Cheers Voods We will need it Distance is too short but it’s his first run since July so we have to start somewhere

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Yes I had a laugh going through it as well As for tomorrow I’d think1400 is too short60kgs a 7 year old first up and the outside barrier don’t help either But it’s last trial was good and the horse looks well Stackhouse on is interesting, that alone tells me he is going well I will be happy if he runs home well the last 200 tomorrow and pulls up well I will say stranger things than Taramansour winning first up over 1400 have happened in racing

Yeah these 1400 races are often jog trots with on speed favoured. It's that messy betwixt and between distance. You can't miss 50 to 1 just in case obviously but you wouldn't be mortgaging the farm. Hope he has a good blow and pulls up well. And as you said stranger things have happened.

Nice run first-up. Connections would have been pretty happy?

Thanks Randy Yes very happy with that Had a good win myself on The Great Taramansour The way he won that I don’t think that was his last win

It would also be remiss of me not to put up a poem bagging Taramansour along with the response

There once was a horse from Ireland

Who galloped so fast like on fire

But then it came unstuck

And ran out of luck and now sits in in the paddock and mire


There was an Irish horse named Taramansour
winner of 4 races and should win more
the owner doesnt fret
as he had a large bet
the first time he did score

[Andrew Walker]

Taramansour ran a great second today in the Australia Day Cup being run down late after taking off at the 800 metre mark and circling the field Proud of him but a bit deflated we didn’t win as he beat the rest home easily

Whens he in next? Last start was a very good run- the 5 kg pull in the weights to the eventual winner was the difference. I notice he gets a freshen-up after 2 races close together—normally that is associated with an injury that needs to be managed rather than repaired....in any event he certainly tries his guts out which is probably why he has finished in the top 3 in 20 of his 40 starts

His last run was very good Id say him being run down late was a result of going back after drawing wide and making a long sustained run from the 800 wide on the track coupled with the winner having a pull in the weights and a very soft run in the race.

He’s running this Saturday in Adelaide in The Lord Reims Stakes and if all goes well will run again 16 days later in The Adelaide Cup

Best of luck with him. Ill have a each way tickle no matter the odds

[Random Rooster]

Good luck in Adelaide. He is the best horse in the race, its a matter of whether Neindorf can find a spot one off the rail from barrier 14 and they dont walk up front....he should be charging home in the last 100m. Exciting!

I think it’s an open race and whilst Taramansour may win whoever it was that thought they should charge in and take the opening quote from barrier 14/14 of 3.60 all the way into 2.60 were crazy. I see now it’s out to 3.10 which in my opinion is still unders

Grand Pierro has been flying although it’s drawn out wide also The Map is a good horse having won this race last year being placed in last years Adelaide Cup and also winning a Ramsden at Flemington ( auto qualifier for Melbourne Cup ) It’s form in spring was not flash and its last run to me was inconclusive although late on it was getting to the line However Silent Surrente who is also a chance in the race ( but drawn wide out as well ) outsprinted him last time out and hit line hard it has solid form lines and has to be a chance Throw in Beltoro whose racing consistently ( albeit it hadn’t won in its last 19 goes ) Gotta Go Guru has won impressively its last few but this is a much tougher and when you consider some of those wins have been off very slowly run races it’s a real query at the trip

Apart from the Maher factor I find it very strange how Goldenstatecwarrior is the same price as Grand Pierro it’s not well in under the weight scale was beaten in a weaker race last time out. Perhaps along with Taramansour it drifts in the market as the bookmakers percentages drop closer to the race

There are a few slow ones in it who on form appear to have little to no chance of winning, and I think we are a winning chance but the current price is poisonous betting wise. Long term you go broke backing horses at that price from wide gates but some do still win from wide gates. Hoping Taramansour is one of them

Great run-he really tries his heart out. I thought he had them - just needed a extra few metres. 3200 metres for the Adelaide cup will suit him big time
