Not sure if they have any decent races around that October-Nov period but something could be worked out surely even if NSWHRC had to put up a bit of prizemoney to help them out.

Flawed/wrong whatever it needed changes. Those flaws would have seen TTL in the field straight away.
I'm not begrudging Smoken Ups or ITMQ invitation....
Fantasy world...never heard of such a world. Do you live there or what? You seem to know a bit about it.[/QUOTE

SORRY I thought we were talking about the MIRACLE MILE all this time silly me.
You guys cant be serious!
A Mile race in SA or Tassie, and while i'm at it WA to be a qualifier, giving the winner a 100% start in the MM?????????????
Crikey theyll go at least 1:58.3 in SA and Tassie!!! Come on guys the best hometown horses in those states dont rank in the top 20 in Vic and u wanna give that horse a guaranteed run? (assuming of course an interstater doesnt go over and take the cash, as if they wouldnt)
Take out ITMQ and David Hercules from Perth and what horse would have the balls to travel East, imo, none.
The big wrap for Franco Emirate was generated almost solely by an Oz media guy..I think his name was Hamilton. His info was gotten by a Kiwi called Guerin. Now some people will tell you these guys know their business but they are really just into headline grabbing.
Franco mirate went to Oz after a career of just 22 starts. He won 14 with 5 minor placings. Most of his racing has been in age group racing. He went to Oz as "a big boofhead" on an education sojourn. He was hardly a goer against his Oz opposition.
He learnt heaps and you can seriously watch for him next time.
