Hi absolute, re Super kid and Greys Inn, here's their profiles:

Super Kid:

20-4-4-0

Most recent three wins have been:

18-01-2004 Group 1 1600m at Shatin carrying 57.3 kgs, beating Hidden Dragon and Bowman's crossing. Hidden Dragon is a Group 3 winner and is group 2 and 1 placed, Hidden Dragon placed in Group 1's multiple times.

30-05-2004 Group 1 2400m at Shatin carrying 57.3 again, beating River Dancer and Elegant Fashion. (the aussie). Both of those horses are group 1 winners in their own right, and both multiple group 2 winners.

11-02-05 Premier (top Group 1 events in HK) winner in HK beating the Duke and Magnifier, both either Group 1-2 winners or placegetters in their own right.


Greys Inn has only had one HK run, running 2nd to Vengeance of Rain beaten 0.5 lengths. He is a multiple group 1 winner in SAf. Thatday he ran 2nd in HK, Super Kid ran 4th.

Super Kid's run at Caulfield was enormous. 1400m is too short for him, 1600m++ is where he warms up yet first run in Australia he charges home, strongest on line to fail by less than a length behind Barely A Moment, who previous start had run Makybe Diva to a head giving her about 3 kgs weight.

Lad of the Manor has not won a Group 1. He has won three Group 2's but he is arguably at the top of his game right now. Doubt there's any more improvement in him, whereas Super Kid does have improvement, and as I said, Super Kid has won 3 Group 1s.

That's why they're better horses.
