Lonhro with that much money might make him a good capitalist but definately no champion. Some punters are just a bit desperate for anything they can call a champion.
$$$ do not a champion make or if they do Rupert Murdoch is a "champion" Australian [who just lives in the USA at the moment].

FOO is no champ but better than the rest on the day in one of the weakest Cox plates ever. Won by a horse who has never won a group 1 says it all about the comp. and everything about Lonhro's ability beyond 1600m. in truely run races.

Ho hum, roll on the Melbourne Cup !

Cheers.
