I will start by saying i am surprised 5 people caught Pick six. I may have found Luckys horse but not the Laird horse.

Just because there were 5 tickets does not mean 5 individuals as there could have been several % players making up 1-2 tickets and possibly 1 oke with 2 tickets as this was catchible if one was not banker blind....

Spies winner won well on debut. Well related could win some of the graded 2 years old races later on.
Main Defender. did his connections proud. Big weight. Horse Chestnut next they said after race
Fillies race sad that Quid pro quo did not win last start in SA. but the winner, 2nd and 4th all look very good. Winner go up from MR 89 to MR 120??
Males race Alec Laird has a good bunch of 3 year olds. MDK comments will be intersting.
Owner PJ Moor hot streak continued with Mercantour
....been following this 4eva and imvho it was the down in trip that did it more than a colour change....this is not an out and out sprinter and needs a build up and thus has been run around the bend which has not helped as he seems to flatten out in the finish....
Last race Top seed probably the disapointment of the day.
MDK yard look recharged and ready to take on the world. Great for SA racing.
Ryan Munger also had a great day. 

.....the way to play to beat the goodies is to use the scratchings in case they arrive and double up if they do to get some return on a bigger perm.....opened with 3 fav+scr+kicker... then 8 horses added a few longshots based on ped.....3 horses fav+scr+well bred kicker....then 3 again fav+scr+kicker.....3 again fav+scr+kicker.....4 horses inc scr.....5% for R130

......went out because Yeni was "smutsing"(showing off) on Greaterix and thought he had plenty in hand and was too late to respond to a challenge....if I am correct you will not see him throw a leg over another MmDK horse again....although 1 leg out my 5% became 20.....and only backed Mercantour to get my investment back.....whew

That's true, time will tell.

It looked like he knew he had the fitter horse, and 2.25 lengths on Diego from their last meeting, and when he went passed him under the hands, the last thing he ever expected was for Diego to come back at him, being the pace setter as well.  I feel for the big P6's or multiples that became unstuck because of this one.  

Simple....   he thought he had it IN THE BAG.......  cruised past hands & heels only.....  not even a hint of a stick......   UNTIL  PARISIAN come fighting back......    only THEN did he pull out the stick   &  try to get going again....  TOO LITTLE - TOOOO LATE I'M AFRAID.

Wat's the saying -   YOU SNOOZE U LOOZE..........    no doubt about that.   I wonder if  de Kock will use him any time soon.

also want to know was the stipes REPORT SAYS......     riding out to the finnish    ?????????

I remember Striker got time fir putting HIS HANDS DOWN - BEFORE THE POST -   this wasnt quite the same'but he thought he was in CRUISE MODE !!!!!    & would tamely go on by -    BUT NOT O BE.

YES I am talking out of my pocket cause I stood to collect a shit load of money.....  not to mention HUNDREDS OF P6 punters whose tickets went to DA BIN.
