    Best of luck, as my missus always says "the horse doesn't know he's drifting does he"

    Funny thing is....I agree with your Mrs' philosophy!
    horses can, and do drift....and win.
    Read a book a while back, and the bloke reckons if your fancy drifts....double up!!!! Could be right!!!

    The more I look at this shrimpton...the more I like it! Wasn't she an actress? Jean?

    FFS....She's only been gone a few hours and the old "three for a bobn" is gettin restless!!!<badger>

    i know a few people connected to the ian woods yard and know that she is in good form and should go well. heard this not to long ago. is a hard race though. the drift must just be down to the money for others, including a hugh taylor tip.

    the yard is quite small, not many people involved in it so if one of theirs is gambled its most probably not down to the yards money.

    Do you think that could end up getting supplemented for something en route PN. After all the stable's star 3yo's have looked moderate at best this year!

    She may do. I didnt see the race, followed the RP ticker instead, but it sounds like she did it pretty smartly. You're right though, they're having a very quiet year so far. They've got the Monsun filly out of Kazzia that is expected to be added to the Oaks, KAILANI.
