Nice "get" Chrome, well done. I blackbooked this horse on September the 11th in another thread, and held high hopes it could improve on what it had shown last year when not much went right for it.

I had feature doubles going for over 400k, each way bets @ 250/1, 200/1 & 150/1. I only backed it for a place today due to my concerns with the jockey's ability to ride a "get back" horse in such a big race. Sad to say, my concerns were correct!

Why Peter Montgomerie and the owners decided for Gauci is an absolute mystery. He has proven time and again to be one of the worst "come from behind" riders since M.Clarke.

Cost me a fortune today; cost the trainer and connections a great deal more!

Should never be allowed anywhere near that horse ever again!
