Me either. Wondered why he ventured east on not such a high profile day in Melb.
Now I know why.
William is not driven by money moreso success as we know, however a quick tally of his winning percentages for the treble without slings(there would be some come his way i'm pretty sure, is Wally a slinger?)but incl. riding fees over 19K rolls in..a nice days work champ.
Matters little now but maybe that Randwick track was worse than a good 4..horses struggled to break 1.10 in all the 1200m races only one went just under, the last race.The Oaks were run in 2.33.5 pretty slow and as mentioned the QE 2.05 maybe they walked in both the staying races contributing but something not quite right with the times all day really.
