Just watched a replay of the Bunbury Cup , i hadnt seen it before , won some very nice money the previous Sunday , thus got over confident and had a horror week on the punt , so come Sat night i needed a spell from the old giddy goat ( tote)
But the Bunbury Cup that was a very good race
My observations , the best run in the race was the winner , it did a fair bit of work 3 wide to get the breeze - and it was in the breeze for over a lap , so all credit goes to the winner
The 2nd best run in the race was Larvoe Joe , beaten just over 2 metres , they came home in 55.8 , and everyone knows how hard it is to make ground out wide at Bunbury , came from by 1 by 4 and was interfered with at the bell , sensational run and in my opinion was probably its career best effort , given the track and sectionals and where it came from
As for J Young not opting for the sprint lane , id give her the benefit of the doubt . Some sprint lanes , like Bendigo and AP - they are nice and spacious and give the impression 5-6 horses could get through their . Where as the Bunbury one looks cramped - and i reckon she thought i havent got enough time to get through , even if it ends up their is enough room to get through which was no guarntee , Pinny Tiger did get through but it is much easier in hindsight of course
