Hey all,just home from the traditional Cup Day bbq & what a result.
Genuinely excited about what this means for the Great Race.
I know all the locals will be bitching about the o/s invaders but that was a superb race with two warriors straining every mucle right to the line.
That finish will be showed 1000 times.
A couple of quick observations:
1.What a ride by Iwata,patient but brave enough to look Yeats in the eye just after straightening.How it ran $20 after a C Cup placing,we'll never know.
2.Ollie,would have got off & carried it if he could.Just peaked 50m out.
3.Maybe Better,absolutely fantastic effort.Great trainer B M Smith.
4.Bossy's ride on Zipping from 22,1 out 1 back after 400m.Under pressure after MV rides but that was great.Thats as good as it goes,see Danehill theory.
5.Craig Williams ride on Mandela,gave it every hope.
6.Credit to a couple of roughies,Land N Stars & Mahtoum,both ran out of their skin.
Credit to those who found the winner in our form talk,not often you get so many genuinely keen on a $20 chance.Hopefully a few punters took the tip.
