  • Forget Tawriffic...Super Impose was the run of the race. The horse is a friggin miler and took all the stayers to school bar his stable mate.

  • You're right, they shouldn't have run Stylish Century in the Melbourne Cup, but then they weren't to know that Tony Allen on Empire Rose wold take him on for the lead either. A bad ride which ruined both their chances.

  • @tigerrish I agree with you on this one. Not only did they run Stylish Century in everything as a three-year-old, they had run him in everything as a two-year-old, as well. They also changed stables with him an extraordinary number of times, from memory, and the fact that he was still so good as a four-year-old makes you wonder what he could have been in better hands.

  • @barbhow40

    i think tawriffic paid over $30 for the win and super impose was $8.40 for place (queensland tab). quinella by freedman. i was very sure of super's payout cos i had a $100.00 bet for $840.00 return. was my first bet ever in racing. and down the years gave back more than that. i dont bet horses anymore. it was first time lucky.

  • I need this to settle a bet, do you know what the dividends were on this race???

  • I must say in the defence of the owners of NLD, he was actually set for the race and they always planned to run him in the cup. I think the mistake they made with him was to back up that hard spring with another tough Autumn against the best crop of 3yrs we've seen. I feel the Autumn 3yr season killed him and from then on it was hard work. But the owner of Stylish Century was a looney, he ran one of the best WFA horses to a neck in the CP then bolted the Derby in and still he wanted more.

  • you're damn right to the point...they made similar mistake with nothing leica dane...running in the melbourne cup after derby ( despite being lucky to get that derby from big o) was a biggest mistake...after melbourne cup he won only one second string race...and a few placings but never lived upto his potential...poor desicion...they've got too greedy

  • Pretty handy field he beat, the second place getter was no hack! He went close in this race a few times old Super, was fitting that he capped his great career off with that memorable win in the Cox plate a few years later. It was a shame that Stylish Century was sent around, this race did him far more harm than good, his 3rd start at 2000mtr plus in 10 days as a 3yr was crucifying him. He wa proof that horses aren machines, he was burnt out by the end of his 4yr season.
