Then the excuse is that Beadman isn't a good rider ?

From the man himself after the ride: "I couldn't have asked for much more from the Horse. I didn't have any more gears left and they just kept going and going." ie. He isn't a genuine horse beyond 1600m. and I was hoping for a sit and sprint.

Lonhro couln't have found a weaker or slower Cox than last Saterday.

As far as MV being an on the pace and leaders track ... that describes almost ALL Aust. tracks and where the most winners come from at the 400m. anywhere in Oz. and if the horse is good enough they can win from behind too as they regularly do everywhere including MV.

On the subject of Champs. I'll concede that it can be a subjective choice and one man's Champ. can be another man's dog. That's Racing.

Cheers.
