    The slow maturing Brothers Keeper, will continue to improve,and will develop into very nice stayer

    Did Star Exhibit get as high as 50/1 ? Amazing.




    $67 with odd boost on Ladbrokes.
    Serious question. Do you have to be a loser to get odds boost?
    Before they limited me they turned it on and off and just said i wasn't eligible for this promotion etc etc. I think if you show a consistent pattern of winning bets when using the odds boost then they may cut you off whether you're a winner overall or not

    With all due respect i think the date change to the 5th was a success. Biggest crowd ive seen at ascot for years. The crowd was bigger than railway stakes day this year no matter what the figures say.

    Was there when the Kiwi Magistrate won both - he was about ten years old - well can put a line straight through him - no chance - won by about 9 lengths away running from them. Think he might have had red and black colours. Ran in Melbourne Cups too.

    Yeah para first Saturday in January looks the way to go. Am slowly warming to that.
    However what's happens when the first Saturday in January is New Years Day ?
    Guessing then that will be a good day to run it too.

    Brothers Keeper running 8th - great effort - was one of the bigger surprise packets. Looks to have stayer written all over him.

    A 3,200 WA Cup might be his go ? Or Perth Cup next year.

    Not suggesting anything untoward of course.

    After your observation why the disclaimer? At the the time I thought there was a lack of initative.

    Great to see the Perth Cup go to battling owner and trainer.

    Pity that trainer Alan Mathews doesn't have the same involvement. 2400 metres probably has an impact.
