mid week racing wrap
Warwick Farm Wash-Up – July 2nd
Track: Heavy 10
Mood: Moist.
Punters: Slightly traumatised.
Race 1 – With most of the field running for cover, only four braved the slop. Dyami did the best impression of a mudlark and fought hard to win. Rach was the flashing light run in what was essentially a very wet barrier trial.
Race 2 – Tomato Toastie sat off the pace, loomed ominously on the turn, and smoked them like Sunday bacon. Ernaux has officially been sacked. He’s had more chances than a bad girlfriend and still lets us down.
Race 3 – Vanessi led, kicked, and ran out of gas like a 1994 Corolla. Killer Kerr snuck up the fence like a thief in the night to pinch it. Meanwhile, Honey Perfume continues her commitment to never actually winning a race.
Race 4 – Welcome Gypsy jumped, led, and was gunned down late by Fat Jockey tip Romeo’s Choice, who stormed home like a wet-track wizard. First-up, heavy track – yes please. Easy money for the believers.
Race 5 – Travolta danced up the fence and took the win, but not before the stewards almost ran out of notepads from all the interference. American Starlet was absolutely poleaxed – complete forgive job.
Race 6 – Nana’s Wish swam through the swamp like Ian Thorpe in his prime and bolted in. Blinkers on for Hopper… yeah, nah. That experiment failed like a backyard science project.
Race 7 – Sound Banker raced like a rocket early, but by the time they straightened, he was nearly shoved through the running rail. Complete forgive. While that chaos unfolded, Covert Thinking said “see ya later” and dashed away. Aroha Stone ran well in behind.
BONUS BET – Queensland Race 8:
First Man launched home into 3rd and added a little coin to the kitty – the best result of the day in a state where the sun actually came out.
💸 Summary:
A swampy, sloppy, stop-start kind of day. Winners were hard to find, interference was everywhere, and the punting gods were not kind. But thanks to Romeo’s Choice and Nana’s Wish, we’re still cashed up for Saturday and ready to reload.
Quack quack. See you on the dry!
