@TravisOG5 @braddavo Gee that's really discrediting MJ.

She was a superstar.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

She faced Ceolwulf and nothing else in a King Charles.

The Champions Mile whilst a contest with Lindermann and good to watch, was run slowly and she did what everyone expected.

That's not true. She isn't set challenges though in terms of stage of preparation (she didn't race twice in Cup week), didn't contest Handicap races like The Epsom. Didn't go sprinting for an Everest/ Champions Sprint.

The King Charles or Champions Mile were certainly not stronger also than the Cox Plate this year.

My only knock is she doesnt have a defining win and hasn't met a true challenge in her 5yo year.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

She doesn't have a Via Sistina, Verry Elleegant, Incentivise, Nature Strip enormous peak.
I'd only rank those horses as good as her in the post Winx era but I'd just like to see it in a classic race or at a different distance/ Handicap conditions etc.
Winx obviously had huge peaks also.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

She's no doubt the best around right now at 1400m+.

I mean compared to a historic ratings benchmark of what is genuinely elite.

I use FormKing's WFA ratings and my working of that scale has anything above 106 labelled as elite.
The George Ryder, Winx and King Charles rate in that bracket, lot of her other wins just in a genuine G1 standard ranking.

"Izzy was dearly loved and will forever be in our hearts."

The thoroughbred racing industry is in profound mourning following the news that apprentice jockey Izzy Neale has passed away, aged just 22.

Sounds like Australia will have three #HKIR runners this year:

👉🏼 Sir Delius likely to go to the Cup instead of the Vase
👉🏼 Kingswood and Land Legend set to tackle the Vase
👉🏼 Cindy Alderson confirms that Jigsaw will not head to Hong Kong to tackle Ka Ying Rising in the Sprint

@Carinaboy1 @J_Walter23 The great Glamour Puss should be on here. What a name and a talented filly.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

@Carinaboy1 @J_Walter23 Not many win Golden Slipper, Golden Rose and an Empire Rose.

Absolute beauty Forensics, she had some good clashes with another fav the mighty Mimi Lebrock.

Norzita
Nechita
Vormista
Alverta
Sacred Choice

Could all go on Walt's list.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

@SEvans1990 @TrentC_Racing Maybe. That QE such a weird race Sir Delius never looked the same since and Lindermann ridden cold outworked her late.

I would love to see her at 2000m again but doubt that'll happen.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

@RattLeblanc @TrentC_Racing She's consistently racing at her best trips though.

VE best was 2000+ and Via 2000. Both had incredible records given that.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

not knocking her connections. She's one of the first horses of her class to run in the VIC vs NSW period and have so many races tailored to her worth exorbitant prizemoney.

She is perfectly managed given that compared to other horses of her ilk of years past who had to race in the classics as that was were the big money was.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

More Joyous still ahead for me of AG.

Mares since 2000 ahead no order.

Makybe Diva, Black Caviar, Winx, Sunline, More Joyous, Miss Andretti, Verry Elleegant, Via Sistina.

Sits somewhere with Atlantic Jewel as a great horse with champion like talent and her longevity will likely make her regarded as such but still no defining moment to pinpoint.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

@TrentC_Racing Peak numbers maybe she's in Sunline's realm but geez nowhere near the CV and Sunline didn't just do it in Aus and NZ, has that famous win in Hong Kong in the Mile.

AG will define her career sprinting for mine. If she doesn't sprint she'll be regarded as a bubble wrap champ.

[Trent Masenhelder @tmase04]

📰 Pride Of Jenni will not head to Perth for the G1 Northerly Stakes at Ascot on December 5. The multiple G1-winning mare has recovered from her setback (cellulitis), but she’s missed a fair amount of work, so they’ll put her away and give her a break ahead of an autumn campaign.

[Trav Noonan @TravTurf]

@TrentC_Racing @FlemingtonVRC @NickoNoonan @Racing @RSN927 @1116sen I'll look into that.

Pretty sure that's a Spotify thing having dealt with other shows in post production.
When posting the Podcasts, don't add the ad breaks in done automatically I think.

Will enquire though to see if can be changed.
