TURFFONTEIN - SATURDAY

I wouldn't have stayed alive in the PA in the 7th if I had put 6 horses in......lol
My 7th choice ran 3rd.....Oh well there is always next year......lol

Just went out of the PA with a 4th and 5th - oh well better luck next year

Looked to me like the appie on Mr Tobin hit Beta on the face as Beta was making his run - did anyone see that?

@ gregbucks -- Great call R3. Frodo as well in his preview R3.

I believe an an announcement about Ibsaar was made from the Tellytrack studio before the first race. I guess that;'s not much help, with many betting shops muting their TVs and most punters having evolved the ability to shut out the yapping when the sound is on.<

In terms of the conditions of the race Ibsaar should have been weighted off his net merit rating but was incorrectly weighted according to his gross MR instead. In other words, he should have got his WFA allowance, but didn't.

Got to wonder how something like this can happen - are the weights allocated by a computer program, in which case perhaps Ibsaar was not recorded as a 3 yr old - is there no-one that checks this sort of thing - or is he/she on leave?

Our own Laurel Canyon is also shown on TABGOLD cards as being a 5 yr old (in fact she is 4) - how many other 'little mistakes' ae going unnoticed?

Racing is like a sausage factory. You don't want to know what goes on behind the scenes, sometimes.

the horse was fit and dean got her to the front - he kept her going until after the line and i think she will win a few more as she matures - well done to tony, craige and Benny dean
