Autumn 2016

[Lemon Squash]

A sight for sore eyes with some carnival horses beginning to kick of their campaigns over the next week or so.

Thought I'd kick us off a thread.

Any horses people are particularly looking forward to seeing come back this time in?

Tulsa is back in this week in the Manfred Stakes, had no luck at all last prep and was still a big baby. On what he produced though I think he has the ability to be a pretty serious horse.

Finally draws a gate here and there should be speed on in this, I think he can swamp a pretty smart field. It will be short of his best distance but as long as he doesn't look like Richie Callander after a buffet dinner I will be backing him EW at nice odds.

First Seal is the other horse I am keen to see back, how quickly people forget this girl used to eat Winx for breakfast as a 3yo. Obviously horses can improve over time but I'm sure she is at least still in Winx's league, will be interesting to see her back to her best.

Alpine Eagle the big one for me. Gutted he got injured as it had a massive chance last prep in the major races

I'm pretty sure I actually remember reading something a few weeks back that Alpine Eagle was no certainty to return in time for the Autumn?

Hopefully that's not the case, I think the horse has a bit of freak factor about him.

Hope not jeez that horse has been unlucky with injuries.

He's out of a Zabeel mare as well.

Yep, already annoyed I backed him in a futures last prep and got injured

They said the same thing about Fame Game! How about they back it up with performances this time.

Tulsa was pathetic yesterday if he was 'ready to be raced' I'm the Pope. Looked half fit at best, didn't attack the line one bit...and no I didn't have money on it!

On the positive had $20 on Shakespearen Lass

I'll believe it when I see it. Japanese conditions are quite different. Not saying it won't do well but I'm waiting for the horse to do well in Australia. Would need to trial well over here

Tulsa wasn't fit. Have watched the race twice and it didn't hit the line well. Looked way short of a gallop. It happens and 1-2 more runs Tulsa will be back to full fitness

Pride of Dubai has been retired

So much pressure from the Breeding Industry, waited a whole year to get him back to the track and after one bad run they pull the pin.

Hartley isn't coming to Australia,its only just turned 3,i just mentioned it for some reason cos its gonna be a gun.

Turn Me Loose and Xtravagant are my horses for the Autumn in Australia.

lol i laughed when i read about his retirement this morning,not at his injury of course but what you said about breeding.

Still no idea why no Aussie studs have tried to buy a son of Deep Impact to race AND OR stand here.

He seems to be a freak sire.

Im still pissed Deep Impact never won that Arc,he was first up in the Arc from a 3 month layoff if i remember(no leadup run) and they rode him closer to the pace than normal

Deep impacts win in the Tenno Sho was one of the best I have seen, he's a freak on and off the track.
