Too bad to be true, and it was...Mumslad, a $3.80 fav at Randwick on Saturday, ended up 13th and was found to be sore in the off foreleg.
Jockey Chris O'Brien (one of those under-rated riders) reckons we have yet to see the best of Randwick winner Sincero. He says: 'He still hasn't gone full bore and is untapped....He's Group class.'
Tough ask...Can harness racing's new HQ at Menangle ever replace the greatness of Harold Park? Maybe. Last Friday night's celebration of more than 100 years of the sport on Harold Park's final night was a ripper. Punters swarmed onto the track after the last race, snapping up souvenirs to remember the Glebe track and its glory days. So, Harold Park is gone. The memories remain.
Flemington winner Lucky Eighty Eight is poised for a Sydney campaign. Breednet.com.au's Tara Magdwick reports: The five year-old has been given time to mature and looks to have a bright future, backing up easily from an impressive win last Saturday to repeat the dose. "He certainly took no harm from last week and was dominant today," said trainer Matt Ellerton. "We always thought he was a progressive sort of horse and now he's won three straight we'll give him a few weeks on the grass and then get ready for the Sydney Autumn where he might try for a few of the lesser Listed type staying races."
