Yep..sounded like he ran out of puff at the business end..funny horse this one whos had feet probs,,but when he's right he's got ability,,,good run today and will follow him next start..

Happy with the result today..about 30% ,,..tamworth killed the figures as did Waraknabeal..
alot of merrit in Kenchars method of Quitting after the first win....would of been about 300% instead of 30% :)
havent the patience or discipline for that yet..but i'm learning..

Building the kitty
 

Thnx Mav... nice to have a good day like that..... building up the kitty.... only about another 55 winning days and I'll have a "Mav sized kitty" (LOL!!)

A few thoughts for tomorrow
Doomben
*Wallan rd, *Racetrack, *Gina Shay, *Moonbi Nymph
Canterbury
*Penhurst, *Rogue's Gallery
Werribee
*Straight Legs, *Stratagee gee
Victoria park
*Blushing Nemo, *Maui Boy

Nothing i'm overly excited about tomorrow....fairly confident about Brissie and should get nice odds about a couple of them..
Been on Maui Boy awhile now so he owes me..gets his last chance here in a race he should win..Rogues Gallery won for me last start with the big weight..he looked good and should hold that form..

Good Luck all :)
will be on early tomorrow to see if anyones got any specials..

Mav, I didn't know Beadman was sick last night. I knew Boss rode Thunderbird (not til after the race), but didn't know why. I had that exacta by the way, but backed Belmonte to win and place. I saw his connections messing with some equipment before the race. I don't know what they were fixing(saddle?) If Belmonte doesn't go so wide on the turn for home, he might have won it. As it were, I got a lucky nose down to get the exacta. Who rode Individual and Monterrico?

Merlot Now
 

Mav

I see they have a race named after Merlot Now - Race 3 Merlot Now Maiden over 1250m, which is Merlot's fav distance.....
