Rayzor 190 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Both La Strata and Keen to Run ran in a mdn 1300m at Hawera on 10th October 2020. The winner of that race, Tellall went on to win his next 2 races. Vineyard McPhee and Harry Hewitt have also gone on to win. Indy Fox who finished 3rd in that race is lining up in race 6 today. cheers R 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PWJ 1,560 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Some close contests in the H-T-Hs. Just $7 separates Geoff and Hesi and only 60 cents the difference between VS and Richie !

TooFast 1,252 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The next race looks one of the more even 'go's of the day ..... and I'm wondering now if 'Ata Rangi' is about ready third-up to put it's foot in the till. I.m prepared now to say it is, with the Fixed Price $26 very tempting. Yeah ..why not ...I'll have a crack. 😁. Stablemate 'Celebre' has just won it's race, so I'm looking now for back-to-back success for the John Bell team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TooFast 1,252 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 6-Reliable Miss (even though it's favourite) is not a good result for me in the last, given that those immediately above and immediately below me are all on it. That's what happens when scores are so condensed. So I better sink a truckload on Reliable Miss to weigh her down a tad. 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
