Hi again Umrum,
Quote:
cheers c.p
interesting comments. i too think lonhro is a champ. i dont think he is better than northerly but we wont get into that all over again.
|
I don't think he is either, but I still don't think his run in the Cox Plate reflected his true ability as he was ridden upside down.
Quote:
the two most worrying things for me are that last year he ran past fields of omagh then F.O.O ran back past lonhro in the last bit of the race.
|
Yes was a worry, but FOO was ridden according to his normal pattern of racing, Lonhro was not.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting he would have beaten Sunline or Northerly, but he wouldn't have been beaten by such a large margin in my opinion.

And i think the distance is a huge query. I think all of his 2000 metres runs have been on class rather than him handling the trip all that well.

Agreed, but we'll find out soon enough. :wink:

when i said the track i more meant the tight circuit rather than the track surface itself
