R9. Get The Tabtouch Handicap - 1 January 1970

Screaming out for this trip
Hoping that in a very familiar role W.Pike can carry punters home in the last at Ascot. O'Reilly's Crumpet looks as though he has been screaming out for 2100m for atleast two or three runs. His effort on Melbourne Cup day when mowing turf late behind subsequent Group 2 WA Guineas winner Variation was huge and then was never a winning chance at Northam when he got a mile out of his ground. With Pike going back into the saddle he should find a spot midfield with cover and then unleash late. Big Red Costa broke through for win number 2 last start when connections advised stewards that the horse would be ridden rearward and he found the perfect spot one out and one back forth up on the speed. Hard luck for bookies for laid him expecting to see him go back on a leader bias track but that's racing. Big Red Costa looks as though he will go FORWARD this time and should lead the field or sit perfectly in behind them. A big strong striding galloper who has always looked like a 2100m proposition. Magic Rocket will have to drag back from an awkward gate and must lump a full 59.5kg which severely dents his winning chances, however, form around The Forgotten One and Saxon Saxoff is better than most of his rivals. Flying Force is a forgotten galloper and one I will be punting and including in my quaddie.

Not one horse from the first six in running broke 35sec for the last 600m but those coming from the back did. The first two didn't stop but those that did caused traffic issues for the swoopers and that is the price you pay for getting back. Yes any of the clo...

ridden better (i.e - given some small glimmer of hope at least) and it figures in the finish IMHO.Maybe there is excuses :-?? , however it had no real chance of winning from where he parked it.Horse got home quicker than anything else

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I tend to think that running State Solicitor in the Gr 1 was 12 months too early. In doing so, I hope that Bob Peters hasn't flattened him to the point where he just makes up numbers in high quality fields in the next couple of years.

Didn't help any of FAE, Rock Magic or State Solicitor having to get around Bob's 2 100/1 pops who were just clogging up the field. Bob might have harmed his own chances on this occasion. Thinking exactly the same when watching the replays. Maybe they got all...

Agree. The 3 locals finishing on were all big. To me the race seemed much like the Railway - the visiting jocks going forward and controlling it - the local riders never really in it. The last 2 weeks have really shown up the gap between the ES and overseas r...
