Horse To Follow: Very biased here in Tosen Stardom as stated yesterday I have a small share in him. First up taking on BHB at his favourite track and distance with BHB being rock hard fit 3rd up and took the all the straight to nab Tosen on the line. Provided he doesn’t meet Winx will be super hard to beat next time.

Ride of The Day: Jason Collett on La Bella Diosa who pulled their pants down in the Surround Stakes over more fancied rivals.

Run Of The Day: Sheidel, they rarely lead and win Oakleigh Plates but she did and ran electric time overall so burnt the candle at both ends.

Forget It Ran: Single Bullet, I don’t think it handled the track at all but still finished just of the winner. Think will improve greatly if can find a dry track next up.

The Money Was Right: Shiedel was $11 into $7.50 in a Group 1 and didn’t let supporters down.
