Thats as good a win seen since following horses last 30 years. Really hope Waller goes as says and aims at history with the 3rd Cox Plate. Forget the colorless international scene.

Actually think was a solid run. Class can win melb cups. Is australias second best horseCouldn't back Hartnell with any confidence in the Cup off that run.
The performance was fine, but you'd have to think he's a massive distance query unless they walk like last year.
Green MoonSometimes complete flops in the Cox Plate go onto kill it in the cup...
lost all rhythm cornering. might be the valley, might be he went from travelling to chasing and trying hard. wrong horses back there too he's better than that. wouldn't have won though.
And Randwick always cops it for their Championships.Kudos to the crowd that went today. Was absolutely disgusting conditions, although flemington has copped a few of those days over the recent years.
Winx has beaten him on average 6 lengths per start going into today so given how welll she went he probably ran to his mark. Maybe a length or too below.
Note - grace in victory a noble endeavourI know I was trumpeting it per race but I completely agree. Anyone who thought any horse apart from Winx was 'value' or a good 'bet' needs to take a serious look at their punting.
There are races to look outside the obvious but this wasn't one of them. She'd flogged the second fave pointlessly 3 times and no horse had got near here in Australia for a year.
She was the best of good things.
The non believers should be forced to wear a thorn of crowns and walk a lap of the valley screaming 'I am not worthy'

I like astern for the coolmore but jeez there's 3 or 4 quality horses in that race. Very much looking forward to that
i was looking at her form a few months ago, interesting fact that only 4 horses had pulled ground off her in the last 200m ever.
First Seal, multiple times
Gust of Wind
slightly sweet
Peggy Jean
3 of those occured in a single race where she was first up.
Please tell me you at minimum had a decent day on the punt. Had the Valley pretty much nailed . Well done.I know I was trumpeting it per race but I completely agree. Anyone who thought any horse apart from Winx was 'value' or a good 'bet' needs to take a serious look at their punting.

Is pulling away from Yankee Rose a measure of stamina though?I'm not as negative about Hartnell's run as most. I wanted him to challenge Winx for the spectacle but nothing indicated he actually could. But he did rally late to pull away from Yankee Rose a little and I won't rule him out of the MC.
