I think my main point about BASALTICO and why I got stuck into him was because of the ridiculously short pp odds it never deserved. No form guide mentioned the fact that his last start 2nd was in a C2 only worth $40k. nor overall poor form for the last year.

Anyway he won't be making it into the Cup and really should be sent back to Italy. I can't work out why the horse ever came here in the first place [?]
