In my opinion what this shows is how competitive the top level racing is in the country at the moment. In all honesty the horses winning arn't exactly bad horses, they have all shown some sort of form in Group 1 races at some time in their career before their wins this prep.

Danleigh - 2nd Galaxy, 1st All Aged Stakes, 5th Doomben 10000, 2nd Stradbroke
Heart Of Dreams - 1st Cadbury Guineas
Turffontein - 3rd Doomben 10000 (08), 3rd sir rupert Clarke, 2nd VRC Classic
Efficient - 1st Derby, 1st Melb Cup
Whobegotyou - No explanation required
Allez Wonder - 3rd oaks (imo this horse just needs a good track to be competitive at the top level)
Starspangledbanner - Only one G1 race before this and failed in that but should have been unbeaten this prep and the only question was would he get the distance)
Irish Lights - No explanation needed
Viewed - to many to talk of, the trainer is a master at setting horses for a big race....


It looks pretty ovious that getting so many good horses together any of them can win on their given days, if every horse could run up to it's best performance every run this game would be so much easier wouldn't it
