Thumbs Up & Big Fist is where the Mug Punting team take a humourous look at what's hot and what's not from the weekend’s racing.
THUMBS UP
Zipping
Any horse that wins the same Group race at WFA level 3 years in a row can count themself as a pretty good animal. Raced around the entire field 3 wide at the 800m mark to lead into the straight.....then simply a very promising staying mare in the straight. Thumbs Up.
Richard Callendar
The highlight of the Sandown Classic meet every year is a racing "celebrity" singing the national anthem.....and good work Big Fella you put your nuts (and ample guts) on the line to belt out National Anthem despite (thankfully) microphone issues. WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION ALONE..!! Thumbs Up.
BIG FIST
Lloyd Williams
First you have your son discuss the merits of Tintern after winning race 1....rather than the new "trainer" Robert Hickmont, than after being quizzed about it on TVN you withdraw all media comments to that media outlet depriving the racing public of the celebrations of Zippings three-peat. Stick to training...oh wait.
