The race today over 7 and 1\/2 furlongs is the Musicality Challenge.\u00a0 Now only a small field today for this Stakes race at Tassie but one of the main attractions is not only the race but what happens just before the race begins.\u00a0 About two mins before the gates open to let the runners out, 5 volunteers play musical chairs with a twist, the chairs are on the race track.\u00a0 Aim is not only to win – you have to be sitting in a chair when the music stops – you also have to finish before the race begins otherwise you will get stampeded over by the runners. What fun…<\/P>
1 SLEWS GONE WILD(KY)<\/STRONG> <\/P> Record: 26-8-1-6 Has been running exceptional speeds for this level of race all in the high 105 to 110 of late and mostly at Graded racing too.\u00a0 Hasn’t been getting the results though, in fact his last win was way back in Dec last year which on an off track he won well with a speed of 114 over 8 furlongs.\u00a0 He has been coming up short though since then and hasn’t been able to close well either running out of room or stamina. Not a sure bet here at all after running third over 8 furlongs while still closing in an Allowance race.\u00a0 Back slightly in distance here – not sure if that will help or hinder. Record: 39-9-8-7 Second favourite of the race is is in particularly exceptional form coming off a win at Allowance level over 7.5 furlongs and a speed of 110. Impressive hey. Stepping up to Stake level now, is in the right form to really shake this one up especially with only the 5 runners in all here.\u00a0 Bred out of Commands, Aussie registered will be the local favourite here at the Tassie track for sure.\u00a0 Even if he doesn’t win it he will be very very close – watch this space as they say. Record: 37-9-5-5 Out of Tale Of The Cat x Seattle Slew x Mr. Prospector, this well bred 5yo horse has absolutely no chance at all.\u00a0 Only joking… Of course.. In fact he has 5 wins on the run now, thats 5 wins in a row for you uneducated readers.\u00a0 And his last race was a good one speedwise with 108 on the board across 7 furlongs.\u00a0 Distance should be good – the only question is he is stepping up from claimers and allowance but that said he has been getting some good speeds as well as the results on the board.\u00a0 Nothing to suggest he can’t win today – small field will only help him.\u00a0 Big chance for him today. Record: 36-13-8-8 Has pretty much run his career 50\/50 on turf and dirt tracks and his recent race form confirms that.\u00a0 Last two races were on turf but his previous three to that was on dirt for a win and 2 second place finishes. Back to dirt here again now – hard to judge but he may well go for a place here.\u00a0 Has been getting good speeds on both types of tracks so is an excellent all round horse really.\u00a0 Has a chance I think even though he is stepping up to Stakes on dirt again.<\/P> \u00a0 Record: 29-11-5-3 After a good Stakes win over 4.5 furlongs 3 runs back with a speed of 100 and leading the whole way, he has faded in his last two races over 6.5 furlongs and then last run over the 5 furlong range.\u00a0 And that appears to be the problem for this 7yo, the distance here today.\u00a0 Doesn’t look like he can handle anything beyond 5 furlongs and today’s race at 7.5f will only make it that much harder. Destined to run last I fear after leading early.\u00a0 Maybe…<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The MUSICALITY Challenge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8421\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
