The boys have to fund the site somehow. I`m sure aap don`t supply their feeds for free, the photo`s must be purchsed and the boys would hve their website fees not to mention the cost of maintaining and renovating the site. Luc and Kagan try to provide the best one stop service to all punters and rac...

I don`t think there is much between TT & MJ and if they raced over 1600m i think you could run the race 10 times and each would win 5 times. I think only luck on the day in the run would split them and i would have loved a share in either of them.

orry i didn`t get back to you sooner aus1 I have stopped doing my ratings at the end of the sydney canival as it takes up too much time to keep up to date but More Joyous finished the Sydney Carnival on 149.5 so hust outside what i classed as elite (150+)

Moody`s no fool. He`s target the Cox Plate in the spring so one would think that this isn`t an afterthought or else he would be spelling now. Reports out of Queensland say that the horse has improved since his Sydney runs and is cherry ripe.

[destiny 12] Surely you are joking. They don't just give away Group 1 races and this is arguably the second weakest race of his prep. There is not a horse in the race weighted to advantage against him, only Shez Sinsational has equal to what they would have in a Hcp or ratings band race against Mani...

If this were a handicap instead of WFA the weights based on their official ratings should look like this:MANIGHAR (FR) 59 disadvantage 0SCENIC SHOT 55.5 disadvantage 3.5 kgTRIPLE HONOUR (NZ) 53 disadvantage 6 kgWALL STREET (NZ) 55 di...

Manighar is in the top 4 horses in the country at the moment and Black Caviar, Atlantic Jewel and Americain aren`t there, gets the best gear change of all - L. Nolen on. Damien Oliver is a great jockey but clearly doesn`t suit the horse, hasn`t won on him, while Nolen has won 4 of his 5 rides on the...

Moody and Nolen made a statement to the poms today in her 21st Win. The statement: She can win without even trying. strapper may have to wake Nolen up to get him to unsaddle her after that one.

That's a great interview isn't it !

Anybody see Moody fire up during his interview with a pommy racing show 'trackside' last week ?The journo asked him this question ? "Black Caviar has won 20 straight in Australia but form analysts in the UK are still saying she has beaten nothing. How would you feel if she comes here and is soundly ...

Ard Dickie would be a great name for a racehorse ! Especially if its's an entire.

MarsVolta If you go to the general forum category and look for a post called 'Understanding handicapping in Australia and NZ i have posted a rough pyramid of how different classes stack up if you refer to this you can see where a horse stacks up in todays race as oppsed to last few runs in regards t...

Bevan_16 I too use the horses stats at the distance, track and in the going but i have found that you must also factor in the average prizemoney a horse has earned per start. This tells you the aproxamate class order of the horses competing in a given race. Eg. ATwo horses have both had 1 run and w...

To loose Vo Rouge and Northerly within a few days of each other is a sad occurrance for Australian racing both true champs and both full of fight.

I agree DJ it is complicated i wish they would impliment a class system and structure that covers the entire country but each jurisdiction wants to keep control of their own little area.

Ah i almost forgot the girls - fillies and mares get 2kg relief against the boys.Example Warnambool R5 wed 2nd May 2012. RB 68The top horse Horacio rates 66 horse but as the best horse in the race gets top weight 59kg.The worst horse Chicanes rates 58 he carries 55 reciving 4kg for his 8 worse ratin...
