Just read an amusing article by Andrew Eddy, Racing Editor for The Age, Horse-by-horse guide to the Melbourne Cup field For example, his comments re Who Shot Thebarman: "A Kiwi galloper with a solid record of staying performances and a fine lineage to boot. Is a half-brother to the Derby winner Who Strangled The Gateman and his sisters Who Karate Chopped The Tea Lady and Who Elbowed The Tote Sheila were Oaks winners. Can prove himself the equal of his grandsire, Who Squirrel-Gripped The Bookie if he can win this race." |
And Gatewood:
"Now this must be one confused horse. He initially came out from England two years ago and won the Geelong Cup before being transferred to Chris Waller's Sydney stables, where he did not fire a shot in four subsequent runs. Emancipated back to England and suddenly regained his form and his reward for that was transportation back to the colonies." |
