Is it simply kind of a race, but actually just a workout?
Barrier Trial is like a training race that some tracks had here in the past.

When that girl has a target presented to her, she drops down and throws it into another gear. WOW!! She is truly something special...

Chris Waller trains 6 of the 7 runners, you call that horse racing.

Starting to look like a joke, its just padding the stats. A shame the horse never went to the UK so we could get a taste of how good it really is/was.
Waller will control the entry box from here until the horse is retired.

Kind of like a qualifier in harness racing.

It is a shame they didn't go the UK or France at least once while at her peak, but right now I don't think you can blame the connections for what's going on. There are good horses in Australia, but they are avoiding her. When a horse is that dominant, people seek out purse money and graded races elsewhere rather than conceding 1st and running for 2nd or 3rd.

Good post, Wayne. I have written and said many times: A huge problem with racing nowadays is that nobody with a live horse willingly risks a loss. And you can't coronate winners without quality losers as affirmation.

And this stubborn unwillingness to lose results in 3/5 winners and 12 length margins-unbettable races, that is.

Facing 7 horses in the 5th at Rosehill (australia A), # 4. Track currently listed as "heavy", with the start of the race up a short chute at the rather uncommon distance of 1500 meters (7.5 furlongs).

Winx is 3 for 3 on heavy tracks, 4 for 4 at the distance, 6 for 7 on the course, and 35 for 41 lifetime, with 3 placings. So, she's due to be upset...;-)

Will play small Q with the Kiwi, #9, "Brutal", 'cause that's how this week at work went....
