[magic_idol]

Well as we Know the big races are just around the corner, Who will Win the Big 3 Caulfield Cup,Cox Plate & of course the Major
Melbourne Cup!!!!.
Shootout is apparently the Dead Cert for the Cox plate but alot can change before then.
Can't wait to see what new Hero's emerge from the pack

[_ed_]

Look out for Katie Lee. They had been talking about the Cox Plate, but I don't think she'll get the 2040m, so I'm happy that they've changed their minds and they're going to go for the fillies and mares races.

I really think she's the best horse we've sent over there since Sunline.

I will Def Black Book her mate & Hopefully make some

Toorak Toff must be hard to beat in the Golden Rose. His last start win was huge.

Didn't like Crystal Lily's first-up run, but she could improve a lot on that.

Also, just as an aside, we had a full brother to Hay List born on the farm this morning. A big colt (taking after his brother) with plenty of quality. Early days, but he looks like a good foal.
