Max Dynamite had his chance to pick the winner up, those saying he was unlucky, no it was the opposition that Frankie wiped out that was unlucky. The winner was the best ride of the race, at least as good as any ride in the race. The winner is certainly no ‘nag’ but as I pointed out the curator got it wrong with a biased track. Those who settled back had no hope. In a normal Cup without the bias I couldn’t see the winner running a place, but the owners don’t care they just won a $6 million race. Ed Dunlop and Willie Mullins have it worked out what horse and the preparation that is needed, Aiden O’Brien however is struggling to learn from them… Last 5 starters in the Cup 2008, 18th, 20th, 21st of 22 runners (one runner did not finish), 2015, 16TH and 19th of 23 runners.
Just wondering; if Max Dynamite had’ve won would he have been disqualified because of the interference?
Doubt it, if an offence is subject to disqualfication it would apply to any position it came, not just applied if it finished first.
No they don’t disqualify here, excepting if they weigh in light,in a protest it is relegation. For memory I think here a rider or connections can protest from as far back as 5th, no further back. If it was 5th v 1st and protest upheld, winner goes back to 5th, protesting horse goes to 4th, 2nd horse declared the winner. The same scenario in all other upheld protests, 2nd v 1st; results reversed. Etc, etc.
Who exactly is the winning rider telling to “get stuffed”? Fancy sullying the greatest moment of her career for some ‘burn-the-bra’ nonsensical comment.
Yes Michelle Payne should have saved that for another day…As she was coming back on the winner in an interview she was having a go at some of the owners who wanted to replace her. Where she should be grateful for keeping the ride, now she has always ridden well though is she within the top 20 jocks in Australia, maybe no. Now Michelle saying that as a woman she gets treated differently well she gets a lot of opportunities that male riders of the same ability don’t.Knowing that she gets a lot of rides and wins her share of city races and provincial cups, she was probably earning 300 or 400 k a year before her cup win.
