horsebuck$ roundup 11th march 2017
We said it would be a super tough day and it was, OUR BEST BETS performed very well . Tulip($4.80) our best at Rosehill won like she was the best horse in the race, she moved into it at the distance and powered away, she is not out of her depth in the Slipper. Forbidden Kisses($3.80) ran second but in all honesty she should have won, held up badly behind La Dolce Vita, by the time she was in the clear the race was over but she hit the line with great gusto to go down by a long neck. Feng Chu($21) our best longshot as we said chased hard all the way up the straight to finish third($4.10) a very good run for a maiden in a Group 2. Stratum Star($11) ran his heart out in the Australian Cup for fourth had a beautiful run behind the speed moved into the race at the 200m just found a few better on the day. The Newmarket, they dawdled for the first 600m, we thought Sheidel would zoom out and make it a fast sprint that was not the case, so the backmarkers really had no chance Terravista our best eachway one of these, but that’s racing. We had 12 winners in our top four selections 6 on top Doomben race three Pinch River($1.80), Rosehill race 4 Tulip($4.50), Foxplay($1.80), It’s Somewhat(10.80), Hogmonay($4) & Flemington I Am A Star($2) plus Aloft($9), Sircconi($11), Rocket Tommy($3.80), morendi($2.40), Sheiswhatsheis($2.90) & Siegfried($4).
