After a 3rd in G1 Aust Cup, I say 8 out of 10 they ran 2.00.95 for the 2000m

    In my opinion it was a pass. He ran on well and looked at one stage of winning the race.

    A good experience for him to head east as a 3 yr-old. Let's hope he makes trips to the east more often. He is talented.

    Had he been ridden better he would of won the Australian Guineas. I think connections should be happy with what has happened so far.

    Cheers,

    He was very good in the australia cup. Definitely a pass.

    If connections were asked if they would be happy with 2 group one placings, i think tehy would say yes.

    As soon as Piston bagged him you knew he was going to run a blinder in the Cup

    no risk there will be a HUGE offer from HK for the horse

    Prebble did declare after the race he slaughtered it, but IMO made no difference to the winning result, it got knocked down before the 300, and didnt make 1 inch on the winner

    thats a bagging?

    Will admit I gave him no hope today, but cant remember posting that, but was happy to be wrong :lol:

    He went lengths better than I thought he would, way he quickened in that grade was impressive

    I didn't think hed get 2400 prior, on today I'll revise that he'd get the 2400 of a WA Derby no qualms. Hopefully he goes to Sydney, I took the $12s Tenby :wink:

    I think they should really look after this bloke. He has got a great record now with G1 win in WA and placings in eastern states G1's.

    I'd be inclined to putting him away immediately and looking at a return to Melbourne for the spring.

    Great effort should have won more cash whilst over there but dont agree he will not run the trip out of a Derby he carried nothing on Saturday and was peaking on his run at the furlong pole

    Wouldn't the Gr1 Rosehill Guineas over 2000m in a fortnight be the logical next start for him?
    It would look far better on a sires CV than a WA Derby.

    Despite the horses great ability on the track and his lovely looks on type, his pedigree is very woeful. In saying that I think it is a good move by Parnham to bring him back and skittle a weak Derby field then save him for the spring. I would love to see Nifty land a group 1 over east! deserves it!
