all round sour taste

Brilliant career management of both horses.

I see no reason why 8 or 9 time winners winning again should be cause for concern - BUT in the case of Greasepaint, I suggest the horse had no chance on current form, which does leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth - but there are many instances where seemingly 'no-hopers' upset

For me Angelic Appeal has at least been showing improvement off her current rating, so she must have had a chance on recent form. What gets my goat, is when horses suddenly improve to win - I think we can all accept that horses are not machines - but really, to suddenly improve after quite a few poor runs , does irk

Greasepaint did have the form

Last 10runs

3runs over the turn and the other 7over the straight

1400m Tur finished last

1200vac Mr84 handicap
Short head second 0.20 lengths

1200vac Mr83 handicap
4.50 lengths of the winner

The horse enjoyed going around the Bend over the Sprint

If you look at the form the horse had at the venue the last time/times the horse ran, greasepaint deserved to win!

Leave out runs at other centers!!

You focus on VAC1200m not Tur 1160m or Vaal 1000m/Vaal 1200m

One could always make a case it you really want to - and I assume you found him yesterday, so well done; however you also need to remember that all 9 his previous wins were down the straight over 1000 and 1160 - it does give ammunition to the folks who may suggest that he was given a few 'soft' runs recently in order to get them to drop his rating ....

Quinlan another one of those?
Came last in it's last two runs and beats it's 15-10 and 3-1 stable companions.
And for good measure Bremner's fourth choice also finished ahead of the those two.
