Message: I'll give you the early tip, back Finito for the place in the Lee Steere. Will be stormin home and prob run 3rd.
Should be at least $3.50 a place.
Oh yeah and Tribula will win very comfortably. S.J. made a bad decision last start to take a sit and was badly blocked. Hopefully she will be paying a bit better this week. The Recoup is comin!!!
WA Top Weights Top National Strike Rate Date: 4-Sep-2003
16.55 % of horses weighted with 57.0kg or more in handicap races run in the metropolitan area of WA in the 2002/3 racing season were winners.
This compared favourably with the national figure of 14.16%.
In WA 550 horses were allocated 57.0kg or more and of these 91 were winners.
The strike rate of 16.55% compared with the other weight categories as follows: 55/56.5kg 11.13% 53-54.5kg 9.19% 52-52.5kg 4.54%
Horses weighted on the minimum weight of 52kg were 1006 winning 35 races, a strike rate of only 3.47%.
Throughout all of Australia 6601 horses were allocated only 52 or 52.5kg during the season. 2180 or a staggering 33% of these were in Western Australia.
Horses weighted with 57.0kg or more represented 7% of all runners in WA and they won 13% of races run. For the other categories: 55-56.5kg 25% of runners 31.5% of winners 53-54.5kg 45% of runners 41.5% of winners 52-52.5kg 27% of runners 13.5% of winners
Throughout Australia horses weighted with 57.0kg or more represented 14% of all runners and won 21% of all races.
Message: Never fear folks Shifty has looked at the Perth races for you all. Shifty will give a quick run down of the early races before hitting the Quaddie.
R-1 Skip
R- 2 Don’t really like anything
R – 3 the way Cation was going early this year, you would have to give it some chance but Shifty, will look to Uncle Brian to win for the first time this time in.
R – 4 Conspirator seems to be going around every weekend, Whats Lindslay Smith trying to do??? Keen on Higgins Gold here to win over the more suitable distance.
Okay Qauddie Time, first off Guineas R – 5 Chances to 1,2,3,5 and 12. Tough race, Shifty is putting Diamond Dash on top. Shifty is putting the Pen through the form of the last race that DD contested, many hard luck stories with DD at the height of them, 3rd up and should now be looking for the 1600m. The top three have to go in on form and class and especially the pull in the Kgs to their last couple. And Shifty is defiantly not leaving Star Trek out, probably settle last from the Car Park, but could once again roll them.
R- 6 Absolute race in 4 maybe even 3. Mapperholic just over tribula with Finto 3rd, and the other chance is Old Fashion. Obviously Tribula with the form and is better of at the weights, but Shifty cant look past Mapperholic. Dead set cant see anything else wining other than those mentioned.
R –7 Lakeside Rhythm should lead a long way with, tribal Secret and On the Watch getting there late. Actually Shifty is quite keen on tribal Secret.
R-8 Shifty doesn’t want to give away his entire Qauddie just in case a few others jump on board, thus destroying Shifty’s divi. So he wont be able to give his selections in the last but Shifty will say that he is potting Shirazamatazz.
On other Matters, Shifty was very disappointed with the Ascot track on Melb Cup day. How far was the rail out??? Better be nothing like that for the bigger races.

Message: Rq, if that's the case, then it's a disgrace. From what I've heard, the turf club had prior notice to all the debacle that was to befall the track at Ascot but their response was "she'll be right". Behold when it came to day to switch to ascot from belmont and Ascot didn't come upto scratch, they were caught with their pants down.
But praise must be hand to the curator's for the sterling job in keeping belmont upto an excellent standard. Best winter course in Australia and might prove to be one of the top all year round courses in Australia.
Author: Power Quest Timestamp:- 15/11/2003 12:55:12 AM Subject: Re: BELMONT SATURDAY, PowerQuest..
Message: Great day of Racing at Belmont, here's my selections...
Main Races...
Lee Steere - Tribula($10). Bonny mare who has a good 2nd up record, good WFA performer and has won 5 times at 1600m. Unlucky last start and should make amends for it on Saturday.
WA Guineas - Going for a bit of an outsider here in Star Trek($16). Has drawn the Swan River, but it's last start win was full of merit. It blundered at the start and was near last on the turn and flooded home for a great win. Failed 2 starts back, but Star Trek was found to be suffering from a complaint. Tough race with many hopes, but I'll take Star Trek E/W.
Other thoughts on the card at Belmont, Race 1 - Watch
Race 2 - Like Ellicorsam($3.50), should be a two horse race between it and Tribulot.
Race 3 - Bonnie Brae($6.00), has never won over the 1000m but did win a trial over a 100m by 4L in the 7/11. Will be up near the leading brigade and will give a good sight.
Race 4 - Our Selection($4.20), should have won last start in in the Northam cup(average ride, Very average). Drawn the the outside but will be hard hold out as it is in good form. Fred Kersley horse King Jugah will be his main danger.
Race 5 - Star Trek
Race 6 - Tribula
Race 7 - Lakeside Rhythm($5.50), Front running mare who will be hard to catch. Drawn one and should easily lead and be too good.
Race 8 - Kim Storm($5.00), Racing in top fashion lately and has FINALLY drawn a barrier that's not in double digits. Was wide the trip last start and battled on gamely to run 5th in the Asian Beau stakes. 1600 is limit but should get the pie ride from barrier two and hope Knuckey can boot him home. A watch on Fred Kersley's Horse Shirazamatazz, hope it has come back from it's little hiccup and runs well.
All in all, a good days racing as attention switchs to the west as the carnival heats up. My best E/W for tommorow is in Race 6 Number 13 Tribula.

Message: Speeds "Throughout all of Australia 6601 horses were allocated only 52 or 52.5kg during the season. 2180 or a staggering 33% of these were in Western Australia" These figures are skewed as In sydney horses are not weighted below 53 usually as it is too hard on the jocks-but you knew that already.
