The Movember Crown

No Love Lost

The Movember Crown brings a golden curtain down on the medium cups for the current crop of 6yo’s. The rematch of two outstanding horses could prove to be the highlight of a spectacular race in the making. Only seven runners line up for this race at Sydney Harbour Racecourse on Saturday.

So early in the week track nuts once again sent Alvin Crackers down to visit each trainer and get there take on this season Movember Crown .

CRACKERS-  “Angel, looking at Kingston Eclipse, he looks a treat so you must carry some confidence going into the race. How do you see this Movember Crown you once again take on Savannah Flyer and Achilles.”

ANGEL  – “Yes Crackers, Kingston Eclipse faces his nemesis Savannah Flyer once again holding a 2-1 cup standing against the champion mare. I expect it to come down to a hard fought battle once again between the two with the margin of error being slim. But also Achilles from NSY can’t be ignored. Overall it should be fun an exciting race to watch, may the best horse win.”

Crackers – “Chrissy once again Savannah Flyer looks primed and ready, you must be pleased with her going into a cup final. If the Movember is anything like the Pegasus Cup it may come down to the last stride, whats your take on this.”

CHRISSYA  – “Savannah Flyer has once again trained up so well, she has really been a joy to train and race. No surprise Kingston Eclipse is again the stumbling block, but as always my girl will try her best. May well again be decided on the line like the Pegasus.

CRACKERS – “Very nice to see you running in the Movember Crown, Norfolk, what tipped you into running Jockz Frith .”

NORFOLK – “I threw this horse in the heats as a companion on a long plane ride to Oz with my runner in the Sprintstar, and I wasn’t really hopeful of getting in the final so this is a massive surprise. Hope to finish better than last.”

CRACKERS – “Some tough nuts to crack Gray Dog, in what may be a small field, how do you see this seasons Movember Crown .

GRAY DOG – “Though a small field, 4 of the 7 runners have a cup under their belt which should make this a competitive race. Cutlass Supreme is looking to regain his winning form, but on a slow track against two tough muddies it may be too much to ask.”
