Racing HQ featuring Punters Post Mortem with Dave Stanley, Ron Dufficy, Chris Roots and David Gately

Tom Kitten has been beautifully handled by Godolphin and was an enthralling win in the Spring Champion Stakes….Tom will not race in the Derby. He will go for a spell til the Autumn.

Duff says it was a great ride from Adam Hyeronimus. A bit of a question mark on the performance of the horses behind him…but shouldn’t take away from the winner.

Gator says The race was 10 lengths above group 1 average and there is a lot to like about Tom Kitten as an athlete

Chris says it was the win everyone knew he had in him.

Gator said Romantic Warrior was so brave and the will to win helped him over the line to win the Cox Plate

The race was on Speed… 8 lengths above Group 1 average

Alligator Blood was a bulldog….and never gave up

Gold Trip couldn’t finish off with Romantic Warrior but still ran well

Victoria Road was a disappointment

Duff said it was a race where the best ride will win..and the best ride was James McDonald.

Renaissance Women in the Craven Plate was a great run…..she has matured. Duff is predicting she will be brilliant in the Autumn…but not to say she wont win another race before then.

Chris says Huetor was held up and very unlucky in the Craven Plate and will go to the Mckinnon or Champion Stakes

Chris says Athabascan in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup had no luck in the race will likely go to the Melbourne Cup

Duff says Skybird is an interesting horse and a it was a great win in the Fillies Classic. She is on the way up .

Gator said her last 600 sectionals were amazing. Coming home she was the second quickest of any horse all day at the Valley

Chris says Amelias Jewel will arrive on Thursday ahead of the Golden Eagle on Saturday at Rosehill

Could possibly be up to 10 Group one winners in the Race .
