It looks like Dubbo will finally get their Cup meeting underway on a Heavy 10 today. I’m not sure how they managed to keepall the horses,trainers and jockeys available but there you are. Echucha is a Heavy 10 too while Wagga is abndoned (again) Rockhampton is Good 4. Really we are all capable of taking a break given the circumstances. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. Certainly we can look to the weekend for more Group Racing as markets develop . As a curiosity I looked back at the predictions of so many “experts” who reviewed the form for last year’s Cup. All ofthem failures EXCEPT Winform as usual as we found the $101 winner. Can we do it again? I ask myself every year the same question and we continue to do it because amazingly, the times horses run are still the main determinent in which horses win and the one factor that has changed is how horses are trained these days. That’s the hard factor to sort out.
