Benzini has an international rating of 110, why is it that high?
|

Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers

No need to get upset.
Benzini was a late addition to the field. Celebrate the story, and the little guy. |

Owner/trainer living the dream. Nice work. Pretty sure I backed him when he won the Brisbane Cup. It was a tough honest win.

Conceived in Australia, born and raced in NZ, now (as has already been said) allowing the owner/trainer to live the dream.

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

I don't know why everyone thought he would run terrible, ran a little better than I had him rated (8th-9th) but the trip was never going to be an issue for him like it was for others, would have been keener to lay Big Orange the place then Benzini if I had to.

Rosie Myers very happy with Benzini's run & without 7 laying in on him in straight felt he could've run 3rd. She quipped, "maybe next year" |

Why didn't she protest then? The 7 ran 3rd. |
