She deserves her own thread.
From the thread on 1/8/20 I wrote:
Any thoughts on Clairvoyance going 6 lengths faster than Floyd? Times say that Clairvoyance would have been 4 lengths in front of Mervyn at the 600m mark (Mervyn was 2 lengths clear of the open company sprinters at that point).
At a very rough approximation, Floyd only runs the last 200m 1.25L faster than Clairvoyance. Floyd only carried 1 kg more than the filly! At WFA Floyd would have given the filly around 9kg!
So do connections target the Winterbottom or The Everest?
I reckon win everything and then switch to dirt and win a Breeders Cup on dirt. She looks to my eye like she'd go even better on dirt.
This is kind of tongue in cheek but also not. While she is on this massive improvement curve you couldn't dismiss anything. With zero improvement from here in, she'd still have a very good career. Everything we know says there should be a lot of improvement and that is scary.
Good luck to connections. Enjoy the ride.

If I was Mcauliffe I would be going along for the ride anywhere.

Clairvoyance's campaign is over. The classy filly won't contest Sheila Gwynne Classic as planned. She's suffered bleeding to the back of her knee. Minimum six weeks in the paddock. Trainer Darren McAuliffe uncertain if latest setback is career threatening.
