I know jockeys and trainers go into every race wanting to win it, but if your already guaranteed a start in the BIG ONE why would you want to win this? All you do is get a penalty which will hinder your chances of winning the real cup.

I am the biggest On A Jeune fan there is but i believe todays run will purely be a tune up for the first tuesday in november, and have ruled out any chances of him winning today.

I have had a little EW on Vengo. Thought his last start win over 2300m was effortless and the weight in this race would ensure he is round about come the winning post.

PS. Am i even correct that the winner of this race receives a penalty?
