Arcadia Queen blitzed them in the Theo Marks Sakes over 1300. They are drooling over her over there but the other WA horse has stolen the show. Gatting was $139 on the tote in the Makybe Diva Stakes over 1600 and sat outside another WA horse Scales of Justice in the straight with favourite Mystic Journey looming but Gatting pulled away to win and leave Flemington in shock. Maybe the glory days are returning to WA racing since riding the great wave with the great Northerly.

Another WA prospect DD is Enticing Star who like Arcadia Queen is being set for the $14 million The Everest race (1200m) run at Randwick on October 19.

Yes I think she’s running next week BH so look out for that one. And Gatting is entered for the Underwood Stakes next up I think on the way to the Cox Plate. He’s a real pocket rocket Gatting, not a big horse but all guts and determination.

leave out Material Man who had 25 local starts for 14 wins & 7 placings..
Went to Melbourne & hasn't got warm in 6 starts..

Material Man has done bugger all in Melbourne yet it consistently had the wood on Gatting in Perth, which leaves this as one of the most baffling group 1 results i have ever seen.

You might be right STT with Gattings group 1 win casting doubts on the australian formline but its hard to jump in Lys Gracieux $6 odds now after the smarties jumped in on the 30s

Enticing Star was not.. Just caught 2nd last horse on the line & started short price favorite. Had it in Supercoach horse racing..

Yep huge flop.

Massive flop and no hope for the Everest on that run. I wonder if there has been an issue detected on the horse after that failure?

Pushin' Shapes couldn't get warm in last 8 local starts but bobs up today with Oliver on board.. $81 win.. Didn't give it a chance & backed the 2nd horse EW.. (last win at Northam)
