@RhysWest10 @Racing_Previews @joshyshields I think there be too much cannibalism between the 3 races being the 1600, 2000 & 2400, that would be the main thing. Fields already aren’t that big yesterday. Needs to have its own stand alone setting. So has to be after QE in autumn I think is best. More space for it in autumn

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@Racing_Previews Having it after the QE might work. Then QE horse up to 2400m natural progression plus the Sydney cup Horses could come back to the 2400m as well. You might get a really big field. Ranvet needs to be 2 weeks before the Tancred instead of 1 week to allow more horses to go to both

@tmase04 Thanks Trent! Loving the news snippets!
Spring Champion Stakes horses, are any coming from Melbourne, like Diameter/Central Europe?
Is Diameter going to a Derby?

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@tmase04 No worries Trent. I saw the expected field, cheers 👍

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@tmase04 Thanks Trent, any chance you know who is going to the Might & Power?
I know Sheza Alibi & Birdman are, any others?

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@SEN_track @Betfair_Aus @thaylock @PfitznerMiles Good on Moods/Fred taking the harder option, but yeh just many similar group 1’s in Syd/Melb at the same time. Don’t see it changing anytime soon.
Think Ranvet/Aus Cup
Randwick/Aus Guinness
Winx/Memsie
Plus there are others! All on within a week of each other

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@SEN_track @Betfair_Aus @thaylock @PfitznerMiles The simplest answer is there are just too many Gr 1 options. Sheza Alibi could/should have raced in the Memsie and most likely off yesterday’s performance would have won. So why run for 2nd when she could have easily had another Gr 1 next to her name.

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@deanwatling @tabcomau @betsy_com_au @racing_nsw Seems silly to go up to Sydney when there is perfectly good 1400m at home next week, that you have a better chance of winning.

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@deanwatling @tabcomau @betsy_com_au @racing_nsw I think TAB are taking a calculated risk that Sheza Alibi doesn’t accept come Wednesday. It’s All-in so you lose it all on SA unless she accepts. Which does anyone know the likelihood of SA accepting??

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@Gallop1ngGuru @SkyRacingAU @daveystan1 @bendorries76 Meaning what exactly? The sale won’t go through? Or they found something and will need to have an extended break? Or both or something else?

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@harro1102 The best sprinter most likely not even going! TEMPTED! Beat them all in Everest, haven’t seen any performance since to suggest she wouldn’t beat them all again! I think she is better than tentyris! She is an absolute beast at 1,200m

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@Racing_Previews I heard trainer say today Baraqiel could even not go to Newmarket. Go to Challenge Stakes Instead. So yeh we will see. Either way the whole noms thing and handicap weights needs a re-think.

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@Racing_Previews Further atleast it’s 57 and not 59 or so if those top weighted horses didn’t nominate. So it’s all good I reckon. As long as Freedman’s decide to run!!!

[Daniel @DanielPunter24]

@Racing_Previews Of course he has been nominated! When I have heard both Turnbull (Yesterday) & Maher (Today) say he is racing in the Galaxy!

There needs to be more questioning by the stewards when these things happen! Just total bullshit! Needs to be more protection for the punters!
