The first timer wins so I guess that's one for the "insiders"......especially when it debuts in a race with an odds on stable companion!
The irritation is that the form horse should at least have been easily second best...............that's the run that deserves an enquiry!!!!

(the 4th race interview with Striker should have included a question as to how come he ended up on the "wrong one" in the 3rd......it's the problem of having sycophants as presenters)

in the football world certain managers never ever get questioned about their mistakes and if they are then the guy asking the questions get shot down. Maybe its the same in SA racing where the top jocks/trainers have nothing to answer for. just my thoughts.

I think that filly is going places - but 2000 seems her minimum trip; also a good run by Orchid Island - and accolades to the winner who is very gutsy; on the negative thank goodness I did not dip into my savings to buy Estimation :ohmy:
