Impressive finish coming from the back. Went e/w so at least got my money back 👍

Sky Majesty runs at Ayr for Tony this afternoon (15:00) - Doesn't appear to be a lot of money for it at the moment with 11/4 best price (as I write) with bookies and 4.6 (3.6/1) on the exchanges.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on the market as we approach post time.

I think ultimately Tony Bloom wants to win the Melbourne Cup, Australia's biggest flat race. Winning that race is $4.4 Million for the winner albeit it's a tough gig to get a runner let alone a winner.

By and large though, it's a hobby for rich people. Very few make a profit owning a horse. Some of them never make the race track, let alone win a race.

If she does win a decent race then that will help her value as a brood mare for breeding and then generate a return when her offspring are sold

Sydney .
Has a runner, Lake Forest, in the $10 million ‘Golden Eagle’ here in Sydney at Rosehill tomorrow.
Second richest race in Australia after ‘The Everest’ ($20 million).
Melbourne Cup is 3rd richest with $7.5 million.

Race is over 1500m and is for 4-year olds only - Lake Forest is a 33/1 shot.
