GET YA BACKSIDE TRACKSIDE
Righto punters, dust off the notebook — Fat Jockey’s Black Book is open for business!
Despite a little pre-race whisper about her setback, Stefi Magnetica said “hold my oats” and rocketed home with the fastest last 600m of the day. She came from the clouds, swooping like a seagull after hot chips — safe to say, she’s back in business! And if history tells us anything, this girl only gets better deeper into a prep. Strap in.
Now, here’s the sneaky one — Dark Glitter. She had to check, stop, weave, and probably show her ID to get back on the rail, but once she saw daylight, she absolutely sizzled home. Her 400–200m split matched Stefi’s 10.91 — that’s elite speed, folks. Just had too much to do from the caboose.
🖊️ Fat Jockey’s Tip: Keep Dark Glitter in the black book — she’s ready to sparkle next time when she doesn’t have to run through traffic like it’s peak hour on Parramatta Road.
Well punters, Attica just told them all to sit down and behave in the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) — and gee whiz, didn’t it look as good as it reads!
While Queen Of Clubs and Within The Law plugged away like honest little stayers doing their homework, it was Attica who dropped the hammer from the 400m–200m and said, “catch me if you can.” Spoiler: they couldn’t.
That burst of speed not only blew the field away — it also blew a hole in Fat Jockey’s wallet. Yep, he took my cash and didn’t even buy me dinner first. But credit where it’s due — that was a genuine Group 1 motor on display.
🖊️ Fat Jockey’s Note: Put a star next to Attica. He’s the real deal. As for Queen Of Clubs and Within The Law — they’ll pick up something over a trip soon enough, maybe when Attica’s off being famous.
Now excuse me while I go count the coins left in the punting kitty… 🍻🐎
Chris Waller’s at it again, folks — quietly rolling out another rocket ship while everyone’s looking the other way. Skyglider has gone from a sleepy winter maiden winner to a Brian Crowley Stakes (1200m) hero, and he’s done it with a bit of flair.
He had a peach of a run, sure, but when he let rip, he really let rip — clocking the fastest last 600m of the race and a slick 11.93 for his final 200m. That’s what we call warp speed in punter terms.
First-up, lightly raced, and already dishing out lessons to seasoned campaigners — remember, he knocked off Sixties and Estremo on debut, and they’ve since gone on to win Group races. That’s no fluke — that’s form, baby.
🖊️ Fat Jockey’s Verdict: Skyglider’s the type that could sneak into a serious race and blow them away before the market even notices. Keep him under the cap — he’s airborne.
