Verry Elleegant

It looks as though it will be a winnable arc this year imo. Still getting soft tracks in many parts of France after a very wet first half of the year.

She would be right in it. As would addeybb if he wasn't a gelding!

Thanks.

We know you're like Verry Elleegant. We also know you rate her highly. Luckily the handicappers don't rate her that highly which again highlights my point that you're not a very good judge of horses. As I have told you time and time again - you need to not be so emotional. Cheers. Having said all of that...Verry Elleegant is a good horse...just not as good as you think she is. The ratings will also agree with me and disagree with you. However lets hope she heads to Europe at some stage. She may do what you have wanted for months and months and win over there. For your sake....I hope she does mate.

Unfortunately you are emotionally invested against Verry Elleegant. You anchor against her & have a strong confirmation bias.

She has won 9 Group 1's, won at every prep since being a 3yo & won from 1400 to 2400. She is either verry good or is a champion.

Maybe remove the emotion, ratings are only one tool & look at what is in front of us.

Peace out :)

Should be a cracking race on Saturday. Can�t wait.

Clearly not 100%.

Chapada went past her like she was stuck to the fence

Clearly injured?

Seem to remember she won a Group 1 at her previous start.

surely not being serious?? wouldn't be surprised if she has eiph.

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

That's her worst run for a long time. Mmmm

On March 27, the day Verry Elleegant beat Addeybb in the Ranvet, Incentivise was a 16L 8th in an 1850m Toowoomba maiden at start 3 (having finished unplaced at his first 2 starts). The winner, Golden Goal, is $19 in a Toowoomba C1 tonight after finishing 7th at Nanango picnics LS

He was unlucky that day.

reductio ad absurdum

Enormous run in the Plate. I reckon Lane would have thought he had them on toast at the 600m. Both his main rivals inside, running into tiring horses. But...alas... the heavens opened and they get a dream run through. Don't know how she was $26 for the Melbourne Cup shortly after the plate. Now into $13.

I don't think she was that comfortable at the Valley. Cup should suit.

She�s just been a notch below herself this campaign I reckon. Everything in her favour yesterday with the horses falling over in the last week, a suitable track and still couldn�t get the job done. The VE of the previous two campaigns probably wins that IMO.

Will have to give Incentivise 2kg in the Cup on a WFA scale. No. The McKinnon looks a better option.

My sentiments exactly, the VE I know lets fly and just wins from that position. Even Lane thought he was the winner. Not going as well this prep.
