Brilliant horse who beat one of the better line-up of sprinters from around the world
Can't nock the champion status of this horse now, Mr Obriens comments after the race were very intesting, seeing him so excited about a horse after the calibre of horse he has trained over the years
Bring on the July Cup!!
For me the two with the most upside would be starspangledbanner and so you think
thoughts?

One of the worst group one races i have seen in a while. i think only two have ever won a group one while two others have placed in a group one as 2 year olds. nothing more then a listed race group 3 at the best. Mr Baritone should be winning this, orange county has thbe bad barrier. masked assassin as my roughie
rostova, awesome win down the straight, great form out of that race, she isnt nominated for the slipper but looks to be in it up to her ears, 17/1 currently isnt too bad.
Starspangledbanner would be my first choice however i think the diamond will be his go and i dont like horses set for the blue diamond then comming up for the slipper. He's 51/1 so regardless ill have a little go.
the other horse i am very ken on is bawaardi, huge run behind starspangledbanner at the valley, bigger track 1200+ will be his go, 51/1 seems very appealing.
If he is as good as everyone says he should not have a problem winning this race.. nothing is a certainty in racing, but this is about as close as you get...
If he cant win this race fred should give up on his melbourne campaign and take him back to perth get him right so he can win the railway
Pompeii Ruler is a the next super star of racing, he has taken the next step and is in a leauge of his own, any wfa race is at his mercy from now on.
Marasco is a dead set star, i dont know what happened in his run, but we all saw how he finished off his race, with a nice spell and some more education he will be a force to be reckoned with in his next campaign
The most exciting thing about these two horses is that they are still only lightly raced and will provide us with some excitment over the years to come..
The 3 ladies of the turf, miss andretti, miss finland and gold edition all took a step to the next level today. Miss Finland is one of the best 2/3 yo fillies we have ever seen, she has backed up all her hype by preforming on the race track, unlike haradasun who today proved he is not the horse many ppl thought he was.
Miss andretti, well what can you say, she is a star, i dont think we will see a horse do what she has done for many years to come and i am greatfull to be around to see such a horse achieve the success she has, i hope the owners decide to keep her in the game for a few more years, she could build a record that would see her become one of the greatest sprinting mares of all time..
Gold edition showed that she is not just a classy 3y/o that beats her own age and sex easily, her run was huge stepping up in open class for the first time and she has plenty more wins under her belt..
As for El segundo, well he just isnt as good as we thought he was, he has struggled to take the step to the next level by winning big races and i think he has given up his opportunity, as it will only get harder for him here on..
My horse to follow would be vanquished, there is a good win in him very soon..
Many ppl are saying that we are lacking depth in our wfa ranks, none of the current bunch would have been competitive with our past superstars such as sunline, lohnro, northerly, the diva ect...
Whist i agree that we have no superstar at the present time, i believe that horses such as desert war, el segundo, marasco, eremein and gun 3yo efficient and miss finland would be too far off our last crop of stars.
Obviously none of these horses can be mentioned in the same breath as the sunlines and northerly's, there's nothing to say they are not as good as horses such as fairway or who beat sunline, or horses such as freemason and old comrade who beat northerly.. we weren't bagging those horses when they beat our superstars of the turf, and our current bunch would have been able to beat any of those horses on there day..
I think we are just missing that horse who is 2 or 3 % better then the rest. our current crop arent that bad and the constant posts saying they are rubbish i believe are unjust..
any thoughts??
