From tonymoffat at bigpond.com Sat Oct 6 15:00:45 2018 From: tonymoffat at bigpond.com (Tony Moffat) Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2018 13:00:45 +0800 Subject: [AusRace] The Kalgoorlie Cup Message-ID: <000001d45d31$8b01d200$a1057600$@bigpond.com> The Turnbull today. If we concede that Winx will place in this, and that will be the win, then is there any value amongst the also rans? The sums about Trap For Fools are mostly positive and he is $6.50 to place (and better elsewhere) so I took that. It's close to start time so we will wait and see. Cheers Tony The Kalgoorlie Cup Is running again tomorrow 06/10/2018. The runner numbers are down this year and without a lot of early investigation it might be decided between the 1 or 2 or 3 - which doesn't help at all much. I have been to several 'racing rounds' as the Goldfields carnival is sub dubbed and I dare say it rivals the gangsterism and debauchery you find over east, think some of the carnivals on the Murray and especially those on the north coast. All fun though, especially if you are sober and the majority are not so. The first occasion, for me, was 1977, and that by default. I had been out to Eucla on my motorbike to meet family there, it was miles of dirt road then, some of it side tracks to the new road being built. I got back to civilisation, almost, between Norseman and Widgie when I got a rear wheel wobble. A spoke had broken away from the hub and caused a crack and each revolution made the bike shimmer some. The work around was to remove the wheel, and the brake shoes, drum brakes of course Saintly, and run slow like that. So it was several hours of third gear up through Kambalda, which had/has no services and onto to Kalgoorlie which was in carnival mode, a la racing round. The Hannans Handicap had been run the day before and there was a mini exodus out to some bush track somewhere for more racing and two up. I shopped the bike around the place, looking for parts, a fix or a work around but no fix or remedy was available. Anyways, there were no parts, and no likelihood of parts for a few days, or after the week end at least and I decided I would be rescued. I had a Dodge ute, with one of those slant six motors, in Perth, and a cousin, Pet, had her p plates, within the last week it seemed so she would drive up the 7 or so hours and then we would load the TS400 and together get back to the Suzuki dealer. I had minimal camping gear, enough though, money and a cheque book and I found a place to park out beyond a golf course at Boulder, with a service station (a toilet it should read) within sight and ants. I heard the races, the course announcer first, then when I walked closer I saw the horses running and heard their hooves, saw their rumps and the dust cloud. I went to the races, Kalgoorlie Cup Day 1977, and had a feed, some drink, a look round, and a few tote bets. It was busy. Lord Wood (although I first typed Lord Forrest) won the cup and no I didn't pick it but I got a place or three in some of the races. I had agreed to meet Pet (and co.) at the start of the main street, Hannan Street, and when I did move to go there the rear hub crumpled up completely. So I walked a distance, somehow carrying the bike with a star picket jammed into the rearwheel, then into the swingarm, as a lever while progressing nowhere quickly. I did make it in to Boulder shopping centre and parked the bike and went to the meeting place. Pet was there already and it was a simple matter of returning to the bike and loading and securing that on the back. Pet had brought friends along, two others, so three on a bench seat, four with me, and high, wide and not handsome. We left Kal later that night, after Pet was shown where first gear was, she had been starting in second, those three in the front, me in the back with the bike, under the cover, in my swag, such as it was, and I recall, or don't, that I slept most of the way home. That Suzuki TS400 still lives, elsewhere though, and presently in three pieces, and I got a TM400 Cyclone motor for it, when horsepower, and noise, was a pre-requisite. My new bike was a GL1000, a Goldwing, and I sold that, and the ute, and put a deposit on a house in a few years ahead. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com From lloveday at ozemail.com.au Sat Oct 13 14:00:40 2018 From: lloveday at ozemail.com.au (L.B.Loveday) Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2018 14:00:40 +1100 Subject: [AusRace] Everest, courtesy of Gerard Henderson Message-ID: <006801d462a0$edfb3620$c9f1a260$@ozemail.com.au> On Saturday, Fairfax Media commenced its campaign against the decision of the NSW Coalition government - supported by the NSW Labor opposition - to allow the Sydney Opera House to promote The Everest horse race at Royal Randwick Racecourse by means of a light projection. On Page One of the Saturday SMH, the world heritage listed building was even referred to as the "Sacred Opera House". How strange, then, that "Spectrum" in last Saturday's Age carried a prominent advertisement for how to order from Fairfax Photos - under the heading "Bring the Story Home". And what particular pic - from Fairfax Photos dating back to early 1900s - did Fairfax Media managers choose? Well, the photo of the "NO WAR" sign painted (not projected) on the Sydney Opera House to protest about Australia's commitment to the Coalition of the Willing which invaded Iraq in 2003. So according to Fairfax Media's Saturday newspaper in Sydney, it's wrong to project lights on the Sacred Opera House for around ten minutes on one night of the year. However, according to Fairfax Media's Saturday newspaper in Melbourne, the crime committed by those who painted the illegal graffiti "NO WAR" on the Opera House in 2003 is part of Australia's "Story" as recorded by Fairfax Photos - and well worth buying, framing and placing on the wall. This suggests that it's a "Story" when the Green Left activists damage the Opera house with difficult to remove paint when demonstrating against John Howard's government. But it's a desecration when a Racing NSW promotion is (legally) beamed on the Opera House for a few minutes once a year. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Highland Reel has improved considerably since Winx beat him - remember First Seal beating Winx 5-zip when Winx was young? Do you judge Winx by those defeats or by the great improvement she has made since? Further, Highland Reel carried 3kg more than Winx - about the most time-honoured adage in racing is "Weigh will stop a train", and because of the, on average, inherent inferiority of thoroughbred mares in racing, the mare Winx, racing in WFA races, receives a weight advantage over the male horses she opposes. Weight stopped Phar Lap, and enough weight would stop Winx, but we'll never know how much would be needed. So, we don't know whether Winx is truly a "super horse" or "just" a "super mare", the later undoubtedly she is, the former we will never know, as she's not raced on a level playing field since way back in the days that Fine Seal beat her 5 out of 5. Last year, between 19/8 and 16/9, Winx won 3 races at Randwick, by between 0.2 and 1.25 lengths, in each case placegetters carried 2kg more, and many race handicappers will say that, on average, they would have expected the results to be reversed were the playing field equal, but again we will never know. In the Cox Plate, the placegetters carried 2kg more than Winx. Would it have mattered had they raced on even terms? Again we will never know. But what we surely do know is that Winx races with an advantage when she opposes male horses, and so she is a "super mare", but "super horse"? We don't and will never know. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
