Lightning Blue

Some great racing at Bendigo last night. The 2 greats of Amazing Dream and King of Swing driven aggressively and dipping out on this occasion. 3rd and 4th.

Triple Eight nearly doing the job for the kiwis but unlucky in the barrier draw as well . A very good 2nd in the big race the Vic Cup.

Emma Stewart proving to be a fantastic trainer taking both the Group 1 Derby and Oaks (trifecta in that one) and the trifecta in 100k 2 year old fillies feature too. 

narrow 2nd in the 2 year old boys only just stopped the 'Age-group' Clean sweep on the program. Supreme training performance.

Welcome to the site 🤣

Thank you Happy Sunrise ! A great time of year to enjoy the harness racing with the NZ Cup and FFA on soon. Lightning Blue is a NZ Cup winner too (same year as that Interdom win) and just missed in FFA , have a brilliant pic to show you of that later on. 

So should do well this year picking the next winner 2021 version, all going well . Neat you have started Cup thread already. Karrots will be impressed.

Lightning blue broke my heart winning the interdom at Addington..an Aussie trifecta was a dagger to my heart. I still haven't recovered.

There's been No time to mend either for you Happy .. Since Lightning Blue took that Interdominion there have been 2 more Interdom's at Addington.

1995 Grand final win to Golden Reign (Chris Alford) from Victoria ,

and 2003 Grand Final Quinella to Aussie with Baltic Eagle (Prentice from WA) and Mont Denver Gold (Alford ) Vic 

Three in a row at Addington . last kiwi win in Chch was RONDEL and Wolfie more than 40 years ago in 1979. Hope the Dagger is not still around?

Blue Chip Delight in race 2 however is one of my old favourites,

A great tough win at good double figure odds. Great selection there Rusty . What a real tryer that horse is.

We can't both win Lightning, as we have different picks in all 4 of the races

That is the idea , a head to head challenge.

We both can win with the Quinella anyway. I took 4 x $5.00 quinellas on our selections in those 4 races with some Probabeel Winnings. 

That way if you do 'Pip me at the post ' in those feature races tonight , I'm still a chance to get a collect on 2nd. 

Bring it home Amazing Dream girl . follow in the Probabeel footsteps for the day. Lightning strikes twice !!!
