Anyone having a crack?
I like the romance of Preferment winning, the last true star stayer sired by the now deceased super sire Zabeel. The Zabeels love the 3200m at Flemington and Preferment has had two starts st the track for two Group 1 wins. Can see him bolting up to them around the home bend and putting them away.
Of the others Criterion is probably the best horse in the race but a query at the distance.
The Offer and Excess Knowledge two at odds.
Preferment
Criterion
The Offer
Excess Knowledge
Ignorance is bliss.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Haha I backed them both at 80/1 and 100/1 during the week, would be a great result either way.

So let me just begin by stating that I wouldn't know the front from the back of a horse. But its uncanny how many times you hear or filter out bits of info on topics that you often know nothing about but you wish you acted upon it. I'd been listening to SEN most of the morning and most of it was back ground noise. As I walked out of my garage to go inside and watch the race, the only comment that stuck in my mind was Doctor Turf saying Prince of Penzance was no chance at 100:1. I was thinking about it as I walked in and thought imagine if it won. Nek minut!
