@TravTurf killing it

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@PADDYD77162303 You couldn’t say any fillies that have been snapped up for the slot race are 2000 metre plus fillies.

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@cwallerracing trained and @GoRAClNG owned Tajanis has been nominated for the @BarfootThompson Auckland Cup on 8 March.

@CaroSearcc @coolmorestud @GaiWaterhouse1 @Ballydoyle @PencarrowStud @KarakaChat @SkyRacingAU She was of the highest class. Had some great battles with Darci

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@TTaylorTAB Definitely worth the review if you bat in front of one stump only

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@HuntRacing @MatamataRacing No Awapuni? 😝

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@TravTurf @Caulfield @Racing Who’s are likely for Herbert Power?

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

Given the race shape and subsequent demolition job by Pride Of Jenni yesterday, would Winx, who would have likely been 30 lengths from her at the 600, been able to beat her? Not saying for a second POJ a better horse than Winx but you know what I mean

@FinPowrie @GuerinSports Hi Fin. Yes, without opening our infield

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

Great win for @HaunuiFarm part owned Sudbina in Desert Gold Stakes at Trentham. Second filly home by previous @HaunuiFarm stallion Iffraaj sire son of current resident sire Ribchester. 🍾 🍾

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@PADDYD77162303 Winning a stakes race at your debut is not a failure. If left in NZ she would have been very competitive in races like Matamata Breeders Stakes and or Sistema Stakes. Market value for a black type winning filly by Fastnet would have been significant.

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@PADDYD77162303 But you didn’t report the facts. You said the four you listed were high price failures. She wasn’t a failure. So - you weren’t reporting the facts

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

Convinced No Compromise is overs in Cambridge Stud Zabeel Classic. Recent runs in Sydney been very encouraging and likes wet ground

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@Chaye_DDaze @GuerinSports @WeatherleySam99 @YouTube These are the ones I know of. Newcastle in NSW, Moe and Moonee Valley in VIC and Elwick and Mowbray in Tasmania

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@Lion_Tamer_Nz Obviously hope she wins just not sure she has the change up speed at 1500. Still think her best distance will be 2000

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@GuerinSports @BigPhiliStyles Not Cox Plate but didn’t Kiwi win an Egmont Cup before winning the Melbourne Cup?

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

@GuerinSports You would think something has to show up given he is lengths better than that.

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

Mr Brightside is a great horse. Can take a position and kicks hard when asked. Proper horse

[Craig Baker @Reliableman77]

Good day’s racing today but just a prelude to tomorrow’s jumping match race of the century in New Zealand’s most important jumps race. Who will prevail?
