Realise that mate, just thought there was some innuendo in the earlier post.

Wow

I'd run him in the Cox Plate. Only gets one chance with the light weight. Would probably be only his 4th run after this freshen up.

Special horse.

Those rules are more mudfy than ever. There are now trainer jockeys now.

Another 100m and he wins by three Must be tempting to go straight into the Guineas. And then, of all the top 3yos in recent years, he looks like a Cox Plate type, even though he's probably picked a bad year.

After the Guineas could he target the Victoria Derby? I see good odds are still on offer there.

I would avoid the Cox Plate/Winx. I remember another outstanding 3 year old - Gods Own trying to go with Makybe Diva from the 800 metre mark & it broke him - never the same.

Very good or great 3 year olds can win the Cox Plate but not up against a freakish older horse IMHO.

Victoria Derby is too soon for him

Tell em he's dreaming

Too far back

I agree Rancher. That was the best field he had race against, by far and he was found wanting.

Last run in Sydney was quite good Shrunk in the Wash, they bet 33s during the week must have give him some hope to take him down, if he draws an ally in the big one he's a definite chance imo.
