    My personal view, and that's all it is, is that the Triple Joker tends to distort the comps.

    I'd be happy if we got rid of it.

    I would agree, but hats off to PJ for trying innovative ideas to spice up the comp, remembering it involves another layer of computation to an already time consuming exercise. Im sure he will make a ruling in due course for future comps .👍

    Jolimont will need more than David Butcher to get him past that lo

    Maybe, maybe not. He is the least tried of that 3, albeit by a small margin, but ended up in some strong fields very early on and acquitted himself well with limited experience. He is on the improve, dramatically  . Some horses come to it a bit slower than others, and he wasn't that far short of the best last year. Im The Mighty Quinn ran just behind some very good horses when he was a 2 and 3yr old and won 6 races from about 24 starts without setting the world on fire, and then went Boom. Maybe biased a bit.

    A nice horse. Globe educated his mate about Sweet Lou. Globe had value figured out.

    Speaking of Jolimont, when one considers his time over 2200 winning in 2.38 and change without trying, and compare that with Don't Stop Dreaming,s time of 2.42, both on fast tracks he looks a very good horse in the making.

    Not sure what you mean re hasnt covered as many mares this time in. H

    My bad Karrots, I think I was referencing the two previous years. And yes it is very heartening to see him realising the potential. Dropping winners all over the place,  his winners to starters is fractionally over 50% and interestingly after looking up stats Sweet Lou,s are winning once every 6 races for starters.

    Hope Grimson doest come with a donkey.

    The feeling is mutual there. Something doesn't smell right with that barn.

    And your old mate Self Assured is always an Auckland Cup hog too lol.

    They are taking him along quietly, they didn't rush him out and only pulled the plugs halfway down the straight. A live chance this old warhorse, and could get reasonable odds again. And I will be honest I have doubts about Sooner The Bettor running the extreme distance. He is quick over the shorter distances but has never won past 2200.

    If you were a JOLIMONT owner  (there's 5 persons in total actually )

    Sorry to disappoint you LB, but I very much doubt Tommy would ever do that. Arna picked the horse out for them in the first place.

    could work out that COLD CHISEL was a huge chance in the Group 1 Great Northern Derby

    He was a dead cert from that draw LB with his ability. I prefer to leave Harness out of this continuing conversation, finding value  imho is many fold more difficult with so many variables in a Harness race, even allowing for barrier positions.

    Princess Kate

    Never have been a fan of the Royals , but I really feel for her husband . He lost his Mother in brutal circumstances now the prospect of losing his wife (potentially). I hope the media have enough integrity leave them alone and let them deal with what is ahead .

    warriors should have put that game against the raiders to bed in the 1st half.

    Yeah, not the complete package yet, but encouraging signs. Ziggy will be happy.
