He is, and he's in the top 3 favourites with Villain and Kibbutz.

A good chance too, huge win in the AAMI Vase last start.

These time changes screw me up. It's midnight as i write this here.

We changed our clocks back an hour last weekend, America does them this weekend, Oz have gone forward.

How are the international fans meant to keep up.

Everyone should be on GMT time. It would make it much easier for ME...... screw the rest of ya

How spaced out are these races at Flemington today? It's ridiculous! 50 minutes between races 2 and 3 just then. The first race was 10:20 and the last is 5:15! That's a long day.

Anyway, thrilled by the win of Sculptor in the Saab just then. He's annoyingly inconsistent but really good at his best, and finally he showed his best in Australia. Great stuff.

Kibbutz
Littorio
Marching


I had a nice win wager on Swick in the Seppelt-Salinger. Excellent ride by Winks and a nice overlay at 11-1.

MASTER trainer Bart Cummings pulled off a big shock when his four-year-old gelding Sirmione won the L'Oreal Paris Mackinnon Stakes (2000m) at Flemington today

If you fill them full of water their last 3 starts before it is classed as a master stroke

That was an amazing result.

Proud of Princess Coup again though, stunning run for 2nd.

I hear it's raining in Melbourne today.

That will definitely help Sculptor, and remembering his win at Royal Ascot I'm guessing Mahler will handle it too.

Trainer Danny O'Brien today:
"Until they change the distance to 2000m, the VRC Derby isn't going to be a relevant form race for good horses going forward. It's too testing."

Well said sir.
