How exciting for all involved with Getta Good Feelings current and past connections. 🐎 ❤️

Milburn Creek's Inglis Easter yearling sale graduate Getta Good Feeling (So You Think) looks to preserve the unbeaten start to her autumn preparation when she strives for her first G1 success in Saturday’s Australasian Oaks (2000m) at Morphettville Racecourse.

The pre-post favourite heads into the $1m contest in outstanding form, having opened her campaign with back-to-back wins in the $1 million Inglis Sprint (1200m) at Flemington Racecourse and Victoria Racing Club and the Alexandra Stakes (G3, 1600m) over the Melbourne Racing Club mile.

Danny O'Brien Racing deliberately bypassed Sydney’s autumn carnival to target the Oaks and, after drawing barrier five, the in-form trainer grew in confidence that his exciting filly can justify her place at the head of the betting markets.

“She has come back very well this prep,” said O’Brien. “Both starts she has won, then she trialled up really well and this was always her target for the autumn. We specifically didn’t get her ready for Sydney because we wanted to have a crack at this race, over 2000 metres, and everything’s gone to plan so far.”

O’Brien, who won the South Australian Derby (G1, 2500m) with Widden Stud's Russian Camelot (Camelot) back in 2020, revealed that a trip north to Brisbane Racing Club to contest the Queensland Oaks (G1, 2200m) is potentially on the cards for Getta Good Feeling.

“She’s fit and well, and I’m sort of half minded that if she won the Oaks in Adelaide on Saturday, then we’d take her to Brisbane for the Oaks up there,” he said. “I thought I’d rather have another run up my sleeve for later, rather than get another one into her now.”

Not many people who are in the racing industry would agree PVL is doing a great job right now. You can do a good job in the beginning but when you loose checks and balances like now due the the surrounding of sycophants the results are lame. All dictators start well. NSW get only 30% of the gambling proceeds Govt takes the rest, Vic gets 50% QLD gets 80% to put back into racing so he has done nothing to increase or match the quota. Of the funds coming in he is investing in real estate not the infrastructure that is the content and smooth running of the sport. There isn’t one race course that is up to scratch-country, provincial or metropolitan. It is shameful and in some cases dangerous. Any funds they do get is a loan which is what he uses to make them all pull their forelock. If you look at the main content of the letter most of it is noise, but the fundamental issue is that ATC and the Save Rosehill worked with Mark Latham in the inquiry and he is the one person that dared to put PVL on the spot. So this is revenge which is certainly not good governance. It also doesn’t make any sense. Under the previous chairman ATC was in the red for over $7m. This AGM reported only a loss of $2.5m so this crew has done a lot to improve the bottom line. Without the cash spent and the distraction on the Sell Rosehill spin there would have been no loss. They have $29m cash at bank and $400m in assets excluding Rosehill. They aren’t broke. There is no financial reason to bring in an administrator. The ATC board need the time to get back to governance of business as usual. A man’s effectiveness needs to be judged on the whole 20 years not just some early wins.
Pony racing which encourages new kids into the love of the sport got no support, national thoroughbred week which showcases the welfare of the horse, got no support. Worse the women who started it. All volunteers got legal letters sanctioning their efforts. ATC board are all volunteers. PVL gets over $1m to throw darts at them. Not a fair fight. Not good management, and a distraction for all in the industry loving our horses and trying to make a living. If you think he is doing an amazing job you haven’t been fact checking and are just reading the tabloids he supports.
