When you start talking Phar Lap and Kingston Town you expect a horse to do better than he did against the horses that belted him today.
Champions can overcome unfavourable circumstances when required and to be honest I didn't see Weekend Hussler's situation as any reason for him to be so soundly defeated.
It wasn't as though he got badly checked and almost fell....had to be pulled across heels and forced to start his run again with only 150m to go...in a race like the Australian Cup against Makybe Diva, Elvstroem, Mummify, Pentastic and Delzao....

anyone heard what the plan is for him ?? do they go the Cox ??

I doubt that McDonald would throw their plans on the scrapheap after one loss because he has such a huge opinion of him but if they were to change anything you'd have to think that the Cox Plate over 10f at WFA would suit him better than a handicap at Caulfield over 12f.
On NSW TAB fixed odds he's still favourite (just) at 5/2 while has lost favourtism to Littorio for the Caulfield Cup.
He is 25/1 for the Melbourne Cup....
