race 1 today at flemington... he's short at $1.80.
we know he's an outstanding prospect... but he overcooked it last start at geelong over 1500m...
this is a step up to 1800m.
My guess is they let him roll along in front instead of fighting him (McLeod snagged him to 3rd early last time before letting him stride to the breeze again).
horse in the next stall flipped over. Oli got off twice and had it vetted... I would say he thought it copped some backlash... but they started it anyhow.
sat wide no cover.. first horse under pressure and walked across the line.
I think there will be a few unhappy connections after that debacle.
