 Re: League Weekly reaction
I'm doing something out of total character and running Allegreto in the Sydney Cup with a rating of 140. Mission Impossible.
Congrats to Matt for his first Group1 and to all the other winners this week and another fantastic week of commentaries. Well done Boys.

 Re: League Weekly reaction
A poor day today with nothing at all helping to pay the the wages and also suffering again at the hands of the racekit in a long distance race. I have had one horse affected 4 times now!!! Congrats to all winners and all the team involved. Only one more week  but at least I then head straight off on holiday so that I can try to get it all out of my system

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Got some nice checks this week on the flat including a 2nd in the Breeders Cup Juvenile fillies - no wins though. I noticed the horses at the Kentucky track have no qualms about going 5-6 wide around the whole track. I think the way points need to be adjusted at the Kentucky track. Many of my horses lost huge amounts of ground running wide around the whole track while never making any effort to save ground. Very frustrating. On the jumps side I scored an unexpected Grade 1 win. It was an authoritative win too. Also frustrating is the amount of horses who pull up whilst running perfectly fine. The pull up issue needs to be addressed IMO - way too many pull ups. Thanks PJ for noticing my Grade 1 victory.  Congrats to Follis on his win tear this week. Congrats to 17days on his first Grade 1.

No big runs for me today.
However, in Race 9 Somalia got almost stopped by a pulled up runner. He was back at optimum trip and had a great chance. Gutted

 Re: League Weekly reaction
Pretty good day, another winner on the flat plus a couple of placings, low grade handicaps as normal. Nothing over jumps but didn't have many runners today and wasn't expecting anything. 2 more days and back to reality  .
