Absolutely loved this! Not sure if it got any mainstream News coverage but it should have.
Interesting all the comments around poor judgement from other riders.
This was a 'freak' effort so pretty hard to point blame at the other riders in my opinion.
Let's face it - we are all talking about it because of it's abnormality. 99 times out of 100 such a lead results in the horse walking over the line, so for POJ to maintain the strong gallop to the line was incredible.
The only ride I would comment on is the brilliance of Declan Bates - in this instance his nickname 'Master' is fitting, rather than the funny connotations of it.
Seemed to let her do her own thing, gave her a little rest before the rise and then they were history.
One thing I do wonder is he she had wobbled up the straight, and finished out of the money, if Maher would have had a 'face like a half sucked Throatie' like he did with the Jimmysastar ride 🤔
One of the great G1 wins of all time and we should celebrate the positive side of it 👍
 
 

The 2.02 time is misleading.   Look at the splits at the top of the replay and the first 200 is 15.14 despite her coming out of the gates like a bull!!   Then she racks off mid 11s. I think the distance was circa 2040 (I have no idea why - the rail was out on the bend but that doesn't explain 40m). In summary;
- This was an exceptional performance against quality opposition. Nothing the other jocks could have done. The race was over by the 1000!
- In October Jenni was 3 wins from 22 starts. Now she's racked up 4 G1s and produced an amazing performance. I'd love to know the back story - on her third trainer and didn't race for 10mths at one point.
- What amazing viewing! I backed a loser and was screaming for Jenni at the 300. Poetry in motion

I think good on Debbie and the family.  I'd much rather see people reinvesting their money in our sport (like the Lindsay's) than squirreling it away. And great to see a special horse going to a special trainer.

Thanks Shane, never hidden on this site and like to try and see the positive side.
Things aren’t 100% obviously, but don’t get carried away, see what the powers to be come up with.
They might be just as frustrated as what you people are….
The Strathayr team are on their way, they won’t walk away from their responsibilities, sure things will work out and as you say Shane, it will be the best surface in the Country.
Amazing how people hide behind a barrier, got something to say, put your name to it…..

Some cynical buggers on here……
We all know Debbie Kepitis, along with the Tighe and Treweeke families, owned Winx and are now $27m better off because of it.
The attachment to the mare is obvious, and she was quoted as saying they did not intend to bid on the filly, but in recent weeks the family had realised how strong that attachment was, and the likelihood of her going overseas prompted the change of mind.
I think it is brilliant she put her hand up to keep her in Australia. Winx had already lost her first foal by I am Invincible which almost cost her life, and there was no guarantee she would have another one. ( Good news today that she is in foal to Snitzel  ) 
Woppit Bloodstock and Chris Waller will handle her as they did Winx. Whether she attains heights anywhere near Mum, time will tell, but even so the opportunity to carry on the bloodline down the track was no doubt another reason to keep her in Australia.
Good on them.Wish them all the best whichever way it goes.

I've listened to Dan in a few trots meets etc. I think this guy is a real talent and totally agree with Insider   

Thanks for the update Insider.  Hopefully they can at least get the track in top shape for the spring carnival.
