Crash they canned that about 12-18 months ago letting trouble horses in later because trainers were rorting the system just to get the horse in last, The comment to say this horse would have walked in is a bit absurd te horse who finished 2nd beat him fair and square at equal weights a couple of starts back and although i can see that Maldivian beat Master O'Rielly by 6 lengths a couple of starts back any fool could have seen how slow they went in that race Master O'Rielly did a good job to even finish 3rd in the race as he made a move from about 1000m out and made up a stack of ground it was only natural the horse with the soft run in front would kick away once they straightened.

Keep in mind that was the 3rd fastest Caulfield Cup in history so they weren't just jogging along which Maldivian has gotten away with a few times he may have won the race we will never know but to say he would have won eased down or "walked in" is ridiculos.
