Am I missing something here? Was there something wrong with the Lightning Stakes?

On Twitter Djebel said: "That Lightning Stunk today. Boat race"

Djebel, what's the issue? Did you lose money on the race? 

Do you not rate any if the horses in the field?
Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers

Because the lead up to the event people were saying it was the best Lightning Stakes field in years.

Think the race will rate a lot higher than that rubbish sprint in Dubai won by a Euro. Think a couple of ours ran a drum, that would not get a start in a Group race here. European sprinters are trash. 

Laundry basket please.

Nature Strip had 900 clear uninterrupted metres to make up, what, a length and a half?

Most of us enjoyed it Jamal.  Even if it was a tad rough the good horses stood up and showed they are back to race.
