Just a quick addition for you Magical Miss fans. She did inherit her wet track ability from her Dams Sire Spectacular Bid. What a horse he was. 30 starts for 26 wins, 2 places, and 1 show. He must have been off colour the day he ran unplaced. Won US2.8 million up to the early 80's, where he went to stud. He won plenty of races on what they call a "Sloppy Track", and alot of them Group 1's. Can't find any race that he started in that was over a mile and a quarter, but majority of his starts between 1700 and 2000 metres. So ************ed if I know how she will stay. Brilliantly bred though isn't she? Seems perfect for a Cox Plate. In recent years, Oaks winning Fillies have not gone on to even place in a Melbourne Cup, let alone win it. But there was one special one. You have to go back to 65'... The good old days, Light Fingers, and a young Bart Cummings grabbed the prize! In fact, he quinella'd the race with Ziema. When asked after the race for a comment, he replied, "I beat myself"... What a charactor, good on him, hope he can do it again! Cheers...
