Khan,
Want your Opinion of Salute the Wind?
Every time i see it run it should of won the race.
Does the Driver never try?
What you pay for it?
What State would b best for it.
My Mate backs it every start and said he has lost that much on it that he could buy it.
I said Why dont we.

You mean like this? I still cry every time I think of this race.
http://media.harness.org.au/vic/QYC05021308.wmv gunyh's comments sound spot on. Has a great sprint and would go to ffa class in the right stable. Would love to see how it handles Menangle. |

Llody it got beat a lip at $14. I would have won a new car.
I'd value it at $25k which may seem high but it's a good horse who has been looked after and there's a fair chance it could go a long way. El Paco is a big chance and should be thereabouts but the trainer driver on board has me wary. I won't be on. |

This race tonight looks at the mercy of whoever wants to win it.
Put a good driver on Salute to Wind and he works forward and wins for fun, but because Ron Gilligan is a trainer driver he doesn't know that. He'll drop out and have a sleep at the back while the leaders jog, and be a hundred to one. |

Got $7.50 Fixed odds Have Quads going Crazy If Composed wins the Cup im going to give up Punting as it cant last this long. |

Did you get to Wang Lloydy?
There was a massive crowd there. I'm sure there is a future for these once a year clubs with their 800m circuits. |

NA stayed in Albury
Seen the Crowd on TV Think have got to use from home now |

Go Mister Scorcher
Short but sweet when u own |

Good win Lloydy, well done to all concerned.
Seems the same as last prep: Great beginner, tough but no sprint, just a little less rough than he used to be and still a bit scary which is obviously why JJ didn't hit him and I assume got questioned. Should turn into a solid cups contender, something like that Kilmore 3200m race could be great for him. Not sure about his gatespeed but seems unsuited to mile racing. |
|
By:
Khan, Quickest u will ever see out of the Gate.
Id like to see him with a Sit behind leader as can sprint quick. He isnt fit yet. Its been a long Prep for him as he has been in work for a year Has cost us plenty but hopefully pays his way now. Lloydy |

Today,
Just sat there again and shiit in. Imagine if a Good trainer had the Horse. BTW my Horse was in same race and went terrible. Im ready to Sack it. Hate the thing |
|
By:
Wow that was painful to watch tonight. Salute the Wind was $1.04 in running but like a typical bad drivers Ron hates the fence so he decided to throw the race away rather than win via the 'cheats' lane.
Good drivers like Chris Lang win dozens of races via the sprint lane every year and one of the reasons it's so easy for him is so many drivers go out of their way to avoid it. My brain struggled to accept this for a long time but it's just a fact. |

Khan,
Imagine the horse with Aiken |

Khan,
Apple Beach could not keep up tonight should get 1 month Ban. Im pretty sure will have 3 starts this week. How can this keep happening Serial Offender. Apple Beach at 1 stage had ability |

HRV under Anderson is to promote mediocrity in all aspects of the industry. Any promising horses are quickly handicapped out of it and move interstate. Any promising personnel move on to other codes
|
|
By:
Does anyone remember the day Apple Beach dropped out of the clouds right down the outside fence to mow them down? Rosemma led that day and Apple Beach went past her like she was tied to the fence.
Without going back through I don't think she has looked like winning a race since, and that was some time ago. How can a horse look that good and then every other start look like a horse incapable of keeping up with any field  |
|
By:
Apple Beach ran 4 or 5 really good races earlier in the year. Had plenty of speed. He has broken its heart.

Three starts back when Salute the Wind was a $2.80 favourite it sat miles back while the leaders walked the first half in 65.1.
Two starts back STW was $1.04 in running but Ron took it away from the sprint lane and galloped into another horse looking for space. Last start the pace was frantic throughout which is perfect for Salute the Wind except Ron somehow found himself in the death and suffering more than anyone from it. The horse is actually going really well so it's taken some special driving to have it finish ninth, eighth and fifth recently but that's what you come to expect and love from trainer drivers. Tomorrow night it's running off a massive 50m handicap and the best driver in the world couldn't get it finishing within cooee of the winner of that very strong field. The paper tipster somehow says it can 'lay claim to some winning hopes' but that's ludicrous, it has none. |

That was just a monster win tonight, I knew it was good but that was something else. The leader was not mucking around and it gave it 50 metres and came out wide. It is clearly one of the top 5 trotters in the country on ability.
Why on earth didn't they run it in the Kilmore Trotters cup a couple of weeks back? It underlines even more, if that were possible, how extraordinary the last three drives on it have been. |

By:
Hope you made some Coin Khan.
I was on small as thought was a weak race for it. Give the Horse to Aiken it would go close to top 5 |

He nearly forgot to pull out tonight

Tonights race is AWESOME. Vice Cheval is a very good trotter and Paris Pepperell should have won easily last start and has a big hope too.
STW has never won at the track, doesn't like sprint trips and prefers stands to mobiles so you can't get your hopes too high. On the plus side, he's in scorching form and has recently discovered a little gatespeed. What should Ron do? After much thought I think he should go forward. He could take the lead from Paris Pepperell but Maori Vacation looks the probable leader to me and I suspect it will not be handing up to anyone except the stablemate, which is a fair problem. In that case Ron should just stay in the death and try not to work too hard, which isn't easy. Vics Cheval will probably make a move and you basically have to hand up the death (and probably lead) to it and then try to beat it from the death which is quite difficult. The other option is to do what he usually does and drop out and hope for tons of speed which might happen but is extremely risky over a sprint trip. Either option seems valid so hard to see how Ron could get things too wrong tonight but his record is not encouraging. Will be fascinating to see what happens. |
