G'day kenchar,

Although Super Elegant was beaten it was not from lack of trying by ace jockey Greg Childs. At the turn he was behind a number of horses but he summed up the position in an instant and drove his horse through a gap which presented itself and rode his horse very hard to the line only to be beaten by that old marvel La Zagaletta. This shows you why it is best to concentrate your bets to those runners which are ridden by masterful jockeys. Sure, he didn't win on this occasion but more importantly, Childs gave his mount every hope.

Cheers.
