Wow, what a coup at easter'n'all !

Where are those of little faith now?

He buys the horse, creates the race, increases the prizemoney AND wins it!

(great training effort too)

Might have to start calling him sheikh John.

Media madness

I'm coming off a long layoff but tuned in to TVN and Channel seven a couple of times in the Spring.

Saw Caroline dressed like Pixie-Anne Wheatley on TVN.

And was that Franchesca almost getting her pretty head kicked off while walking alongside a horse at Flemington on Satdy? She actually reached out to touch it's bum!

Love live coverage.

I can't see him losing the CP and will be backing him in the cup too.

Good luck all.

Let jocks. bet!

The betting agencies could publish 'jockbets' just as the ASX publishes director trades.

Some would continue to get rides.
Others would not because they'd soon learn you can't do both well.

So the problem would sort itself out and free up valuable time for stewards.

Scary

Gday all

HTF are they going to find out if someone's 'muscle doping' a horse or a greyhound?

Racing-

Glass harmonium jumps straight to the lead.

Helmet moves up out wide towards the lead but Olly wants it and holds the rail.
Avienus tries to work in with Wall Street handy.

Lion Tamer working across also. Then kings rose on the fence.

A length back to Sincero ,Jimmy Coux outside him in a good spot.
Rekindled interest back on the fence then Pinker Pinker

Back on the inside is Secret Admirer A break to Shamrocker, Playing God and Efficient out the back.

Glass harmomium takes them round the back with Helmet 3/4 away on his outside. Kings Rose in a lovely position inside Lion Tamer. Sincero follows with Avienus outside him Rekindled Interest has ended up midfield inside Jimmy Choux.

Pinker Pinker around Secret Admirer then Shamrocker and Playing God together and Efficient last.

A thousand to go and Olly lets Glass harmonium roll along and the pace is on!
Now 2 lengths to Helmet. Kings Rose inside Lion Tamer. Sincero in behind them, inside Avienus.
Then back to Jimmy Choux around Wall street.
Rekindled Interest just worse than mid-field then Pinker pinker on his outside. Secret Admirer back in the ruck inside Playing God
Shamrocker tacks on and Efficient last.

Here comes the business and Lion Tamer goes up three wide to join Glass Harmonium at the 600. Helmet is immediately under pressure. (Big call I know)
Jimmy Choux comes into it nicely.

Kings Rose nowhere to go and and Avienus trying her heart out.
Pinker Pinker works into it with Sincero.

But they're all under hard riding as Rekindled Interest is off the fence and stalking. He switches around Jimmy Choux, Playing god's gone.
Secret Admirer looking for a run and Efficient will have to scout very wide as they bunch.

Jimmy Choux grabs Lion Tamer and Glass Harmonium who kick back but Rekindled interest collars them in a stride and he broke clear! ...
Jimmy Choux tries to stick with him...
Here's old OLD EFFICIENT now putting in giant strides out wide!

Rekindled interest in front EFFICIENT LUNGES.......

PHOTO!

MAYBE THE OLD CHAMP GOT UP JUST IN TIME???

Two lengths to Jimmy Choux third then Lion Tamer, Glass Harmonium, Pinker Pinker. Shamrocker made up ground . Next was Avienus from Secret Admirer who never got into it and Sincero. Helmet tired from Kings Rose, Playing God and Wall Street last.

Pretty to watch

C. Williams in full flight.

Everyone kid who wants to be a jockey should study this bloke.

Doesn't try to overly punish horses
Plays by the rules

Keeps his horses momentum up by keeping his balance and keeping low in the saddle.

I could watch the caulfield cup ride over and over if it wasn't for the fact that backed Green Moon.

Thankgodimere
