Any thoughts on the big race?

I think the pole should hand up, its its only chance of running a place......

Agree. Apparently the Special Albert (Lovely win in the Newcastle Mile @ 60/1 ) camp have declared that they WONT be handing up to anyone .
Personally i think thats just huff and puff talk and they will hand up to Blacks a Fake to give him a great chamce of running 2nd or 3rd.

My tip is take a Trifecta
Blacks a fake to win with Special Albert to run 2nd and 3rd with the Field.
Having said that, something will probably blast out from out wide to take the lead and stuff my plans up.

Special albert wont run in the first 3..

if it keeps the lead it will finish last and if it hands up it may run a nice 4th or 5th

Special Albert got into this race by leading!! why the hell should you hand up, your in it to win not run a place.
Lance Justice made the stupid mistake by handing up to Blackie in the Inter final and gave the race to it on a platter!!
Blacks a fake isnt immortal, Safari and Robin Hood have already proven that and if anyone wants to see an action packed Miracle Mile for once instead of the boring crap they serve up, everyone should be hoping the one burns out and holds the lead.
Just my thoughts anyway, goodluck.

Even though Lance would never admit it, it was one of his best ever tactical drives.
- They got good prize money and still had a horse left.

Thats fair enough, BUT when was the last time a horse led with Blacks a Fake sitting outside of them and they actually WON let alone finish in front of him?
If you were an owner of Special Albert, would you rather drive for $50-100k for finishing 2nd or 3rd or get F.All for entertaining the crowd by freewheeling in front until the last 300m?
Then again, Special Albert may not be able to hold the lead anyway?

B.A.F. you would think is already over the line on class alone... i think the main danger is changeover who is known for blistering mile rates... either way it's gonna be a cracker race. I'm just a little disappointed Auckland reactor isn't running, i think i may have missed some news of late as i thought he was running.... I love blackie but the reactor is gonna shake shit up in the interdom. Mark my words

But the top 3 fave's are a great chance to fill the placings, with divisive as a smokey on his rep in big races.

Well Special Albert "freewheeling" in front 26.6 first quarter and coming home in last half 55.8 won him the Newcastle Mile on a 1000 metre track with Divisive having every opportunity to run him down siting one-one, so why would you change your race tactics a week later on a leaders bias track. I agree he does look out classed but i also thought that before the Newcastle Mile as well. The miracle mile is a leaders race.

I think blacks a fake will be fully wound up this week the way she drove him last week watching it a couple of times she wasnt very interested in the early battle she will have him fully wound this week and i think he will win even if he sits in the death outside the pole marker. The horse to lay in the race to lay is changeover cant win IMO if he goes forward trapped three wide with blacky in the death and if blacky leads he wins.

i think the mm is the biggest joke of a race there is & how can they call it a mile when it isn't run over a mile anymore

agree with jj albert will hand up & then run 2nd just like lance did as well as b.gath on franco tiger a few years back

Note for people doing their form, Blacks a Fake did carry a flat tyre for the majority of the race last week, so its run appears better than it looked.

Thats a negative RRM..... it was confirmed no flat tyre.....

Changeover might be able to lead...... I have a feeling they will set it alight early.....

2 women driving in a MM.... what is the world coming to???

changeover has no hope of crossing blacks a fake

what odds you give me then?

i wont enter into that rubbish but if you think it can lead you should be trying to get the best odds about it winning

Not only has Changeover NO hope of leading, I would be surprised if the horse even went forward out of the gate.
- The faggot NZ reinsmen dont often show "balls" or initative

the driver of the pole horse is the one with no brains
