100% Flash,

Louisg is man of great insight in racing but the forum will go with or without trainers/ jocks opinions and punters do not necessarily depend on such opinions to be successful in this game....its kind of them to provide the info but we are not totally lost without it.

Twas my impression that wires just got crossed a little between LG and FH. Louis has said plenty times he likes Striker aboard when possible but that he has every confidence in Deon. Think he was showing support to DS and respect to him for that. Perhaps it appears there was an over-reaction to FH's comments but, as I say, I think wires just a little crossed. Hopefully not a big deal for either party and one of those "incidents" that I am sure would never have come about if they were speaking face-to-face, very easy sometimes on forums for a message not to be conveyed/received exactly as we would like, I am sure we have all been in that boat at times... or, in my case, plenty times! :S ()

DTF... correct, but was one worth waiting for

Apologies for any over-celebration as I notice a few would have earned nicely on Tacit... Magi n Sharkie are two that spring to mind.

Well said , Keniza.(tu)

Flash, great insight and u have been vindicated !!!

Sampson a good jockey but having Striker on is PRICELESS.<

Dave, my mind might be a bit of an old dusty bin but I can still remember the odd thing or two

he related to Vernon Koekemoer....?


P.S. some nice tipping today Englander.....(tu)I like a double figure tote place payout....

Can nothing be done about the kickback here as I feel it might have soured a few
They might have liked the sand but not the kickback.

Ben that is why you often see horses running 4 wide into the straight to avoid the kick back.

and does the times sometimes get slower as the day progresses

No...something more in line with a plexiglass visor to prevent the sand getting into the horses' face/nose/mouth....
