Lightning Stakes (G1) - Flemington (Saturday)

[Macca_]

the Puss is out... just checked the Tab racing site and she's scratched

Unf**kin believable! There goes my coin already!

 

[OVP]

Yep Glamour Puss is out

Rewaaya for mine ... the only other horse ive seen with a terrifying burst of speed like Rewaaya possesses is Mnemosyne (from over 1.5 years ago in the wet). Rewaaya is a special imo.

 

[Moffo]

there r no specials in this race

 

[Earl]

Takeover Target or Jet Spur

 

[Macca_]

I've gone Jet Spur now the Puss is out.

 

[Cletus]

Takeover Target from God's Own and Cape of Good Hope, from the radio. Does anyone know what TT will be in next?

 

[Billy Gunn]

After getting Minson up and the Puss being scratched backed TT at $5.50 fixed odds (half an hour before the race) and has a great day

Would thing that TT will head to the G1 Aust Stakes at the valley in two weeks then to the newmarket

That's a lot better than it paid on the tote. I read today that it might go to England but you'd think it would have another run in Melbourne.

 

[Moffo]

cape of good always runs a good race, surely it can't be far away from a win

Oakleagh Plate (but it will depend on the weight it gets).
More likely to be the Australia Day Stakes at Moonee Valley.

 

[Nuffs]

yep australia stakes then newmarket even maybe tj smith in sydney

glamour puss is running in these races i think and if she wins 2 of them the trainer wants to take her to england

 

[Cletus]

Is the Oakleigh Plate a handicap? Didn't realise the Lightning was WFA so I came off looking a bit silly saying "depending on the Weight":lol:
It was a shame that Glamour Puss was scratched from the Lightning, wasn't real impressed with it till it won those races at the end of last year. Would be good to see Takeover Target vs. Glamour Puss. Two top classers.

I'd also like to see Takeover Target over some middle distance races, it reminds me of the way Sunline used to win it's races. It's a shame it had so many problems as I think it would be a champion if it didn't.

 

[Macca_]

I can't wait till they (hopefully) meet.

I been telling people I think she would have won that on Saturday...

 

[Nuffs]

yeah the oakleigh is a handicap

 

[Billy Gunn]

Be carefull not to rule out God's own in their encounter as he could be the spoiler in any match race.

He will only get better with a little more distance
