but like Tailedoff considered, you might want to fix this.
For starters, the stake of a New Zealand cup is $100,000, where you would get $56,400 not $43K. And secondly, that was a disgrace in what B.Cole had said during his congratulatory speech and what you call a smashing in her "AUCKLAND CUP" win, not "NEW ZEALAND CUP"!
Winning by half a length is in no way, a "smashing". "She smashed em. She smashed em!"- Embarrassing isn't it.
Yup, she does deserve some respect, a win is a win, be it by a nose or by 20L, and $43k is ...WOW...
Now, say what you like, think what you like, we all have our own opinions.
In my opinion, Sergio will have to be the best dog I've seen since Winsome Ashley, Cecilia Llyod and Misty Anna (over mid.dis.) and i think Little Mother could've been n the blue and Sergio in the pink, I still believe Sergio would've beaten her, and honestly, you would think that she should've beat Hailey's Agent, who went HUGE!!!!!! :)
P.S, please forgive me if some of my statistics above are incorrect!
