Australian racing

And now officially recognised as best in the world ( well joint ) . And the horse she beat Happy Clapper is rated joint 4th best !!

I prefer Timeform's ratings. They have Battaash and Cracksman 2lbs ahead of Winx.

Have the clocks gone back in Australia ?

Ours went forward this weekend but Australian racing seems delayed by two hours.

They go back this weekend

So will be 9 hours difference between us and Sydney

Thanks.

The Longines final ratings for 2017 had Cracksman and Winx both on 130 and Battaash on 123.. Arrogate was top with 134 .. pretty similar apart from Battaash

Battaash was breathtakingly impressive at Chantilly and Goodwood and I do love sprint races

Should see Battaash in the Temple Stakes in May all being well.

Film about Winx shown on 60 mins last year I think ... shows the race that started it all off .. The Sunshine Coasr Guineas .. where she came from way out the back in a big field to win so easily . Worth watching just to see that race ( comes about 7 mins into clip )

If you havnt seen It take a look

Eight group races at Rosehill. Don't know what to expect from Caulfield, much lower grade racing than usual for a Saturday.

[Derek27]

Caulfield's volatile tonight. Don't know what it is about Rosehill but every time things are going badly the market somehow swings round in my favour leaving me with a green book.

Nice one .I have got lucky on some very small greens just before chaos hit .Not reading it well today.Very erratic.I am being very defensive now. Who dropped the 20k in the last minute on "Hear the Chant" R2 Caulfield? -which lost ..My word that dropped the price just as I got out of a (lay first) scalp...phew

[Derek27]

Enjoying Rosehill but I've got nothing out of Caulfield yet and I'm treading cautiously over there as well.

Getting to grips with Caulfield.

Good stuff. I have backed of a little-watching a lot.Doing me break even thing-which today feels like profit There seems to be a big backer buzzing around..seen 16k dropped at PMaq and 5.7 at Newcastle -very late.Might be misreading it but will keep an eye out for him/them

Nice win by Almandin over the fancied Gailo Chop in the Tancred Stakes

Wish I could have watched it but I'm away for Easter with my mobile connection, trying to preserve my data.

Was a really tight tussle down the last 300m. Quality race. 9 year old veteran Whoshothebarman got third I think.
