Takeover Target
I watched in amazement last night as the great Takeover Target won the Krisflyer International Sprint Group 1 race in Singapore. He didn’t flog them, he was challenged for the lead by another Australian horse, Magnus as they straightened but TT knuckled down and went on to break the 1200 meter track record with a sizzling 1.08.8, outstanding!
All this for a purchase price of $1200. Former NSW Cab driver Joe Janiak saw something in this horse that know one else did and it has paid off for him bigtime. 6 Group 1 wins to his name and another trip around the world for owner and horse.
In my opinion a 12 year old girl could ride this thing to a win but Jay Ford rode the horse again and good luck to him, 10% is 10% in anyone’s language. I just wish he could do the same thing with the Fangsta!.
Other results from the weekend saw Valentino Rossi win Le Mans Moto GP in dominant fashion to gain the lead in the world championship.
Rampant Lion should have won the Doomben Cup but lost to the reinvigorated Sarrera.
Luke Nolen is still dead in my opinion.
Tim Sheens gave his star five-eighth Benji Marshal and absolute pizzling about his atrocious defence in the Tigers gutsy win over the nights on Sunday. Some of Tim’s comments were pretty harsh but fairly accurate.
And finally Sonny Bill Williams is apparently having a sook about his situation with the doggies. It wasn’t more than 6 weeks ago Sonny was on television bagging Willie Mason for turning his back on his beloved dogs and now SBW is having a crack. In all seriousness he had better start performing on the field rather than flapping his jaw like a spoilt 13 year old. He ain’t as good as all the talk has had him and I would know, I was paying some big wraps over the past few years. He is pissed off that he can’t play for NSW in the Origin, well I wouldn’t even pick him on his latest form!
Stop going on TV and talking SBW, start going on the field and dominating. You may just find that your disappointment with the dogs suddenly clears up.
SBW, or Dunny Bill Williams as I like to call him after his run in with Candice Falzon in the loo, is one of the most over rated players going around.
When he’s fit and in form, he’s fantastic…..but i don’t think we’ve seen that since 2005
How many games does he play a year? Surely he must average sitting half the season on the sideline with a pulled this or a strained that. I think it’s a case of having no heart
Have a sook DBW……he sounds very similar to showbag
I saw the Takeover Target race on the news this morning. Very good win. Tim
Sheens should keep these sort of issues to the behind the scenes situation. Telling the media that Marshal can’t tackle isn’t really going to help anyone.
Leave Sonny Bill Williams alone. I assume you are attacking him because he is a good footballer and of a different race. Innapropriate again. He has every right to speak out for his race.
I heard about Takeover on the radio this morning. Love to see Aussies performing well overseas, whether human or animal!
Rob B, howon earth is this racist? Man yuo take things to heart.
Sonny Bill is like a tampon – In for one week and out for three!
