But I really think this horse has a bit of the x factor about him. Hoping he can go right to the top... glad to have him onside and connections well overdue a good one.
        I agree with the sentiments regarding Gordan having another below par runner, something not right in my opinion at the minute. Let's see how Galvin gets on later on, if he flops ill be giving him a wide birth for a little while.

          Actually thought Santonito ran a decent race. Always going a stride too quick for him but kept on really well and jumped perfectly adequately.Blatantly needs further and probably softer ground. Winner did it really well and looks a decent animal. Not sure he'd want to go further than 2 miles and doubt he'll appreciate winter ground which is why he's out early I assume. Wouldn't be surprised if he took in some flat races as well.

            Agreed Lobos. Had him in the tracker for the Albert Bartlett and nothing about that run would put me off.

                    100%. I’ve been guilty in the past and learnt the hard way. The season doesn’t start until Willie says so.

                          I started the My Mate Mozzie fan club on here so that was my crime from last season

                          Although Let’s Talk Racing I could not care for their view. They are just a mouthpiece and playing the followers game on Twitter. For the casual punter they serve a purpose but Josh especially wouldn’t be amongst the top 20 contributors on here.

                            I bet the aeroplane and rocket emoji was plastered everywhere along with ‘on at 50/1’!

                              For sure

                              It's just harmless entertainment

                                I have to say I don’t even find it that entertaining. They force too many videos out and end up with at least 3 previews for every race in the couple of months leading up to the festival. But they both have aspirations of being in racing media so I can’t begrudge them for their method, even if it’s not to my taste. ABW I really like as he can put a proper case forward for a horse and knows his form. Josh just feeds off second hand information and can’t even pronounce the names correctly. The most frustrating thing is that they seem to move markets!

                                Right that’s enough of being a mardy bugger like Quevega for the day.
