Flamingo Park Monday

Don't normally follow, Monday is a rest day!

However I see Nicola Welch has a few good mounts and so does Andrew Fortune.

I wish her all the best on Fun to Fly, its 5/10 and I see the punters are looking for an even 10K.

Cross Your Heart for Andrew is 7/10 with 8/10 on offer.

Good punting!

scotia

please post your selections

How is sly getting on with his open bet on fortune? and is it still open?

My fancy today is for the young T. Appie to have his best day yet ... riding the last double. Oh Neils and Gold Streak... usual disclaimers apply.

Capt Lance for me today

I see nicola had her winner,well done

Yes must have been plenty pressure with all that extra money on the horses back

Well done!

Is Elvis staying over in the Hotel in Kimberley, or has he left the building?

Hello Scotia,

Elvis has NOT left the building - he is still very much here. Young Elvis's FIRST DOUBLE in one day.This hopefully will boost her confidence.

I have not seen that last win, but heard the commentary. By all accounts it seems like she was squeezed in between Gunther & Andrew.... two of the strongest riders at the business end of the race.

Can anyone comment.......... did she perhaps outride these two top jocks ? Please let me know.

Elvis snr. will be having a few JWBlue tonight.

I thought she would get a hattrick today ... but well done to her nonetheless !!

Nicola Welch: Elvis is a proud pop

Nicola rode a double today at Flamingo park aboard Fun to fly and Zanzabee

Scotia,

that ride on Zanzabee was more commendable than I originally thought. In the last 150m or so ZANZABEE was struck on the HEAD with the whip ( at least 3 -4 times )from ANDREW FORTUNE, who was on the HOT favourite.

It shows you how desperate some jocks can be to win at ALL COSTS. I wonder if there will be anything in the stipes report.

Oom Spies certainy praised Nicci on a good ride here, & YES SHE DID CERTAINLY OUTRIDE ANREW -3rd & Gunther 2nd, & she was carrying 2nd top weight of 57.5 kgs !

I watched the replays - Very good ride by Nicci on Zanzabee - congratulations on the double - say Elvis why did Oom Tobie refer to her as 'Naughty Nicci'?

It was an excellent and particularly well judged ride on Zanzabee. Cool as a cucumber under somewhat intimidating circumstances.
