Bob Peters Exhibition

Extremely exciting to see some of Bob Peters' "A-Team" back on show in preparation for yet another assault on the Perth Summer Carnival. Perfect Reflection returns as a 4 year old mare after a tilt at a few Eastern States races after her 2015 Kingston Town victory over Delicacy. She carried only 50kg on that occasion and rises sharply in the weights for her first-up assignment to 57.5 which could make her vulnerable, however, she oozes class and I think she is definitely still the one to beat. Disposition looks very well weighted in this race carrying an identical weight to stablemate Perfect Reflection. He is yet another Peters galloper who is all class and a deserving second favourite. Neverland will attempt to see out the Peters/Williams trifecta, her record over 1400m, first-up and at Ascot are impecable and should give a genuine account. Lite 'N' In My Veins proved himself last start when winning over a seemingly unsuitable 1200m.

mostly from horses that led and weakened over shorter distances, and then stepped up in distance, and of course they normally lead again, but at a much more relaxed tempopeople are so good at misconstruing that.they tend to think if you weaken at shorter it's ...

Carey, Your comment above took me a long time to learn theoretically. And then it happened a few times with horses I owned. Obviously it is not a rule but I reckon you are spot on.One of the biggest misconceptions in horse racing.

when i cared, there were numerous factors to do with pace and positioning.but basically handy is best at any track over any distance, in any type of race.statistics prove it is so.which is why i reckon pike's record would be better if he was allowed to ride th...

Ok. thanks for responding. I tend to only want to back the fillies and colts at WFA or middle distances when they go forward. I heard Craig Williams saying this morning that he expected Yankee Rose to go back in the CP because when she went forward she failed ...

i have no idea what it would have done on the dry.i didn't think it could win before the race, and the fact that it ended up heavy means that i may have been right in the dry, but we will never know.delicay might not have done as well either.it was only an 180...

@Carey Do you think Perfect Reflection would have beaten Delicacy home on a dry track if they were in the same position as they were on that track? The intention was always to go back before the rain arrived on race day.

and in that race(KT) the pace was massive, where leaders had buckleys and none.how much did you win on that rodent? I tend to think tempo is less important when the track is in the heavy range-it becomes more about finding the better ground and building mom...

Never known a horse like Flytego.As soon as he gets to Ascot he puts in.To the naked eye I thought he had run 2nd and was raging once they put the numbers up on Sky.Thankfully he got on the podium, just..
