Also a big FOF fan. Going to be a cracking race but over a mile I will be in the Variety Club camp. (tu)

festival of fire was drawn 4 in the tibouchina gp 2 race over 1450 on the same day but they have opted to run her against the best in the land at wfa terms:S

Hmmmmmmmmm, i reckon this is an acid test and will firm up her career plans after the race. That is, leave and go to greener pastures or continue to race locally. At best I see her running 4th.

how important is draw?

anybody still dreaming of beating VC over this trip and race type needs to catch a wakeup. I reckon the only horse that VC misses is Gimmethegreenlight, i think he feels bored wonders why he should keep racing with this lot.

BB is the BB on the card
