So Polly Grey is being backed up this weekend into the Group 1 Coolmore.
Super Exciting but I'm super realistic too. Different gravy, group 1's.
Just the fact that she has shown enough to warrant a place in a field (with wet track) is thrilling.
Krone won last year in a very similar field and it's not like that is one of the top horses in Australia. Every fucking chance even at that distance.

Go Pol Pol!
Our mare has her first Aussie start on Saturday too. She's been slightly renamed to "I Need You Now" but she should measure up in R7 at Menangle (provided the track recovers from last weekend's flooding).
We also have the current favourite for a Group 2 at Alexandra Park in a few weeks so that's nice.
could be a very big saturday
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmulti

At $34 and 8$ that warrants an early bet before @mariner4life empties his pockets and sends it to under $10s lol

Polly Grey goes in the Group 1 Coolmore Classic at Rosehill in a couple hours. Currently at 19-1 where I am. A tough ask, but it’s a heavy track, Shout The Bar and Fangirl have been scratched, and Polly has the highest rating of the remainder. I’ll def add to my quaddie ticket.
-
I'm on the finishing post to watch her win

Showoff.

Shame about the result. Had best day of the year (so far) on the punt. Hit the early quaddie at Rosehill, 20-cent for $360; then the late quaddie, another 20-center, for $420. Put $20 to win on 37-1 kiwi darkhorse Roch ‘N Hors in the G1 Newmarket at Flemington for his first trip in Oz, and fuckme he won, paid $760. And pressed hard on a short $1 ticket late quaddie at Gosford netted me $2,200. All told about $4K on a $300 budget. Was pinching myself.

The Kiwis again stunned Australia when Roch ‘N’ Horse shocked punters with her win in Saturday’s Group 1 Newmarket Handicap. Those that backed Roch ‘N’ Horse might be able to buy themselves a full tank of petrol after returning a massive $95.90 dividend on the Victorian TAB while she paid $121.30 for the win in NSW. The shocks continued in the minor placings. The $61 chance The Astrologist grabbed second ahead of September Run, who started at $26. The trio combined to produce a trifecta dividend of $44,694 in Victoria while another Kiwi, Levante ($18) finished fourth, contributing to a massive first four dividend of $205,657.https://www.racenet.com.au/news/roch-n-horse-causes-epic-boilover-in-newmarket-20220311
That NSW TAB dividend tells me I was robbed!

VE at ridiculously short odds upset in the G1 Ravnet. JMac took her back to the rear, she roared around at the turn and looked for the world would get up quickly, but drifted and flattened out and was well beaten a couple lengths by Montefilia. Disappointing.

Polly goes at Rosehill in a couple hours, G3 stakes 2000m. Race 3 No. 13. Heavy track. Everything suits.

Yeah and only 53.5 in the weights. Not sure how long it’s been since she’s carried that weight.
Racing is a fickle hua though. She should go well though. Hopefully

It’s pissing rain in Rosehill for Race 2, it’s dark and can barely see the horses, they’re having a tough time running through this!
-
Very nice 2nd place to Polly, took the middle part of the track and was gaining strongly to the line, just held off by the favourite. 50 more yards would have won it. Nice job, cash the cheque!

If she got out earlier she would have won. Super run. Happy to get a decent cheque as meeting abandoned after our race

‘Couldn’t see a thing’: Top hoops raise Rosehill safety concerns
Sydney’s premier jockey James McDonald rode in the three races and said the extremely heavy surface, driving rain and visibility issues was “as bad a track as you will ever get. … I couldn’t see a thing.’’

Damn - I emptied my TAB account on Polly's nose!!!
That's not as bad as it sounds due to previous poor punting.

We all had a plunge on her. You’re in good company. 😁

I almost singled Polly in my early quaddie, but did add the short-priced fave with Willie Pike for insurance to my ticket at the last minute, and was alive to some pretty good prices on a broad selection in the last leg (first two winners went off at 10-1 and 9-1 respectively). They they cancelled rest of the card (now rescheduled for Monday), and paid out on all the horses in last leg, $69 per horse on a 20-cent ticket, I had six selections and banked $415 on a $14.40 wager, so won’t complain too hard. Ready to play my late quaddie ticket now.
