Interesting thread here guys... I have to agree with Tarbs about the track condition at least. why would anyone have the sprinklers working on a dead track? Excellent prefers firmer ground and the connections were hoping for high winds, sunny day and a dry track...i dont know about On A Jeune..but is is shades of Moorabbin footy club and the heavy watering the night before every home game, when St KIlda were wooden spooners, and used the mud to slow down the opposition.

Makybe Diva won easily and had everything going for her. Amazing record now that will be next to impossible to beat or equal. WE are truly lucky to witness such a great horse, and Pharlap is still the better horse in my book.
