WELL what can we say? A fantastic effort to miss the start settle a clear last circle the field from the 600m extremely wide and still finish on their hammer!!
THEN was sensationally scratched after the race with stewards ruling he was not afforded a fair start!!
BUT (wait a minute there's more) he now still needs to qualify for a start in the Melbourne Cup!!!
AND after all that I DIDN'T back the winner! PHEW!! |
