Miss Finland

[stuke]

that ride was on the nose. a complete farce.

about an hour before the race on Saturday I was given the tip NOT to back her, no matter the price as she would not win.

i hope they do a proper investigation into that race.

 

[Moffo]

it was a joke, pathetic. i see it has 46kg for the cox though...i might jump on at the 26/1

 

[stuke]

and Williams retains the ride as long as he makes the weight!

how surprising!

 

[Nuffs]

i think the next time williams rides miss finland, he'll ride it an absolute beauty

unfortunately it will be in the 1000 guineas where we wont get $3

if it was in the cox plate next start, i'd have some on it at $26

A kiwi will win the Cox Plate ;-)

i might get 46kg for the cox plate but no jockey will get that low, the lowest they might get is 48-49 which is still a light weight

 

[Nuffs]

williams has said he'll get to 47KG and connections have already asked for permission to ride her at 47KG if she runs

i dont like backing horses with jockeys that have wasted to get the ride. i think the jockeys lose alotof their energy and/or strength

on another note, i dont like jockeys that have to ride a horse 6 or 7 kg's over their normal weight. means that the horse has to carry "dead" weight instead of having a jockey use all of his weight to push the horse

I've heard things arent right with Miss Finland (might be injured).
Watch the papers/listen to the news over the next few days in case something comes up.
Dont know how bad she is but a Cox Plate start could be in doubt.

 

[Nuffs]

miss finland has been backed from 25's to 9's in the cox plate

Going by that it must be ok.
Noticed its still in the Thousand Guineas on Wednesday and if it starts no doubt it will be favourite.
Heard it put its back or neck out or something similar so it must be a minor complaint.
We'll know on Wednesday anyway.

 

[Nuffs]

we (the punters) never get to hear about these minor problems that affect the horses

be very interesting if she doesn't run well on wednesday

i wont be on her. and i wont in the cox either

 

[Moffo]

miss finland, whilst not the best horse, with that weight, is a big chance in the cox plate. reminds me of viscount

 

[Freak2]

A very young 3 year old filly in the cox plate???

Not for me!!

 

[stuke]

Gee...what a different ride that was today :sarcasm: :shock: :sarcasm:

 

[juggalo_strit]

It was wasn't it stuke.....
It could end up being Williams only bad ride of the carnival....
