I expect we agree that WH was the better run and better than the margin reflects.

My comments were only based on the fact i had read in so many different places that Weekend Hussler was 3 wide the entire trip but he wasnt. My thoughts were if Pompeii ruler hadnt come in on Weekend hussler and had to rebalance slightly it would have been a very good race between the two. This weekend will be the deciding race on how good this horse is stepping up to 2000m and against probably the best field he has faced. Im not a knocker of the horse but i would love to see it get beaten, just for the simple fact that im an aussie and i love to see the underdog get up  Just like i was barracking for Hawthorne last week for the same reason
