de kock said he is going for Queens plate or paddock stakes with Rumya......now you non-believers know how good she is rated by him <

I'm not a non beliver ziets she is top class
Doubt she will run in the queens plate tho
3 yr old, open company against males if she gets anywhere near Vclub
She would be heavily penalized going forward
Think they would go paddock stakes keep her against fillies

Anyone have an idea of what the revised betting is now that Variety Club is a nominee?

Morning Bayern

za.sportingbet.com/sports-horse-racing/s...b-13/1-2-619732.html have Variety Club ranked 4th at 13/2. (Jackson 5/2, Pomodoro 11/2, King of Pain 6/1). In mvho - huge value for VC.

Morning Mac do u think VC will be ok with distance?

Aye, VC can do the distance but whether he can do it better than Jackson? Sjoe, the way VC won the Green Point suggests to me he will even hold off Jackson.

But this Met reminds me of the Met many decades ago with Wolf Power vs Arctic Cove. For the baby clansmen - Variety Club, as the champion miler, is the "Wolf Power"; and Jackson the champion intermediate as "Arctic Cove". Arctic Cove won the race (and I backed the Wolf ) - history to repeat itself?

Have a great day Scotia

After VC wins the Queens Plate the price will shorten......so back them both now.....u can't lose!

Thanks Mac, will have a look this evening, hopefully Hollywood, Betting World, etc price up soon.

The Met is much more open than the betting suggest,will be the best field in many years to contest and anyone must be really desperate to punt anything before the final field and draws.

whoever backs Jackson at odds 2/1(bettingworld)must be really really smoking the wrong stuff......If VC take the Queens plate well he will be very very hard to beat but the weight of 60kg can find him out....but he will still beat Jackson even if he run unplaced jackson will be behind him....

i disagree ziets...Jackson over the correct distance, on the long run-in...game over
just put it this way, do you think Crawford was trying to win the last two runs behind VC? and if Karis had the opportunity to win the race, do you think he would have? to win a few grand beating VC, or making sure your horse does not get a single pound worse off in the weights so you can win the Met? The performance of Jackson was not a true reflection of ability...the Met has been the main target all along, and to be honest i cannot see VC seeing out the extra distance...VC will be running on empty, whilst J will have a rocket up its #@$ charging home down the straight
