You often get a good laugh at some of Phil Purser's race rundowns. I agree with him about the Cup. A class shocker [as is the Brisbane cup which should be a G3] with only 3 runners above the min. weight. The miss Mooney Mooney story is spot on too. Mooney Mooney will be backed into short favoritism for sure. Can't believe some punters don't bother looking up what a horse HAS won [a weak maiden], not just what it NEARLY won. I'll take A Little Naughty in that race thanks.
Some very descriptive writing about the Cup hopes and I love this example:
Quote:
" LESTER THUNDERWING
Wouldn’t win if it started now. The fact that this horse found his way to Queensland shows us that the government needs to reintroduce border guards at Tweed Heads, as the quarantine people would have stopped the vehicle and said, “have you got any fruit, or Lester Thunderwing’s to declare” – then they could have arrested the transport driver and sent him to Siberia for trying to smuggle “dangerous goods” into Queensland!"
Have a good one.
