Warwick Farm Race 1: Quarterback $2.2
Yes I know everyone has found this horse, however his form reads super. 3rd to Affari and Barracks who have been competitive in group class. Jmac sticks, had a deadset barrier trial last start, looks hard to hold out.
Australia’s best horse, Autumn Glow ran to a WFA rating of 104.7 (Form King) in Saturday’s Champions Mile.
She also did it with a post-race veterinary excuse, pulling up lame with signs of bruising in her left fore hoof. Star ⭐️
🏆 Eight Group 1 winners at the Flemington carnival. The highest rating came from a horse having just his sixth start.
Here’s how the winners ranked on WFA Performance Ratings ⏱️⚖️📊 👇
1️⃣ Point Of Law (107.0) | Melbourne Cup
After a long chase in a fast run 3200m, he still ran his final 200m +5.9L faster than the TopRate standard. Only two Cup winners in the past decade have rated higher when normalised to WFA. Exciting for the future!
2️⃣ Autumn Glow (105.5) | Champions Mile
Lindermann turned the mile into an 800m sprint. This was not her best but she ran the best final 800m of her career to reel him in and make it 15 wins from 16 starts.
3️⃣ Lady Shenandoah (104.8) | Empire Rose Stakes
A new career peak, up from 103.2, in a race that was fast both overall and sectionally. A big ✅ campaigning her at this trip.
4️⃣ Birdman (104.0) | Champions Stakes
He turned the tables on Cosmic Crusader despite being 11.6L off the lead at the 800m in a race run at a much softer early pace than the Cox Plate.
5️⃣ The Next Episode (102.0) | Coolmore Stud Stakes
He edged St Gotthard and Mbube with all three colts running big new peaks. His winning figure was 3 rating points below the 10 year average for this race. Softer on the clock, with more compressed margins than we typically see.
6️⃣ Point Barrow (101.0) | Champions Sprint
She backed up her 100 rated Group 3 win at Caulfield earlier this prep with another new peak at Group 1 level. A strange race with Tempted (106.5 last start) and Joliestar (105 last start) looming into it as expected and then doing nothing after that. Surely in the slower aerated lanes? It's has been two years since Joliestar rated similarly low, and 18 months for Tempted (back to her 2YO days).
7️⃣ Stormy Marco (97.5) | Victoria Derby
He ran on stylishly off a genuine speed to win by 2L, improving from a previous best of 94.3. A low rating edition, similar to Manzoice 97.8 in 2022. Johnny Get Angry the only one lower in the last 10 years at 94.5.
8️⃣ Proxima Dea (97.0*) | Crown Oaks
Six starts, six wins, all in her first prep! There wasn't much to like on the clock, but she sat wide the trip, which subjectively adds extra merit (call it a 99 rating).
