Strollers Sixth Race [05:34]
Probably spelling him now. Jockey said the horse never gave him anything. He didn't jump well, tended to hang in and just wasn't in the race. He's in a black cap, barrier 6 and you can see the poor start he gets. Not sure what's wrong with him, he wasn't blowing afterwards, but it's his worst race yet and a spell might help him.
Strollers fifth race [05:04]
OK initially a bit disappointing but there was crazy speed on early. Stroller jumped well again but the inside horses weren't going away and some of the outside horses were hammering it. The jockey decided to back off and the horse was running 3 wide in the second pack of four. Just after the turn he starts to shake him up but the horse on his outside is keeping up with him (with a couple of taps of the whip). Then he runs into/gets run into the horse in front, who was also running 3 wide but in the first pack. There's not much more than 3-400 metres left and the jockey said he couldn't get him going again. He definitely doesn't ride him out and I can't see him use the whip on him at any stage.
Strollers third race [05:25]
Much better run this time. Jockey's comments: the horse still raced a bit green, wanted to duck away from the whip and he knocked up a bit over the concluding stages. This was a tough race, some very good horses here. The winner placed in Brisbane last start and Stroller showed good early speed and is continuing to improve every run. Finished 1.2 lengths behind winner.
