What took care of Mummify and Elvstroem was the weather and two great horses which were clearly superior over 3200m.

I'm with you Sportz & Eddy.

I've never heard such a crock. And it sounds like he's serious.
Rather than bag horses for beating Starcraft, face facts he has been the big disappointment of the Spring. Had every chance in the Cox Plate, which was his main mission.
Query the owner for his strange prep. Let's just hope that he doesn't stuff up Private Steer.

By the way!!

How did Grand Armee go on Saturday??

And, when did Elvstroem beat Starcraft??????
They only raced each other in the Cox Plate, and I thought your THEORY was only horses that beat Starcraft.

Not sure, when did Elvstroem beat Starcraft? I'm sure it was only in the last month... It may be a crock, but I've been able to eliminate the most in form and competative horses from the big races which have ended up disappointing while I backed the winners. And I'm not a guy.

I think Starcraft was overrated in the Cox Plate. He was beaten by Balmuse and struggled to beat Miss Potential and what have they done this spring? He's still got a lot of learning to do. To me it seems as though he doesn't handle turns very well which is why he takes a while to wind up in the straight. Moonee Valley is definitely not the ideal track for him.

They hadn't raced each other since the AJC Derby (Starcraft won) until the Cox Plate.
So the thoery, is flawed.
And what does "I'm not a guy" have to do with anything?
Facts are facts, whether your a woman or a man.

Miss potential won a group one last start.

Trent 5th November 2004 11:07 PM

It was a pretty average group 1 race except for Alinghi. eg. Skewiff was paying under $10. Skewiff is not a Group 1 horse.
