Monsieur Chevalier ran the race of his life after breaking his pelvis. Really wished he's gained an extra half a length then I'd have been laughing all the way to the bookies
I love the little snicker of the commentor when he announced Star Witness third. Not sure what it meant. Possibly relieved an Aussie didn't win it again. Anyway, the horse ran a pretty good race, but not good enough for the first two, particularly in the going. The other Aussie in the field, Elzaam, ran a creditable fourth. Its a pity the Singaporean champ, Rocket Man, didn't make it to the starting gate for this as planned. He'd have won this by a good margin.
@SvendBosanvovski I think Steven Arnold made a good point when he said that given the conditions the 6F ran more like a 7F race. He definitely got pretty tired once he pulled to the front. Pretty game effort and you'd have to think he'd been right in the mix for the July Cup if rain stays away? The winner's definitely proved himself at the level after his 2nd last year.
@bgardiner2000 have a look at the july cup on youtube, its uphill for the last 2 furlongs and a lot of milers have ran well in it in the past, you need a bit more stamina to get home
@bgardiner2000 Yes, I saw that. It was a very brave run, and he gave his backers a sight for their money. This is only the second time he has raced on what has been officially designated a slow track, but the English slow is equivalent to an Australian heavy. He handled it OK, but started to feel his legs at the end. Newmarket is possibly the toughest 6f on a premier track and could find him out. However, he is the son of Starcraft. English racing fans will remember what a good miler he was.
I ended up backing both Elzaam and Bated Breath with a small amount e/w in this race. I didn't win anything, but I have to say that I was pleased with the effort that both gave in the Golden Jubilee!! Both of them, especially Elzaam, were right there with a shot at making the frame in this race.
@john131349 Star witness couldn't get with 6L of Hay List over 6F. Not a bad effort for a 3rd/4th stringer. Imagine how ordinary the rest would look if Hay List were there, let alone Black Caviar.
@john131349 It says a lot about a person when they try to make themselves feel better by running others down. Did you not have enough toys when you were growing up or something?
Society Rock ran huge in this race just 12 month's ago. The difference this time is that there wasn't another horse in the field the caliber of a Starspangledbanner. I also thought Monsieur Chevalier, Star Witness, Elzaam, and Bated Breath all ran really well in the Golden Jubilee as well.
