Mattski 176 Report post Posted October 17, 2021 This horse is a beast! Starts from the outside, goes around the first bend 5-6 wide. Takes off from the 800 three wide and smashes them. (I appreciate it wasn't the strongest C Cup field ever). He was a maiden in April as an autumn 4 year old. 5-6 months later he's a super star stayer. Has any horse ever improved so much, so quickly, so late?? Cheers, Matt Baz (NZ), swampfox, Gruff and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Flash 2,132 Report post Posted October 17, 2021 The big question after the CC demolition is how big will the rehandicap be for Melbourne Cup. That said the 2nd horse went huge after a shocker by Craig Williams 3 wide no cover most of the race, a very brave second IMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but given it quit maidens 6 months ago its quite an impost. No European invasion has not helped in that respect. If he wins his only options next prep are WFA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie 1,027 Report post Posted October 18, 2021 I see the stable saying the run took a bit out of him.Sounds like he gone off his tucker a bit and hasnt been cleaning up his bowl as he usually does.Hope he bounces back in next 2 weeks,I'm sure he will.
