Can see your thoughts well enough. But. Because i own 1 i follow all the Cugats. We are hopeless mud runners coming from U.S. breeding (even though King Cugat was a turf champion.) I didnt think he was well off in that race. Hes a provincial horse at best. I think the all mighty Unitab ratings (tongue in cheek) had him rated at only an 88 aswell. Hes better backed 2nd + 3rd up. A maiden winner at Newcastle and a 0-68 winner at Wyong only >> These City class horses were too good for him in these conditions before they jumped, not to mention he hasnt settled well last 2 races and holding him back might not have been an option today. Just my thoughts.
