How good was the cup. All the exposure and economic spinoffs, well done to the VRC. Get around your Cup SA.

Bit of SA flavour to the Heritage result. Quinella a few times, giddy up 😎

Port Lincoln opener: R1 - Habondia $3+- Back from metro. Many slow ones, should cross ok? Saved on Initially off trials, odds gone now. R2 - Uncommon Mind $6+ - Stable not big first up hitters, but trial and best form good for this. Save Vasili, intent to run well fresh? GL🦈

1x4 spec Oriedos in the last. Clearly a conscious effort by Cozi to have his horses forward for opening day.

Nice work from Cozi, had Vas ready to go vs a bunch having pipe openers. Intent ++

The Lincoln home turn is a cruel mistress 😵

Balak Wed 30/9 good candidate for a hero race. ~$40k 2200m Quality Hcp 17 days from the Caulfield Cup. Eager fans from the Balak Cup, track in prime condition. Saves top local horses a trip to Melb. Different from the Sat Skybeau heat. @RacingSA @BalaklavaRacing @LPearson15

Same deal for the upcoming @mtgambierracing Wednesday meeting. Love to see a 40k 1800m Qty race 17 days from the Cox Plate. School hols, spring carnival. Attractive to locals and overflow from better Melb races. Never know what would show up. Nice start point the 1800 there.

Kinda mitigates their eggs all in one basket scenario

Oakbank Easter Monday thoughts: - Add 35k 2900m ~bm68. Bump This Sat 2535m to a ~bm72. - Running rails need some TLC. Looks dilapidated. - Add some margin for error to outer rail in the straight. Hate to see one go down there. - Pony Club stuff was great. @OakbankRaces @RacingSA

You'd bump that ~2900m to a higher bm race after thinking about it. Brings a slightly higher quality horse to the Monday. Would round out the carnival much more nicely imo?

The Oakbank Ohana Hawaiian for close friends and family, perfect for Easter, and sounds cool :)
