No Love Lost
There is plenty of needle in the 5yo milers race on Saturday when Shinibana’s muddy Noddack looks to avenge an unlikely defeat last time by flying spurs versatile mare Savannah Flyer. In a high quality race, they are not the only two capable of winning it either and Angel’s Flight, New Scotland Yard and Gray Dog Stables will be out to settle a few scores of their own.
The Pegasus Plate to be run over the 1700m has attracted as good a quality field we could hope to put together anywhere on this surface.
There will be plenty of looking over the shoulder in this race.

1. Kingston Eclipse |
5yo stallion from Angel’s Flight, Career earnings: $3,879,406 Overall rating: Excellent(60) – Mud-lark |
Stable comments: – “This is Kingston Eclipse first time facing his rivals since his disappointing lost in the Jewel of The Mile. I felt running the 2nd leg last season so close to the Jewel made him out to be toast in that race. Hopefully he is more fit this time around and will give a better showing.
2. Savannah Flyer |
5yo mare from flying spurs, Career earnings: $3,065,248 Overall rating: Excellent(60) – Mud-lark |
Stable comments: – “Savannah has been great fun really, I have to say she been one of the few highlights in cups the last 2 seasons. I would simply love it if she could win, but Angel has a runner that very good Kingston Eclipse the one to beat. Noddack looks very good and Achilles won cups as well I will need luck to even get top 3.”
3. Jockz Frith |
5yo stallion from Norfolk Inchance, Career earnings: $2,197,382 Overall rating: Reasonable(51) |
Stable comments: – “I honestly only entered the P.P. at the last moment. I was just searching around TK on Saturday night and saw that the P.P. had some races for Sunday so I checked if I had any horses that fit the criteria for the race. I’m still at the learning stage of this game and was thrilled last week that I had my first runner in the TK final (although I finished last)! I really don’t think my runner in the P.P. has any chance as the horses that ran on Saturday have had an extra days vets, and my horse isn’t in very good shape at the moment, plus he isn’t as good as some of the others in the final, although I am looking at finishing better than last in the race, haha.”
4. Noddack |
5yo mare from Shinibana, Career earnings: $986,875 Overall rating: Grand(68) – Mud-lark |
Stable comments: – “I think both Noddack and Celsius (runs in GnuMad cup) are going to be top three in the finals, but probably not win, but you never know?”
5. Achilles |
5yo mare from New Scotland Yard, Career earnings: $2,100,348 Overall rating: Excellent(64) – Competitive |
Stable comments: – “
6. Side Frankly Yegad |
5yo stallion from Benning Farms, Career earnings: $454,600 Overall rating: Grand(67) |
Stable comments: – “I have no chance on winning. But I like to enter the races that the lower ranking stables might have a chance at. Seems like all the long time stables dominate this game. But I at least can say I’ve bred some decent stock”
7. Secret Window |
5yo mare from Tony’s Trotters, Career earnings: $1,218,278 Overall rating: Acceptable(43) – Early sprinter |
Stable comments: – “I like these races because they give your young, up and coming horses a chance at some decent prize money, whilst gaining valuable race experience.”
8. Trotter |
5yo stallion from wittinton, Career earnings: $1,256,508 Overall rating: Acceptable(41) – Fast finisher |
Stable comments: – “This will be my first outing in a ” big ” race .. so I’m pretty excited. Although my boy may not be up with the favorites for the race, he is a trier, so I won’t be too surprised if he is in the mix.”
9. Phunny Baba Slave |
5yo stallion from Cape Hall, Career earnings: $616,439 Overall rating: Excellent(61) |
Stable comments: – “I feel a little more confident going into this race with a slightly better chance of success”
10. Blunc Flyin |
5yo mare from Beat the Clock, Career earnings: $717,229 Overall rating: Adequate(39) – Stalker |
Stable comments: – “
11. Cutlass Supreme |
5yo stallion from Gray Dog Stables, Career earnings: $2,401,336 Overall rating: Excellent(61) – Stalker |
Stable comments: – “Cutlass Supreme seems to be in good form with a win in a small qualifying heat and has beaten some fellow entrants in last seasons Australian Cup but with that said there will be some major competition from the likes of Kingston Eclipse, Savannah Flyer and Noddack with the muddies maybe too much to handle in this race.”
