Blind Squirrel Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Watching the replay Leith was talking to the riders of Savy Yong Blanc and The Good Fight before all three pulled up (the first three to do it_ - Coincidence they then ran 1, 2 and 3??

PWJ Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Out of interest a horse I bred myself and sold for $75k runs in the 5th at Sha Tin soon. Joyful Heart has the services of Zac Purton and is current favourite. He has some ability but generally is the star of the stewards report. Hopefully he can do the job today with cheek pieces going on. Has trouble focusing sometimes....like his breeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Overall Points Wandering's 4th placed effort today sees him wrest the overall comp lead from Howie who had a modest day on his home track. Another solid performance from brother Geoff sees him maintain 3rd and close the gap to little bro. Tom's big haul from his successful Joker play sees him rocket up 20 places to 4th ahead of a tight-knit group comprising PJ, Hesi (made good ground today), Graeme and Ian. Blind Squirrel fell from 5th to 13th showing how an off day can really hurt you in this comp. See you all again tomorrow at tricky Tauranga plus one from Geelong. Just 3 days left to go. Who will reign supreme ? 181 Wandering* 166 Howie* 144 Geoff 133 Tom* 128 PJ 127 Hesi* 127 Graeme* 124 Ian 118 Robert* 117 Sharne 117 Plovdiv* 117 The Crucible* 114 Blind Squirrel 112 Porky 112 Midnight C* 112 Steve P* 111 Punter Pete* 111 Maurice 106 Rocky 103 Gordy 98 Pete* 98 Ashoka 97 Craig 96 Max 92 Stevie N* 89 Rex 87 John* 78 Ray* 46 Gee* 42 Virgil 41 Rees* 33 Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
