Trainer Stuart Webb reckons Yosei could be a Cox Plate prospect. He'll nominate her for the WFA classic at Moonee Valley in October though he admits that a more realistic goal will be the Grp 1 Myer Classic at Flemington. Yosei came from last on the home turn to 'slash' through the pack to win Sat's Tatts Tiara from the hot favorite Beaded. It was jockey Michelle Payne's fourth Grp 1 winning ride and her third on Yosei.What's happened to Aussie trainer David Hall in Hong Kong? He's having a woef

What's happened to Aussie trainer David Hall in Hong Kong? He's having a woeful season - only 18 winners from 310 runners at a paltry strike rate of 5.8%. Wonder how much longer he'll remain in Honkers? Meantime, John Size is well off the premiership this season though he does have the highest strike rate of any of the trainers -- 14.5% with 62 winners from 427 runners. He's in 3rd spot on the ladder behind Tony Cruz with 72 winners from 593 runners (12.1%) and John Moore withy 65 winners from 475 runners (13.7%). So, Cruz has had 166 more runners than Size and yet is still only 10 winners ahead.
