Distinctly Secret
Sportz,
You doubted the class of this old marvel!
Since we last spoke this 7YO has finished 3rd on 14.9.05 and today ran second to the potentially great horse, Xcellent, paying $7.70plNSW. As I said in my post at the time he has/had at least one more great run in him. His only problem was to run into a horse which is potentially verging on greatness!
I said that I would be on him and I was! He didn't win but the place dividend he paid sure repaid the faith I had in him. Did you notice the change of jockey in the last two runs? He is just about old enough to vote now so we will have to see what connections have in store for him considering that he is a gelding.
As I keep emphasising, class horses will continue to overcome any obstacle put in their way even when facts and figures suggest they have little or no chance.
Cheers.
