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

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.

Randwick today, Race 7, Horse No. 2.
2000m, G3, heavy track, post 7, Hughie Bowman up…
Should be bread & butter, right?

What a fuckinbeauty! Wire-to-wire. Easy. Another stakes win. Congrats. I singled her 1st leg in a whole whack of quaddies.

TV comm says Polly will be defending her Gosford Cup win in three weeks, is that right?

I doubt it. She’ll have to carry too much. Been nominated for Doomben Cup.
Was a pretty easy watch that last furlong

As a punter it’s a great feeling when they’re three lengths ahead at the 150 and drawing away to put more daylight. It was over at the top of the straight, and those were some petty good horses she beat. Has stakes wins at both Rosehill and Randwick now, that has to feel pretty satisfying.
And singling her in a pile of 20-cent quaddies allowed me to really spread deep and throw in some roughies, and I did hit the one ticket for $1,300+. Sure would have liked to hit the early quaddie. One of my kiwi-bred longshot throwins won the first race at 44-1, and the winning tickets were huge payouts.

Wow. Going to face some extremely tough company in that race.
‘Unfinished business’ instead of Royal Ascot for Zaaki
Trainer Annabel Neasham confirmed the seven-year-old is headed north for what will likely be a two-run campaign over the winter carnival, before being set for the Cox Plate in the spring carnival.

She will only go if conditions suit. She won’t face them on top of the ground i doubt. In the right conditions she is a great force.

Waller’s five attempt to take down Zaaki
Leading trainer Chris Waller is renowned for gang tackling big races but even he concedes his team of five may not be enough to take down Zaaki in Saturday’s Group 2 Hollindale Stakes on the Gold Coast.
Waller expects to have Kolding, Polly Grey, Hungry Heart, Great House and last-start winner Kukeracha in the $500,000 contest against headline horses Zaaki and Ayrton.
That’s some impressive company.

Kentucky Derby goes Saturday.
My selections:
12 TAIBA 12-1
6 MESSIER 8-1
10 ZANDON 3-1
3 EPICENTER 7/2
15 WHITE ABBARIO 10-1If you can grab fixed odds at 12-1 on Taiba I would jump on it. Bit of a risk, the horse has only had two races, but was dominant in both, including last start win in Santa Anita Derby. Messier also good value. Zandon and Epicenter are good shots, but not at those prices. Morning-line on on White Abarrio is just right, I’ll keep my eye on him and jump on him anything above that odd.

He’s earning double his closest rival. Income below is prize-money %-only, does not include mount fees which run about $250-$300/race. Nature Strip and VE have been verry, verry good.
