Nearly stole it only to finish out the placings.Overall I think the work riders rode well today.

The horse was pulling a bit at the beginning of the race so the jockey did the right thing and let Mooney go to the front.After that he kept on increasing his lead to about 8 or 10 lengths coming into the Vaal straight.I think he was clear till about 20 m from the line where three horses passed him and was beaten just over a length.He nearly stole it but my feeling was that he was going too fast and just had nothing to come in the last 100m or so.Maybe the early pulling cost it.If he had won it would have been a brilliant ride but unfortunately he didn't manage to hold on for a place.

does a horse ''pulls'' in training or is it something seen only in a race.What is a trainer's course of action prior to a race ie in training
