Well well well, first time I have made it on the net since CC day. What a day it was for all the wrong reasons. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing when the 2 favourites were being led away and neither could any of the crowd that were on track. Finally after getting through the tough times of the EI crisis we have the potential superstar of the spring scratched from the barrier. Unbelievable. And what about those who had pre post on Maldivian at odds of $47 at the start of the preperation, thought they were laughing. The majority of people didn't have any thing to cheer for as so much money had been taken on Maldivian.

On the brighter side though, Master O'rielly is a favourite of mine and great to see him win a big race. You can only beat what you are racing against so take nothing away from the win, he won easily. The biggest positive I believe is the jockeys of the first two place getters. Vlad Duric really deserves his success. And the jock of the second place getter James Winks. Doesn't get all the good rides but maby this will be his stepping stone.

For the day I had an ugly one. Just the one winner in the 3rd. Would of been a different story had Maldivian run and won though. I knew CC day is always hard to pick, count myself lucky to get just the one winner.

Hope you did better then me.
