Watched this race with great interest after catching a brief glimpse of Bart's mare blitzing them in the Memsie two weeks ago.
Excuse the 20/20 hindsight, but she was always going to be a risk @ the Valley. In the run she never settled at all, while Fields of Omagh had the run of the race and looked the winner a long way from home. Despite the muddling pace, MM got to the line very strongly and still nearly got the bickies, despite the Lindsay Park star being virtually presented with the race on the home turn.
Le Zagaletta ran his usual honest placing.
I wonder what sort of program the maestro's got in store for his current star. There's a Group 1 WFA race @ The Heath on Guineas Day that looks perfect. I'd suggest he pick up some prizemoney there, then run her dead in the McKinnon. She's been pitchforked into the Tuesday race with 52 kg.
Then again, someone told me she's entered in the Cox Plate.
Going on today's run, I reckon Bart would do better to aim her for Flemington ... giving the Valley a wide berth.
