  • @SilkStJohn Im well aware that the race is a handicap event as I live in Melbourne.Thats why I backed Jezabeel that day-she was a certainty under the conditions.

  • @SilkStJohn Sorry... British Group 1 (Flat)

  • @scrappy5011 Not good enough at the weights maybe, but if Usain Bolt carried 20stone against my 13 I reckon I'd have him over 100yds. It's a handicap, not a Group 1......

  • Simply not good enough-Persian Punch.Jezabeel was an absolute certainty that day with the light weight and I enjoyed collecting my winnings.Persian punch was a good horse but obviously not up to the task against some quality opposition.

  • Hence another 2f you dumb shit!

  • He had 2 miles to reel them in.

  • Another 2f & Punch would have reeled them in. Gutsy tough horse he was. Watch the Jockey Club cup...it was typical of many of his races.

  • i had $30 at 30-1 on champagne and how she didnt win i will never know

  • Sad story with Three Crowns also

  • Great reply by both mares considering they were both pole-axed in the Caulfield Cup when they were travelling well too. Champagne was all heart.
