This horse could've more than doubled his career winnings with a more competent trainer.


I had issues with our trainer as well. The sire was a genuine group 3200m horse and yet we continued to run our horse over 1000/1100m. Clearly bred to get distance, yet we continued to flip between being a sprinter over 1000 or when failing, needing longer (1200m) then when failing again, needing the shorter distance because he couldn't run it out. Finished up in Alice Springs.

I'm not saying he would've been any good, but we'll never know! Even running him over 2000 or 2400m would've been a start! Maybe that's why I'm not a trainer.

You've gotta try at least.

Our one was running in the race before the Melbourne Cup a couple of years ago, the trainer got stage fright the night before and scratched him to bring him back to Adelaide for some poxy race where the jockey needed an extra 12 kilos under the saddle, the saddle fell off mid-race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It made the news!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt like crying watching it.

LOL sorry shouldn't laugh, but fancy withdrawing from a race due to a crap barrier then taking 13 in a lesser race. :lol: real facepalm moment.

Good luck with the race though! Caaaarn lefty

It was my turn for our punters club, need to win over $150 to go again.

I had 6 bets, all boxed 5 quinella's, $25 a pop.

1st in 3rd in the first five bets, saluted in the last @ Eagle Farm where the quinella paid $93. Upon checking more closely I had the first 4 with my 5 selections, it only paid $12K so no point sooking, I'm not sure where the 9 finished but that was my 5th selection.

Happy to see the boy back over the 1400m, he's looking a picture.

My only reservations are Chung's record on him and I'm hoping the track doesn't go too heavy by race 9.

Yep me too, driving home from footy and hadn't had a bet all day, looked to see what was running in the last at Morphettville and saw Lefty over 1400m , they dont usually swoop like that on the inside track, always like to be on the leader

Pulled the parachute out!

It had to be a roughie that ran him down, as much as I don't rate the rider I don't think he could've done much more, he was wary of what horses he needed to stick with and took off a tad early but could be excused, the 9th race track got the bettor of him.

Did you ever hear the story about Michael and Brett Voss?

The ball was about to be thrown up and Michael said to Brett: “My Dad f***ed your Mum last night”

My BIL said to me one day "How's it going heavy knackers?"

My reply of "They won't be in 15 minutes after I've emptied them in ya sister" seen him refer to me by name for all future communications.
