Now it would be interesting to see if horses like Depardieu, In a Rush, Potala Palace get in before experienced sand campaigners like Shattered Image and Eugenes ....:

if they do it makes a mockery of this Race

Titch, it looks like those are the acceptors as the course couldn't handle 21 runners.

Just an observation.....Wesley Mawing cant crack the nod on either Weiho horse? I think he has done well on Uncle Tommy......

The way Mike Azzie speaks of Pylon.......is this a 1 horse race?

We all know Mike is passionate about his horses, but i think this time he is on the money!

there will be eliminations and the draw will then be done live

Dont think Pylon has bumped this quality before

Are the weights correct? Pylon to carry 64.5 kg.:S
