This weekend there are 18 races on my list in four states (5 in Sydney, 5 in Victoria, 3 in SA and 5 in Perth) though one of the Perth races has the champion sprinter Dante's Volante entered and the race is really on considered for exacta, trifecta and first four purposes at best.
Sydney really holds the limelight with the likes of Tuesday Joy, Hot Danish,Forensics, Heart Of Dreams and Burdekin Blues heading the handicappers ratings in their respective events. Well, I assume Burdekin Blues is heading the rating because his rating is not listed! I will be contacting the ARB as far too many horses are omitted in the fields and these days there is no excuse for such oversights/laziness.
Nice to reflect on the perfect result in the Newmarket at Newcastle todaywith A selection winning at over 6/1 from B selection and the 1/1 favourite unplaced. Some races just work out as planned hoy.wever that is now gone and onward we march towards Saturday
