Fave was scratched. Good win. Horrible looking action but quick horse!

Should note I was on course to watch it run, I believe Sky's infrastructure is not working today so it's audio only.

Really, an odd/ungainly action?

I haven't seen it run in person and I didn't get to see the run today because of vision issues with Sky. I hope to watch the replay later tonight. I got on it at $4.60 prior to the favourite being scratched. All up I got it at about $2.98 on Sportsbet. Not too bad. And a win which is good.

The field looked pretty week without Sioux running but all you can do is beat the others, hey?

Beat them soundly too, yes.

I dunno if you've seen the footage yet but it looks like it's stumbling a bit at times? Held the others comfortably, has speed to burn. Who cares what it looks like? Just felt like it was gonna fall over at times :lol:

I did. Looks ok but does look a bit green. I'm not sure other than the second horse that we've beaten much but we'll take the win.

Any other horse owners out there?

Have you purchased any 'past the post' photos like this and put them in the pool room?

BTW, if they want me to purchase this based upon the proof then I'll think again.

They seem to follow this template fairly often but I'd imagine he'd have a gallery from the day and that particular race you could pick from and develop your own memorabilia for half the price.

Terry would sell his images directly as well and his contact details are pretty easy to grab. I can PM them to you having worked with him over the years.

Thanks OnSong. But I'm more interested in, if anyone has purchased them and whether they think they're worth while?

Yeah I have a few, expensive but always a good memory to look back on, I don't think you would regret getting one.

Word on the street re: Gold Trip
Owners don't want to run Saturday, one person from the stable does. That particular person putting pressure on Caulfield to put more water on the track.
