This is imo one of the most memorable races of any year. Personally I look forward to it as much if not more than the Melbourne Cup.

Leaving aside Bonecrusher/Waverley Star there are so many many many more great and at times unbelievable finishes and hopefully some will be posted ( Super Impose/ Better Loosen Up and many more),

In the meantime some recent statistics:

5 out of last  5 winners  finished no further back than 3rd in their previous start

4 out of last 5 winners have been 4yo’s

4 out of last 5 winners have started over 2000m+ in their previous start

4 out of last 5 winners have been 4th or 5th start into their preparation (Adelaide being exception)

Cant wait to do some proper form but based on present commentary that suggest he is many lengths better than Adelaide well....yep its Highland Reel ...that races into "equine immortality"

Like the odds of GALLANT HARMONY.  Horse is a flying machine, and should get the sit just behind the leaders, and will be strong through the line.  Big odds for mine.

Found MAWAHIBB on top, but can't touch those odds.  No bragging rights there.  So having a go at a couple again.

WELL SIGHTED seems ridiculous price.  Met the favourite 2 starts ago, beaten .4 lengths, taking .5 seconds off it in the final 200m, with this race an extra 200 metres.  Fav will be right in it, but no reason this should be paying 20s, vs 2.50 the fav.

The other one, is TRUCULENT.  Will be last rounding the turn, and capable of a big sprint.  Last start was wide the trip and pulled down, but ran splits of 10.68 10.61 11.16 from the 1000 to 400.  Holds off a bit, those sort of times well good enough to get passed them here.  Wouldn't be touching it sub 10, but 260+ looks pretty nice to me.

nice work Kami

maybe got the quinella then in the Toowoomba race after that going on the names  Wink

what a terrific Cox Plate day and a magnificent win by the mare ... wow ... like Nuggest said 'unreal acceleration' defines her

the interesting runner imo was the third horse .. aidens ... must have lost about 3 litres of electrolytes mucking up behind the gates in the last few minutes before the jump .. great effort it

those that remember the good ol ...  ALHIGH/STAR OF THE MAGI ... days (whiskers might remember) when the MASTER was tipping us some big winners/odds from the aquanita link will remember the filly  ... HVEGER

alhigh tipped it to us when tony vasil took her over the Adelaide for the Oaks .. alhigh gave her a top chance in the race

and she ran third for us at ... 50/1 on here .. great days

well HVEGER is the dam of Highland Reel .. small world .. and a link to Oz again for Aiden ..

no doubt Hartley will commend us on our breeding stock  Grin

so Winx a legend .. and highland reel a historical link .. on probably our best day of raing in Australia (Cup Day more fun but Cox day the pinnacle of class)


and SPY will be over the moon you would think .. Winx made all the others today look 'near' 2nd rate today ...

and over 2400m last autumn ... GUST OF WIND ... relegated Winx ... to the second class in the Oaks

still some great racing ahead of us in Oz  Love
