Melbourne Cup Racing Odds: Myer Classic For Politeness
August 21st, 2014 by Pom de TurfLook out for exciting 4-year-old Politeness in the 2014 Myer Classic: according to trainer Robert Smerdon her Spring Season will culminate in a run at Flemington on November 1st. But look out for her name in the Racing odds, too, as we go through the Melbourne Spring – she’s a horse that could be in with a shout in a few big races!
Politeness hadn’t had a run out since April, when she came home as a winner in the P.J. Bell Stakes. A barrier trial last week at Randwick – one that was a gentle run out, but that seemed to go well – has left Smerdon in good spirits, too, as the Melbourne Spring looms: ‘she had a Read the rest of this entry »

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIrish trainer Aiden O’Brien has had a mixed experience of the Melbourne Spring over the years. He has seen a measure of success with a place in the Melbourne Cup for Mahler, but he’s had bad experiences, too – the one that stands out would be the 2008 Melbourne Cup that saw him fielding some pretty stern questions from the stewards. Be that as it may, it looks like he’s going to be back for more in 2014, and his runner Adelaide is going to be amongst the Racing odds for the Cox Plate…
Adelaide has been super consistent in recent times, finding Read the rest of this entry »

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfOTI Racing purchased Van Percy back in June with the Melbourne Spring very much in mind, and he returned them a first win in their colours at Goodwood in the UK last month. He will be looking to perhaps race once more on English soil before he makes the trip to Australia for the Spring Season, and you can expect to see him amongst those Racing odds for the Melbourne Cup and other big races, too…

August 20th, 2014 by Pom de TurfLast year’s Cox Plate was a difficult one for Happy Trails and especially for trainer Paul Beshara, who was suspended for the race that saw Happy Trails narrowly edged out by Shamus Award, and who will feel like there’s some real unfinished business in this year’s race. As you’d expect, Happy Trails is amongst the Racing odds for the Cox Plate at this early stage, and he’s been Read the rest of this entry »
