2023 Antepost Flat Racing

Isaacs Shelby at 4/1 for the Daniel Wildstein looks a cracking price, especially as he's been pulled out of the foret
 
Maljoom back tomorrow. Hard to know what to expect after 15 months or so off track. But I was expecting him to be one of the top milers around. See he opened at 4/1 and has been steadily backed as well so hopefully a good sign and we get to see a bit more of him .
 
Nicely done by amelias jewel there, broke track record without getting out of 2nd gear I've doubled her with some shorties for cheltenham as she's still 10s for the cox plate on sky

Happy to take him on with chindit

Newmarket doesn't tend to suit hold up horses and he has an enormous lay off

Plus that st James Palace was a funny race and hasn't worked out well

Yea, don't really blame you.

I won't be having a bet but glad to see him back and will be hoping he wins. Reckon he should've won that SJP easily to be honest.

It looked that way

But I'm always dubious about horses running on late when the other horses are already slowing down

Be interesting to see how he does

Could just blow them away

I was watching to see how she handled the track and she puts up a performance like that!

We'll still have to wait where her next two races will be as it looks like they're going to make an announcement on Sunday.

Don't know if anyone else on here was on the equally impressive Imperatritz, winning the Moir stakes, beating her own track record to win her fourth G1 this year.
All being well her next races should be the Manikato Stakes then a possible mouthwatering clash with IWIW in the Champions Sprint.

Sounds like they'll avoid Romantic Warrior over unknown territory then which is understandable

They're not giving much away are they, can't blame them.

They'll go to the Toorak...as long as they don't get too much weight then they'll keep an eye on the internationals.
The Golden Eagle is worth a lot of money and an easier race on paper but the Cox Plate has the prestige.

The monster Romantic Warrior runs next week Lobos.

Yes, I read a bit about him yesterday. They won't allow his normal feed in Australia and they had to switch to another feed which he wasn't eating up and they were very concerned . Since arriving in Australia they've now made up a substitute which is as close to his original feed as possible and he's now on that. Hopefully it agrees with him.

Food can be a bit of a worry, he had a gallop this morning.

Thanks for posting PM… cashed out Cox Plate bets for stake back and will re back if she goes for it but looking like the lure of the “easier” prize money will hold sway. Also no Giga Kick in the Eagle now which may have had a bearing.

A 10 Million dollar race can't be taken lightly

I’m liking that PM… think she’ll take the world of beating in the Eagle

On the Friday night it's Breeders' Cup and the Golden Eagle on the Saturday morning so I've doubled up Opera Singer with Amelia's Jewel @ 12/1 and Legarto @ 17/1
