Maybe the Hussle just had an off day, it happens to all horses. Having said that. I've never called the horse a champion ...yet.

Crash I agree...always allow a good horse at least one below par run.....

i hope he continues , as a punter i'll have a better chance at getting better odds for my selection . Littorio at 11's was incredible overs yesterday and Zipping at 81's ?

Now as a racing lover i couldnt help but be alittle sad the Huss was defeated so badly. The sport needs a champion. I must admit i've hardly backed him at all as he's always to short for me but i've enjoyed watching him win.

I,m with you Maverick .
I hardly ever bet the champs as their odds are generally prohibitive.

Cheers.

If the odds are half decent i'd back him Next time out,

Hussler is still fav to win the cox plate @ around $3.50 ... what the??? i definitely cant seeing him winning it after the turnbull .. why is he still favourite?? Im with the the pomp ruler.

Weight of money. There would already have been a load of money bet on him. And also, as suggested, the thought that this was just his one bad run and he may be able to turn it all around.

I couldnt back anything against the hussler with confidence in the Cox plate. Even though its over 2040 its the sort of race in my opinion will suit him. Im happy with my bets on Littorio and Nom De Jeu in the Caulfield Cup, but i cant pick anything against him at the valley

....was he, dear I say, it the peoples E.I. champion........

Whilst I love racing, I am humbled by the wealth of knowledge here, but in my 45 years on the punt I could write a volume twice the size of War and Peace, full of Weekend Hussler type failures.

I have to take my hat off to Maverick........ outstanding stuff!! Crash didn't you have a bit EW on Zipping?
