MORE NEWS FROM ROVING REPORTER... SHAUN GILLESPIE....NOW AT GLOBE DERBY..
SHAUN reports that the trip from Melbourne to Adelaide was blighted by a kangaroo incident only 10 minutes into the journey.BLOWN BUDGET,never the greatest of travellers is just a bit off his game
Following a near rollover,BB is not eating or drinking the best,and did not handle the testing home turn at GLOBE DERBY when worked along there.Shaun is hopeful that chiropractic attention will settle any problems picked up in the float incident.
On the up-side,BB has drawn the 1 alley again,but,however,he has to contend with GLENBOGLE and A TOUCH OF FLAIR.The clash will occur in Race 4.As I said before,it is trotting,and anything can happen.The home turn will be there for the best of them.KATE AU PENNY and Ray Cross have drawn well in the "less strong" heat,(THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WEAK INTER-DOMINION HEAT) at barrier 2 in Race 7.Lets hope that the mare gets away clean this time.
Just as a point of interest,BE GOOD JOHNNY ran his last 400m in 26.6 on Wednesday night.That would have provided one of those"warm fuzzy" feelings for TEAM McCARTHY,particularly with a possible USA trip on the distant horizon.FINGERS CROSSED FOR ALL THE QUEENSLANDERS ON SATURDAY NIGHT..
