It freaked out?

Efficient: [definitely scratched]

{from you know who]

"Runs into the same problem as Miss Finland did in the Cox Plate – these horses are better off racing against their own age. You wouldn’t put your 12-year-old son in the pool against Ian Thorpe for he would be no hope. Nothin’ Leica Dane was placed in Melbourne Cup after winning the VRC Derby, but Nothing Leica Dane was a class horse that came out of vintage year of 3YO’s that included Octagonal, Saintly, Filante and crew. Granted this horse Efficient is promising and should be unbeaten, but he beat a woeful bunch of scrubbers in the Derby and in the AAMI Vase. This is an ordinary Melbourne Cup field, but I don’t expect this horse to run in the first 6."

Tawqeet is not a [true] stayer acording to it's breeding. The last 200m will test this bloke.

Correct. It is scratched.

Retired or retarded? Much the same. I'm retired...

Thanks for the welcome Raw Instinct and Glenn.
I am glad Efficient was pulled out. Hope to seem him up and at them in the seasons to come.
It didn't help me with the Cup tho, had all covered except my early favourite, Delta Blues!
I hate hype, it always influences me, I was so keen on the Sumii campagn because they brought the horses out early and did the prep, typical of Japanese thoroughness....how did I forget it in the event???
I like the morality of the American system Glenn, we have too many trainers and camps that wreck horses for temporary glory and prizes. Won't name them, but it is deplorable.
Won't comment on the morality of your current Administration in the White House tho, then again considering ours maybe I shouldn't (winks)
I am here to learn, I love it when people post reasons for their tips, the way Maveric described the race and bias, the trends of the runners....this is the stuff I want to learn.....altho being thrown a big odds winner is also welcome(laughs)
Thanks again for the welcome!
