They showed some footage on the telly of Slade Power practicing going into the barriers the other day. He is a mad bastard. Goes right off. So much so that Wayne Hawkes the trainer of Chautauqua who is drawn in the stall next to Slade Power asked that they put him one stall further out to avoid risking injury if the Irish horse goes berserk. The stewards told him to fuck off as well.


IMHO they should let him go in last. He has come a long way to race and it won't affect the other starters.


But I don't make the rules.

Tinpot shite racing

Really?? Show me a race in the UK or Ireland that comes anywhere near the prize money of the Melbourne Cup, Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Golden Slipper etc


In fact an even better indication is the prize money for a standard Saturday race in Sydney or Melbourne. Minimum $85K per race.


All paid for by silly mug punters who will never learn.
