Weekend Washup

A pretty poor result for PASS members over the weekend. All together we provided five selections for one winner and one second. There were also two "Horses To Follow" who raced, both finished third.

Of our selections, only Street Smart would be worth backing again. She got too far back in the field, probably one of Jim Byrne's more poorly judged ride. Byrne gave the mare little chance of winning, as she was still about 8 lengths behind the leaders on straightening. She finsihed strongly, although never looking a winning possibility, to be beaten around a length. A good effort with the weight she carried.

I would not suggest we back any of the other horses we selected again, unless they improve dramatically at future runs.

The only outstanding performance I saw over the weekend was at Moonee Valley on Friday night. In race 3 a horse from the Tony Vasil stable debuted named Lucky Secret. The 3yo gelding burnt out of the barriers and led easily, and was never looked like being run down. He won being eased down by 4 lengths in slick time and earmarked himself as a potential group winner. He will probably be very short in his next couple of runs, but place him in your black books and in 6-12 months time, we might see him at juicy odds in a nice race, where he will be quite backable.

Good luck and profitable punting.
