Why is racing beyond 1600m poor in Australia compared with Europe.
I have offered up my reason for that, what is your reasoning. Stop telling us it is gelati beyond 1600m and tell us why it is so.

I follow ratings. Thats actual science and data behind them. What do you follow or use? Everyone (well most) knows European racing is the best in the world at 1600m+. The ratings say that. Time you acknowledged it. But you only acknowledge ratings when it suits your view.

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

The more you tell me to stop, the more ill keep saying it. Listen, when B and C Grade horses from Europe win G1 1600m+ races in Australia, that tells you all you need to know about how poor depthwise Australian racing sadly is at 1600m+

What the kiss has that got to do with the reasoning as to why they are or aren't superior to us at 1600m and beyond.

Djebel - its a pretty poor look if B and C Grade horses from Europe can win 1600m+ G1 races in Australia? Australian racing is in a bad position right now and has been for at least a decade. The depth is not there at 1600m+ or are you simply in denial? In case you didn't know, there's levels to this, there's levels to world racing and there is no way Australian racing is strong depthwise at 1600m+ in the world. Sprinting - yes. Although I reckon this current sprinting era isn't as strong as previous sprinting eras in Australia....your thoughts?

You are not the sharpest tool in the shed are you.
Plenty of A graders have come down here and gone backwards and or plateaued. Some have clearly thrived. Are you going to tell us that Constantinople and Michalengelo were not A graders up there ?

Once again abusing me. Keep abusing me and I'll keep calling your garbage out. Ball is in your court Djebel.
You've cherry picked two horses. Now I put this to you...how many B and C Grade horses from Europe have done well in Australia. Start your list...it will take you a while to compile.

I've already told you why. B and C Grade horses from Europe come to Australia regularly (either still trained internationally or based in Australia) and win G1s at 1600m+.....now tell me....how many B and C Grade horses from Australia would win G1s in Europe at 1600m+ as regularly??

THAT is not telling us WHY.
THAT is just shoving nonsense down our throats. Let's get one thing straight, Zaaki, Hartnell, Cape Of Good Hope, Benbtl and Avilius were not B graders up North. Tell us, Which fully established B and C graders have come down here and won group 1 races ?

They head to Australia because they are not up to it in Europe at 1600m+. Its a cash grab here in Australia. Europe know this so they send them down here in droves.
Why??? Ill tell you why...because racing at 1600m+ in Australia is poor depthwise.....why.....cos Australian racing is obssessed with speed. Not stamina.

Superbly talented? A horse that's won 7 races from 35 starts hahaha. Time you gave up on Dalasan/Dalafail and focused on another horse but I assume you back the horse all the time which means he isn't winning you much money. Plenty of other horses to keep an eye on.

He is a tremendously talented horse & his race record clearly shows that with close placings in major races like the Doncaster, Epsom & QE Stakes. Not to mention banking a whopping $3.47m in prizemoney.
But it is surprising that hes rarely been raced beyond 2000m. His only 2 runs at a distance have been a great 2nd place in the SA Derby behind a star in Russian Camelot & a sound 11th in the Caulfield Cup only 5 lens off VE.

In hindsight maybe they should have gelded him. Hard to see him winning a G1 and becoming a stallion prospect.

I am sorry to say that after the drought there is a time when you have to face facts that the dust bowls Oklahoma just are not good to grow crops.
That was perfect placement today he loomed up to go straight past them and three horses passed him in the straight. He is the ultimate herd runner and while he has given his connections some excitement and plenty of financial recompense, he is from now on a non-winning option in any race. The placement (distance and weight), the ride and the run he had he should have went straight past that group of horses but he just wanted to run with his friends.

Hope they get him Voyager.
Nothing wrong with his preparation and placement yesterday, however he's clearly no longer in for the tussle. And given that, to race for yet another season as a 6yo would appear to serve no useful purpose whatsoever.

DALASAN (J. Holder) – laid in, in the straight. Rider report that the horse travelled well; however,
was disappointing in its finishing effort. A post-race veterinary examination revealed that the
horse had been galloped on, on its off hind leg. First aid was administered.

Group 1 performer Dalasan has narrowly escaped serious injury with his trainer admitting he was "very lucky" it wasn't life-threatening. Back in class, Dalasan failed to fire in the G3 R A Lee Stakes (1600m) at Morphettville last Saturday, but co-trainer Leon Macdonald says the five-year-old had excuses. The son of Dalakhani finished sixth in a field of 13, 5.3 lengths behind winner Belle Plaisir. "He got galloped on fairly badly," revealed Macdonald, who co-trains with son-in-law Andrew Gluyas. "It's his offside hind tendon that's the issue, it's not life-threatening, but it wouldn't want to have been any closer or it would've been. (He's) very lucky. "It would've been as they came down the side I think, but I don't really have the full idea. "We haven't taken the bandage off since Saturday night, but when we do, we'll get more of an idea." Despite the setback, Macdonald says the plan is for Dalasan to race on, with a spring program to be mapped out for the horse in time. "It's too early to tell, but the idea is he'll go forward into the spring providing he's ok," Macdonald said. Dalasan has built a reputation as a gallant competitor at the elite level, despite not yet winning one, having netted four placings from 19 attempts. Macdonald days he's at a loss to explain the poor showing from Manhatten Times in Adelaide's feature sprint, the G1 Goodwood (1200m). The lightweight chance finished third-last, more than 11 lengths adrift of all-the-way winner Lombardo. "No idea," Macdonald said when asked for a reason behind the lacklustre showing. "He didn't run well, and I can't see any reason why. "His work leading up to it was excellent, it was a funny sort of race, a lot of horses ran badly. Those horses that got back didn't really perform." Manhatten Times has been sent to the paddock ahead of a spring return, where the son of Manhattan Rain will likely step out in trip. Another Award is also bound for the paddock after failing to win the final race of the carnival - the G3 Proud Miss (1200m) - despite starting a warm favourite ($3.30). "I thought she was disappointing as well," Macdonald said candidly. "She might've gone one too many, who knows, she's been really good leading into it. "She ran ok, but I would've expected her to run what would've been a pass mark of running second." |

Dalasan wins the Leon Macdonald Stakes for Leon. Long time between drinks but good to see him back in the winner's stall. |
