did any 1st Junior, but probably Riverview, Kings, or Shore, beat their time?

I have heard that they will be using a borrowed empacher from SUBC
3rd Junior seems to be in the works as well. New coach, with the departure of Max P. (former Shore 1st VIII rower), seems to have thrown a spanner in the works.

King's in an Empacher? I have always believed in miracles!

Doubt King's will be more than 5 seconds off the pace and behind Shore.

Chairman,
Whilst this may be true for the 1st VI, 2nd VI, and 3rd VI, I do not necessarily agree with the 4th IV prediction. Eager to attempt to get a clean sweep this HOTR, I would not be surprised to see a strong Ignatius crew contending the 4th IV race. However, the Shore crew also looks quite strong, despite their unfortunate start to their Gold Cup race. This Saturday I expect a strong battle between Ignatius, Shore, and Kings.

AAGPS Eight will be coming out in a few months: This is my best read on it.

JB has really sharpened the ax. It's anyones game on the weekend to be honest.

Is there a particular reason for the numerous St Joseph's rowers? I haven't seen an extremely strong performance for their crew, or at least enough to secure a spot in the AAGPS Eight.

Is the coxswain determined by who wins 1st VIII in Head of the River?
The Prophet

Not always. Mostly yes, however if the AAGPS coach sees value in another cox of a crew that did not win, then there is a chance that coxswain will be selected.

Yes. McGrath (I) was selected in 2018 given Ignatius' shock win over Keenan (E), who in my opinion is the greatest cox to ever preside over an AAGPS Eight.
The Chairman

Every cox since 2015 has been the HOTR winner.
