Maybe it is different on track but compared to the Europeans, watching the Jewels is not providing the excitement that a Big Event should project

Shez All Rock wins - I cannot see how she is Australian

Wayne has signalled how good she is from day 1

I expect a report from Tony (TC) if he has gone - why isn't that grass slope in the home straight covered in people?

The All Stars won 6 of the 9.
I call that a 66% strike rate but it would only be a 28.5% strike rate as they had 21 runners

I imagine that the same is true for the premiership table which shows they have won 108 of 337 before today which is only (LOL) 32%
I imagine there would be a fair few races where they have multiple runners which makes me think their 'real strike rate' is probably over 50%

What is with the use of Lengths for margins. Unless there is a precise distance allocated for 'a length' it seems pretty inaccurate/crude for this day and age and even then metres would have to be better as that is what they race over

Hunter Valley 2YO "Petes Big Jim" ran huge...very nearly got there right on the line.
