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

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? ------------- Manners are of more importance than laws Edmund Burke |

| 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. |
