Its drawn the outside of the 2nd row over 1800m with Keturah Nelson on board and if its relatively short - represents NO value.

NUTHA LIGNUM driven by S JONES
---------------------------------
SCD + CENTREMAN you are both intelligent and good trotting judges
but you need to know the facts about the JONES drive on Nutha Lignum
I discussed tactics with Jones and how the race would pan out
The [1] GLENYS GLORY we expected to be 3rd on the pegs
[2] NUTHA LIGNUM was to lead it
[8] GUNBARRELL STARIGHT was to be one out one back or 5th pegs
[4] PETRIA was to be in the breeze
The plans were unstuck when the [1] missed the start
[2] NL led [4] P in the death [8] GS 3rd the pegs
After an early burn NL led with the only danger GS on its back
GS has as we know a paraylising 200m sprint and the one to beat
JONES had 3 decisions
Go for home at the 400
Go for home at the before the turn
Go for home in the straight
No matter what happened GS would outsprint him
Many on course experts thought he should not have let GS out before the turn
Those who know there horses like JONES/MAL know no matter what GS had NL beaten
Perhaps if he took off at the 400m, but then hes a sitting shot for the field in the straight.
NOT EVEN HOLLYWOOD HARDING COULD HAVE WON ON NUTHA LIGNUM.

R3 - 7 e/w (went really good last week after early mistake and field not that strong)
R4 - 7 win (should be improved by 1st go at a stand and is racing really well) - like your comment though Centreman
R6 - 4 (lay it) - was disappointed with it's run last time + the 1 will lead and run along at 30seconds quarters - I think it will be way too short and the race will be set up for a Precipation or Carnival Rose
R8 - 5 win - should lead and be too quick for these
R9 - 1 e/w - D Harding will make it shorter, but it's going ok and race isn't strong...

You're not serious are you MAL???
I know Simon reads these forums, but be honest for a minute...
I'm the first one to wrap him up when he drives well (i'm not knocking him for one poor drive either - far from it, just saying it was an error in judgement), but you have to admit when he has an error in judgement - junior drivers have them, that's why they are junior drivers...
So either you're telling me that Simon didn't know the 1 had galloped at the start??
IN which case - If he didn't then he should have a licence.
Or he did know it had galloped - then why did he kick away??
Gunbarrel Straight picked him up 15m before the post (he kicked 400m from home) so I don't care how often you say it / think it - he would not have got beat if he holds it up!!! the sprint lane is only 125 - 150m in length, the way Nutha Lignum was going compared to the death and 3wide horse - he should have held up until the lane and kick just before it came into play (making it harder for Gunbarrel Straight to outsprint him) rather then leaving himself a sitting shot for a good little sit-sprinter...

Former SAFOOTY poster was on course saturday night
He misses being on the site and stirring a few of us up
The lad is largely misunderstood and is a nice person in real life
Do we give him one more chance ??????????????????????????
