rollyb 22 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 I wonder if Master Musician would have won a NZ Cup if John or Dexter had been driving him? Portfolio 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil 333 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 I'm not too sure about the 'choker' tag, but Monkey King was certainly a different horse with Rick May on. Another possibility (reluctantly, since he was always one of my favourite drivers) is Bob Cameron in the '74 cup on Young Quinn. A rather impatient drive. racingsouthdude 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil 333 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 mike stormont-delightful lady underestimated hands down and p.n.jones Perhaps, although it could also be argued it was just a really good drive by Jones. After all, Delightful Lady never succeeded in beating Hands Down at Addington, and this race was the closest she ever got.
