Don't know how they can.  He's not getting any younger and he seem out of breath for alot of that song.

I’m sure you’ll stay Jamal, and you should, but just to be clear, is that close of business Australian Eastern Standard Time or WA time?

Don't ever leave Jamal.
We all have time to waste , whatever the reason.
Just try to be more stupid than the last person .   It is easy and rewarding.
     How else would you get to meet Whale , Me and PT.   Eventually

  Dunno what you are on, but I wouldnt mind trying it .

If we break it down to science, for what she truly is, she would have won in Europe by massive margins. No horse in the world could ever match her lungs and cadence in thicker heavier going. The short fast strides she takes, with an increasing cadence, its suited to heavier tracks, no different to a human, you take shorter faster strides in the wet, not longer strides. If she ran on a heavy track for the Melbourne Cup, even with 59kg or more on her back, its mindboggling how far she could have won by. Equally as mindboggling, is she could beat top sprinters at 1200m if she was asked to. One in a billion. Amen. One of the few Aus horses that seams to want those conditions. I truly believe she would be rated 3-5lbs higher if given more suitable races. Take Cracksman anywhere else in the World and he is a G2 horse. They dodged UK firm-good which is a soft anywhere else. Enable would win the BMW here once a year and be spelled for the rest of the year. Winx runs all distances, all going, all tracks and without a pacemaker. Conservatively she would be in the top 10 horses anywhere anytime. Think you are being harsh on Enable. She was not saved for the Arc she was ill for the first half of the year.

I am being harsh, but 2000m seems to be short for her over there, which means she would not be suited over 2000m here. She like Cracksman are dominant in the UK because that’s where conditions are optimal. If the Breeders Cup is dry, let’s see what she rates there.
