Hi Kenchar,
It was a good run by Super Elegant. I couldn't believe the odds. Super Elegant was a massive overlay for both the win and the place.
Hi Crash, you wrote:
"Hi all, Super Elegant needed another run. Suffered from classic 2nd. up flatness. Would be impossible to catch now. It was a faily weak race anyway. Super Elegent might not have placed otherwise."
I'm not certain where you got Super Elegant as being second up from. This was its fifth run after a four week freshen up. Horses second up are also often very good bets. Horses second up being a risk is just another betting myth that is pushed in the media and yet another rule that many punters follow which helps them to avoid backing winners. Each horse second up needs to be looked at on its merits, and assessed against the field etc. it is meeting.
I agree with you Crash. It was a pretty ordinary Group 2 WFA race. But Super Elegant was racing against THAT field, not another field, so the comment that in a stronger race "Super Elegent might not have placed otherwise" is pretty much off topic. Super Elegant was selected as a strong bet in Saturday's race, NOT in another race.
Cheers, Neil
