He'll probably come out and win the Derby/Cup double now

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing

Freedman advised stewards the horse WILL continue on to the Melbourne Cup

I'm mildly surprised, as I thought that CC run may have burnt him out but I guess if they give him an easy week and allow him to recover he could still run ok in the MC.

I think this fella is a real chance in the Australian Cup this weekend, better than his odds for mine.

Nothing in the stewards report but that was a really ordinary effort by Delphi yesterday.
Whilst not expecting him to win, I’d at least thought he’d put his hand up to be a player in the Tancred Stks in a few weeks with a good effort yesterday. Will be interesting to see if he presses onto Sydney after that effort or is redirected to the Brisbane winter. There’d be some nice races for him in Brissie - Q22, Tatts Cup, etc

The Hollindale, Doomben Cup, Q22 treble would be a good aim for him.

Noticed he’s listed as Spelling on the Racing Aust website, so appears he’s been mothballed until the Spring.

Maybe something has gone amiss? It's a shame as the WFA treble in Queensland would have been right up his alley.

Only last Weds on RSN, Sam Freedman was talking about this horse heading to races like the Naturalism Stks & MV Cup.
But something must be awry with him again, as he didn’t accept for either of the Cups yesterday and now listed as Spelling on Racing Aust website.

I know hindsight is a valuable tool, but it stands out how this fellas form has fallen off a cliff since backing up into the Caulfield Cup and subsequently running in the Melbourne Cup last season, not intended to be critical of the connections as it would be hard to not run him in the CC under those circumstances but maybe a lesson for all involved out of this.

Spring over for Cups hope DelphiDelphi has been ruled out of Cups contention this spring with a tendon injury. The 2021 Herbert Power winner returned to finish 11th in the Heatherlie Stakes but has been sidelined for the remainder of the spring after that first-up run. "He unfortunately did a tendon in that run," explained Sam Freedman, who trains in partnership with his father Anthony. "The first few days he was ok but as the week progressed, he just started to get a bit of filling there. "He's going to be out for 6-8 months, which is frustrating given he has had to put up with a fair bit." |

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

I read an article that popped up on my Facebook news feed that I can't find now, it reported that Delphi is back in work, the majors are to soon for him but they are looking to get him to a staying race somewhere, perhaps over the summer, perhaps the Bagot Hcp at Flemington?

Seeing Manchester United relegated would mean more than words can describe to me.
