What Ctiteria gets you a run in 600K EMERALD CUP in Sept.

Tough for the punters trying to find a winner where there is no sand form to go on.

sylvester with 600K on offer I think Peter Miller will have a full go. Mary might not need the money, but the KIMBERLEY KING trainer would love to win our TOP SAND RACE IN THE COUNTRY.

Halie's Sword is my early pick - he's just getting better and better on the sand

Thanks for posting the noms, Cuckoo; the draw will off course be a factor, but I think Braggadacio will be the one to beat

yes go boy because 2009 might just belong to a hairy son of Kitalpha - i've divorced myself from Kabool i think he might just be crap (hope yours and another one owned by a friend prove that i was right initially)-

Elvis- red mist cant miss

Getting into the field is only the start of the problems. You then have to declare before you know what your draw is. This is the first race I have seen where the draw takes place after final declarations.

CUCKOO ENTER THE CUZZY,IM SURE YOU CAN MAKE THE FRAME.YOU HORSE LOVES THE SAND.

Morning zoro, is 7 and a half furlongs not a bit far?

7 1/4

The way Alimony won makes him a definite contender if he gets in the race; he beat Close as Oak by 7 lenghts, which is abt the same margin that Braggadacio beat Close as Oak, but Close as Oak was very slow away that day and should arguably have finished closer to Braggadacio - so on collateral form Alimony should hold Braggadacio?
