Watched race live , I thought Think About It was a gonner , cost 70k earnt 12 million. Id say hes well set up for retirement pampering . Incidently winner of race Overpass put up best display of sprinting ive seen in a few years and imho would have blitzed them in Everest later in card . Connections rolled dice to go in fresh but slot holders passed him by . Consolation 1.2 million in win prize not too shabby . Asfoora Royal Ascot winner really is an also ran in decent OZ sprints . Depth is unreal .
The mighty 15yo (!) Mystic Strike ended his long career with a win in the International Gold Cup this past weekend. He started in $5k claimers on the flat but found his true calling over timber fences and he won just about every big timber race besides the Maryland Hunt Cup and Maryland Grand National. Happy trails to him.
