Carif

This horse got a fair bit of oxygen when alls considered formwise , a winner of a maiden , a C1 , and eventually a Sandown Cup 3200, so after that win , zip! ...but enough runs of promise to give connections ( and punters hope  ) he may well have been gutted after Sandown , went in the wind ? or , raced with a virus , there is a similarity here with a horse of far superior form , who never lived up to the run that could have " made him ", I refer to Maluckyday , never came up again after his MC 2nd , gutted ? virus ? , all part of racing's idiosyncratics , surely , yes/no ? 😩

Kolding also won the Queensland Guineas that day and that Derby was the last race ride of Corey Brown, I was at Eagle Farm that day, saw the fall Corey was involved in, it looked aweful live.
