Ground level close up shot from 1700m to 1580m mark at GP today benefits no one. Assists turnover in no way, shape or form. Whilst every owner, trainer, driver or punter who wants to clock individual pacers is just adding this to their list of shake your head moments.

STENO just broke the 2185m track record at Pinjarra trials. MR 1.54.5 Last 2000m in 2.23.5. Last mile in 1.52.96. Last 1200m in 1.22.7. Last 1000m in 68.1 (fastest l think l've clocked at the track). Home in 53.5 - 26.3 (13.26 & 13.04) and 27.2 (13.6x2). Nullabor wildcard?

CATCH A WAVE - Kate and Andy l suspect would be very happy with his run. Three-wide from the 1050m, he ran his final 1200m in 1.25.2 - 30, 27 and 28.2. The way the race was run, my personal view is that no local pacer would have likely finished any closer so all appears on track

NZ Oaks winner Aardiebytheseaside had her first WA trial this morning at Byford. Narrowly beaten by the leader Havago Joe βœ…, this recent addition to Team Bond settled 4br, eased to the breeze 1700 out and ran along. Her 2000 to 400m mile was 1.55.9, before coming home in 30.1

After being as slow as a fast tracker on a heavy 10 earlier in the week, kudos to Tab Touch for already putting up every market for tomorrows GP meeting. The Nullabor Cons. has already seen money for the top 3 in the market. 🐴πŸ₯‡βœ…

Uncle Chris turned back the clock last night. He turns 69 next birthday, but you wouldn't know it watching his drives at GP. With two wins and an excellently constructed 2nd placing, 'ACL' had me silently applauding watching the telly. Well done, Sir. πŸ™

WHATARETHEOODS any official comment about Race 5 at GP tonight will say the mobile score up speed was consistent with any other race at HQ. 'Good Lord' indeed! Either Mitchell & ACL have become very bad at their job and will be fined, or an apology from RWWA is required.

WATER LOU trialed at Pinj. this arvo. Soft early. Last mile in 1.55.2. last 1200 in 1.23.5. Out of screen for much of the 1200 to 800m section, but it would have been very quick. Her 8 to 6 split was 13.8. She then went 14.7 and 14.4, before sizzling home in 13.2. IMPRESSIVE!

NEVER ENDING last mile in 1.54.3 - 30, 28.7, 27.7 and home in 27.9. Hung down and almost broke on final turn. Drove it with the Eureka in mind and with faith in how fast he is. A fair present to give yourself on your 36th birthday. Well done Justin.

CATAINS CREEK is a half-brother to former very smart mare Wainui Creek. With the addition of DV Blinkers and chasing as opposed to leading in its most recent trial, we got to see a pacer with a bright future. Last 1000m in 70.3 and last half in 55.2 - 13.8 x 4. 2nd was sound also
