Is there a pre post market available for the Magic Millions?. Surely a Perth based bookie must have one available?. We are only a week and a half out . Must be early odds somewhere?.

Umm Saturdays field is there to be seen. Unless a trainer wants to run next wednsday then back up, whats to be seen??. No doubt a good bookie could throw out a market early?. I can get Melbourne Cup pre post odds 6 months before they jump. Sorry never realised the Magic Millions in WA was so far above the rest of Australia. No doubt PR think it stops a nation =)) =)) =))

I do think however, if you want to pinch one that this year is probably a good year to do so which is what I suspect many have done judging by the way they have qualified/gone about getting to the big day.

you have been so secretive about your "hidden horse"...which we can all guess who it is & expect PUNTA or their colleagues to give u a price.
mate, you are in la la land and probably puffing on a funny cigarette....

sorry, focus was a bit self centered..
Reckon it would be the GF for the majority of them. As you said initially about the nice one or ones at trial today, most of the best are still on the way to the track..Don't know how anyone would expect the best to be out and about in the first dozen races of the season.. The ones that are running at the moment, are the ones that can. And the best of them are collecting a few dollars for the next prep.
It would be interesting to see how many plate winners, gimcrack/supremacy winners etc win in their first prep v 2nd prep where they race before the new year and spell and come back with more experience, and after going shinny etc...that is something easy enough to look at if you have time on your hands but wonder if it points to the 2nd prepers over time which would make sense to me...
I suppose you are working with such a small pool of those before the New Year that you couldn't deduct anything concrete from those numbers, but still it makes sense it would be beneficial...
The small pool makes it hard in trying to get a trend..and also what constitutes a spell?
Some that don't go shiny but a ran for a race and get prize money are sometimes only freshened up and then kept in light work and either bought back for the MM or for the next round of quality races...but don't actually get a full break in the interim..
Others are given a break and bought back in the 'hope' that they are better... It is such a tough area.. To have personally failed in getting them to the track so often, I really think the early runners is a lot of luck...so if they can run, you put them out there no matter when it is.. And I don't think it matters too much if it is the MM, the KP or a normal Saturday race... And at the slightest bit of a problem, put them away until they are late 2 or early 3yr old for the easy end of Belmont races.
But I still think the best 2yr olds are aimed at the races 4 weeks from now, as there is 2 or 3 nice races to win grouped together...and that is whether they ran before Xmas or haven't ran yet.. As you know Occy, some trainers can do as much work on their farms as a horse would do on the track, and then they can bring them to the track at this time of the year knowing that they have something. Rather than hoping.
