Just because Lonhro moved up to challenge at the turn does not mean he handled the track.

La Mar: Lonhro's defeat had little to do with either the track or the conditions. Horses that have an adversity to a certain track simply do not run the sectionals that Lonhro ran in the Cox Plate, while his previous dead track form was six wins from six starts.

The answer for his defeat is elsewhere such as an inablity to sustain his run.

Notice how both races were run just after rain had fell and that Lonhro was 3 wide in the Doncaster and still finished 5th or 6th and that day at Randwick was totally bias towards leaders.

I wouldn't call the last 600m of those 2 races as sprints home, both were one of the slowest 600m's in both races previous history.

La Mer: You need to check your facts, the last 600m sectional in this year's Doncater was more than comparable with other in years gone past, i.e. this year's on a slow track it was 35.63s, while in 2002 on a good track it was 35.41s, in 2001 also on a good track it was 35.52s, while again on a good track in 2000 it was 36.06s.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought every Group 1 race in Australia was a major race regardless of the amount of prizemoney on offer.

La Mer: If you honestly believe that then you are sadly misguided. There are approximately 65 Group 1 races run in Australia during the season and they are not all majors by any stretch, i.e. The Goodwood Handicap is at best about group 3 level, while the Sydney Cup and the Metropolitan are about group 2 level at best, but there are many others.

Leaving aside the Golden Slipper, it is generally accepted that the four open-age majors in Australia are the Doncaster Handicap, the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups and the Cox Plate. It is arguable one or two others could be included, but the fact remains that Lonhro has failed to win any of the 'big four', the best being his third placing last Saturday.

It is also considered by many that besides being able to win one or more of the majors at WFA, a champion horse should have also won a group 1 handicap, preferably one of the big four majors, carrying weight. Only two horses in the last decade have really met that criteria, Sunline and Northerly, while it is arguable that perhaps Might and Power also fits that criteria in winning the Melbourne Cup, but he only carried 56kgs, unlike Sunline's 58kgs in winning the Doncaster or Northerly's 58kgs in winning the Caulfield Cup.

If my memory serves me correctly, I can think of only one horse in the last decade or thereabouts who has truly worn the champion tag and didn't win a major handicap race and that was Better Loosen Up, but I guess his Japen Cup win makes up for that. Regards.

Hi all,
I dont care who's a champion or who is'nt.
All I know is I followed the thread on the cox plate and it seemed to come out as clanga or foo, I backed them both and thanks to everyone out there for their insight.

Cheers :lol:

La Mer,

I don't believe it was the dead track either, but if you don't believe it was the Valley, how do you account for all Lonhro's wins over 2000m where he could sustain his run in faster sectionals and much faster overall race times than were run on Saturday even on dead tracks.

There can only be one answer as I indicated.

On the sectionals that FOO ran, he will not finish in the first 5 in the Japan Cup.

When Lonhro wins his races his last 600m usually is around 33-34secs, his Cox Plate last 600m would have been around 37-38secs, thats a massive difference even on a dead track.

I cannot honestly believe that any racing fan could forget last years Yalumba where Lonhro ran down Sunline who had set a fair tempo and a 4-5 length lead into the turn and also run around a sub 35sec last 600m over 2000m and beat the wonder mare, if thats not a sustained run then FOO will win the Japan Cup by 10 lengths.

Quite right La Mer i apologize i was actually thinking of a different race altogeher, but it doesn't answer the Cox Plate sectionals.

I totally agree that there are more then a few Group 1 races out there that are Group 2 races at best, but the fact is they are rated Group 1's which makes them on par with the Cox Plate and Caulfield Cups.

If these "Super Races" are better then other Group 1's then should be catoregised as such.

So if you owned a horse that won a Goodwood Hcp you would be going around saying your horse isn't a Group 1 Winner???

it seems everyone except lonhro fans can decipher the difference between a major G1 and a G1.

what 3 races do you think 99.999999'% of the population would most like to win.

I would think it would rank
1. Melb cup
2.cox plate
3. cauf cup

another point of view might be the purist or breeder

1. cox plate
2 golden slipper
3. doncaster

point is - there are majors

What I looked at is how long can a horse.......keep getting those 1's


I have done a quick analysis of horses going into a Sat Metro race winning their last 4 races without a spell. I also required their last start to be a Sat Metro race. (I can't specify all 4 last starts to be Sat Metro or I would have)

Results are below.
