PUISSANCE DE LUNE Just how good is this horse!!!!
His win in the Bendigo Cup was excellent and then he was sensational at Flemington when winning the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2600) on the last day of the 2012 Cup Carnival.
That day he won by six lengths with Bossie standing high in the irons as he cruised home. What was even more remarkable was that his last 600m was faster than the sprinters that day.
Put aside he came in March and dead heated for first in the Blamey Stakes 1600m and would have bolted in if he had secured a run earlier. He was held up virtually the length of the straight that day.
He then has some bone chips removed and resumed today in the Lawrence Stakes 1400m and after tailing the field until the 250m burst through with Bossie again standing up in the irons.
He is being kept at wfa races including the Cox Plate to ensure he gets into the Melbourne Cup with a nice weight.
Can he become the seventh horse to win the Cox Plate - Melbourne Cup double? The other six to do so were: Makybe Diva, Might And Power, Saintly, Nightmarch, Phar Lap and Rising Fast.
Can't wait to see this impressive grey race again.
