i expect somethng would have taken the frontrunner on in the champion stakes but giving credit where it is due i have been very impressed with larry cassidy's riding of late and no doubt his skill had a lot to do with getting the horse home. same as with desert war he almost did the impossible.
also pleased to see danny nikolic ko the jocks in melbourne with a clever and brave ride.

when your're out ridden you are outridden.
also not beefing have had a winning weekend both days. (for a change)
