Well, our Gold Club horse and I had plenty on it, raced closer to the pace than I would have liked and although he skipped away in the straight, was a sitting shot and lost by a neck. A neck away from $20k. Bugga! It happens. That’s the problem when you go for just one horse. Ironically it was a winning C Plan race as the winner was our 2nd rated horse and favourite. And Saturday our C Plan and Favourite Plans all fell in a huge hole. The SMS service had a good winning day yesterday and is maintaining a good profit. Two meetings today and that includes Grafton where we always seem to snag something special.

Good Afternoon Garry, just a bit of a query on the daily feature race on sunday 19/02/17, launcestion race 7, the horses in order were 7 must be mink 9 Olivia’s gold 14 life on the wire 10 stella etoile 4 lyuba yet on the sunday ratings page the horses listed for race 7 were 3 kiss me ketut 9 Olivia’s gold 7 must be mink 10 stella etoile 12 trot on candy.The same thing happened on Monday 13/02/17 in the daily feature race at Randwick race 7 where winx was rate on top but in the Monday ratings winx was rated at either 6 or 7.Also on Saturday 11/02/17 the weekend feature race , Caulfield race seven the daily mail page had in order 6 arod 4 malaguerra 8 equador 1 blackheart bart 3 lucky hustler and the Saturday ratings page it sowed Caulfield race 7 4 malaguerra 8 equador 6 arod 3 lucky hustler 7 palantino. All these ratings were after final scratchings and track grades were completed.I was just wondering why there were discrepancies in the selections.

Hi Rob, The differences were after taking into account Kiss Me Ketuts dislike of rain affected tracks. Tony, who did the Daily Feature Sunday took this into account when reevaluating the race. On this occasion he hadn’t anticipated a trcak upgrade, however our overall ratings had been assessed without applying penalties. The same thing happens in reverse when we have made other assessments its just that this one was more noticeable because of the big price of Kiss Me Katut which had been racing inconsistently.
