Blue 1,080 Report post Posted March 12, 2018 I don't think there are words to describe what the connections might be feeling. High hopes and disappointments are part of the racing game but the latter can run very deep sometimes.

Insider 3,874 Report post Posted March 12, 2018 So sad. Deserved to win the Karaka million too. I don't know how she was only promoted to 4Th. Gut wrenching for the owners and after [just] watching the video on Lindsay Park [on another thread] I really question the training facilities in this country, especially in the north were up to 600/700 horses can be in work at one time!
