Did even better this race whiterhino well done! Captured very nice tri in five including the grey NOSTOC to give you another 20/1 + winner for the day!!

Apparently they had a fair bit of wind assistance as well at Ascot Saturday.

1:08:52 is still a great time regardless. A trip east (perhaps spring next) would be on my longer range plan for Miss Andretti!

A trip east !? Now there's a good idea!

Both were top rides!!

On the subject of new records, Rescuer ran a new race record of 1:27:73 to win the R.J. Peters which was a tidy effort. The old race record was held by Sister Patricia of 1:28:08 set back in 1999. Sister Patricia after setting that record went on to run 2nd in the Railway. The track record stands at 1:27:40 set by Gilt Patten way back in 1973.

From a Perth Cup perspective there were a few good runs on Saturday.

Our Grey Halo of course. Interesting to note that from only 2 starts over the 2400 (the furthest he's gone) he's won both.

Dundally who ran 2nd to Our Grey Halo Saturday. Just the 1 start over 2400, the Group III Queens Cup back in July 04 which he won, coming from well back in the field.

Universal Warrior who showed a return to form Saturday. Ran 6th in the 2005 Cup and although well beaten that day was running on strongly at the business end.

And Free At Last who was beaten just 0.5lens in the 2005 Cup and ran 4th the previous year.

Word is that Kevin Forrester will keep the ride aboard the Trevor Andrews trained Rescuer in the Railway despite being found guilty of careless riding on Saturday. Kevin has lodged a request with stewards to defer the commencement of his suspension to allow him to ride Rescuer on Saturday. If approved Kevin will have to forgo the ride on Miss Andretti in the Colonel Reeves. What a predicament!
