Forumites,

I've never really been a fan but would love to know what everyones opinion on Mr Nikolic's riding in general is.

Watched him fairly closely this spring as he seemed to be on quite a few I was keen on and personally I will be avoiding anything he puts his leg over in future. Hopefully he goes back to Sydney or Honkers.

Thought his ride on The Hussler was pathetic at best, which I was quite pleased about as I didn't think it could win anyway.

But lets not base it on one ride...your thoughts please?

Cheers
Bluboy

The Bens revealed this morning on Sport 927 that Oli will be the new jockey for Haradasun throughout the Spring and whatever International plans they have.

Apparently Nash is devestated as you would expect.

Looks like a new jockey for El Segundo and Kersely will have to look elsewhere for Marasco.

Cheers
Bluboy

Race 3 No 1 - Speedy Rossa

My usually reliable source tells me this horse will improve sharply today and run very well. Come up pretty short but expect to get on each way.

First time I've posted one of these so we'll see how we go.

Good luck all

Cheers

Did anyone see his ride on Navy Shaker today?
What the hell was he thinking not taking the rails run once they straightened??

The horse was bolting, the run came and he stayed behind the leader.....to top it off....the eventual winner took the run that he should have taken!

Interested in others comments who saw it.

Cheers

How good is this kid!!

I've backed a few of his lately and been watching him closely and he has not let me down once. His ride on Field Hunter on Saturday was just perfect. He rides as good as most senior jocks already.

Anyone know what his weight is like? How low can he ride at the moment?

Cheers

Hi all,

Interested to get people's reactions to the new website. I think it's quite good....lots of content perhaps a little busy, but overall an improvement.

Has anyone been able to get the video streaming working? Whenever I attempt to and it tries to deliver the license to my PC it either fails or says you must have a valid internet account with TAB NSW.

Obviously I do have an internet account but I am in VIC, just wondering if it is a problem across both states?

Thanks
Bluboy

I have a big opinion of this horse and am looking forward to seeing how he goes today. If he handles the slow track I think he wins.

Has been really impressive in his 3 wins so far and hasn't been pushed out yet. I think he has the potential to be one of Danny's best horses.
