    I thought he was paddling a bit when he turned in, but then he turned it on, that’s what a bit of class will do for you. My worries about Oscar Performance throwing it in were right, and One Master did well to finish off late too.

    Surely my luck will run out soon…then again Bobby B is due another winner isn’t he…Abel Tasman step up :D

    I wonder what Freddie Head is thinking right about now, all much of a muchness really, finished very bunched up from the front 4 to the middle pack…if handling the ground I think Polydream would of cruised that.

    Roy Won it nicely Raymo :good: I was a bit unlucky with the 2nds in the 1st 2 races, but been a bit better
    with Sistercharlie and Expert Eye (as per my choices in the Breeders Cup compy). My final 3 are Midnight
    Bisou, Magical and McKinzie. It’s quite a spectacle, well done our cousins from across the pond :good:

    Abel Tasman broke poorly and was never winning, Smith was rousting her from an early stage, completely finished it would seem that’s 2 terrible runs in 2. Monomoy Girl is very classy

    Enable classy as ever, really ground it out at the end as she wasn’t going away and Magical was still right there.

    Great to see Enable win despite Coolmore’s attempts to trap her using Hunting Horn.

    Definitely seconditis Graham :wacko: :wacko:

    How good is Enable? Five wide into the straight and still wins!!
    The pair of them have come a long way clear of the rest!

    She was nowhere near her best again today (probably due to the ground that looks more like a ploughed field) but she had enough class to tough it out.

    Kind of ironic that the ground conditions in the US of all places would have been ideal for a certain retired stablemate of hers.

    Your post brought a smile to my face LD :-)

    My exact thoughts regarding Cracksman.

    She has made history though and done what others like Dancing Brave couldn’t .

    I’m predicting Mckinzie, Catholic Boy, Yoshida, Accelerate in that order…

    I hope you are right with Mckinzie Kez. I think Discreet Lover is overpriced at 40/1 !!

    McKinzie dropped right out, disappointing! Bet on Yoshida instead of Gunnevera based on their last match up god damn it, and I’ve been a fan of Gunnevera since his 2 y.o days…City Of Lights win earlier only franked the form of Accelerate.

    Roaring Lion showed absolutely nothing, barely ridden even on the turn..hated the dirt one would assume. Quite a way for a trainer to win his first BC race. Kicking myself I didn’t back Gunnevera, him and Pavel were my 2 others I selected on Bet365 then removed from slip :-(
