Hi Paddy

Not really into Perth races but Mr Sandgroper and Chenille Prince sounds like a good quinella to me.

Paddy, I agree that Covertly looks VERY good, especially for the place (odds permitting) but can I ask your "expert" opinion about Field Commander in the last? as although it does not come up as a top rating, my gut feeling is that is was at the very least "inconvenienced" at the start (last start) to tell you the truth I couldn't believe it didn't run a place , but there you go??????

Yep, should go close Unlucky Phil :wink:

Mr Sandgoper looks very good
Fatal Attraction might be still on the improve.
Laetare as honest as they come.
Black Tom will appreciate the distance.

Glad you mentioned expert in quotes partypooper, for a minute there I thought you were talking to someone else :lol:

The last looks pretty open to me partypooper.
Smallish field & what looks to be pace assured will suit Field Commander.

Personally have a liking for Beau Pago.
Rogue's March might also lob up at outside odds.

Providing the pace is on in the last, Field Commander will be suited and should probably win, as long as he isnt inconvenienced again. I'm liking the chances of Our Millster in the first.. other than Covertly could be my bet of the day

Thanks Paddy and Legend,

Yes, that gives me confidence, but remember that I am a "Fruit Loop" hahahah!

This is how I'll be betting it...

Capped off a great long weekend!

Glenn Smith just joined the list of suspended jocks. Serving 2 weeks for failing to fulfil riding engagement/s due to being excessively overweight. Easter chocs!? :eek:

A jocks life can be tough enough as it is without that kind of suspension!

Good to hear from you Perth Placegetter.
How's the punting over there in the sunny west? Nice win by Mr Sandgroper in the Derby.

Can’t complain Paddy, the punting has been good, just chipping away.

Yes, good win by Mr Sandgroper, also nice run by Fatal Attraction.

As you probably observed Harvey followed King just about everywhere.

King elected to go wide (to make his run) before the turn while Harvey stuck to the fence (and got a dream run).

In the end I thought an appropriate result.

Notice you’ve had a bit of success of late. Good for you :wink:

Shaun McGruddy returns from suspension from midnight tonight. I think one of the most underrated jocks in WA.

Daniel Staeck successfully appealed against a six-week suspension. Now that doesn't happen too often.

Trainer S.J. Wolfe (that very sad SAVAGE CABBAGE affair) has been disqualified for a period of twelve months.

Coming up, 8th May, grand opening date of the Belmont Park Racecourse Winter Racing Season.

Actually Paddy, trainer Steve Wolfe had a two-year disqualification cut to 12 months yesterday when stewards completed rehearing an inquiry into the barrier trial fall of Savage Cabbage.

Wolfe had received the two-year disqualification in December 2002.

Reports are that Wolfe is not happy with result and will likely take the case to the Supreme Court and apply to retain a stay of proceedings to continue training in the meantime.

I note that Steve Wolfe has just had an interim stay of proceedings granted by the Racing Penalties Appeal Tribunal, which allows him to keep on training.

Wolfe had been previously training on a stay of proceedings for nearly 12 months.
