I agree. As good as Smoken Up is, he hasn't equaled the feats of Blacks A Fake (yet).
Gee the champ has only been retired a few months and people are already forgetting about him! :)

Ha ha ha. Two years is quite a while isn't it? What I should have clarified, is his dominance over this season. He is getting a real picket fence going. And no, I haven't forgotten what Blackie has achieved, and is never likely to be done again. I wasn't trying to compare them.
sticking with Mr, dont think he will hand up..
question is..is he going as good as he was 12 months ago?? when he won this leading with blackie sitting outside him and running a 1.55...see it being run in a similar manner.
hesa buzzin to get a soft run and run on well..
Gd to see quinny back @ GP friday
I have a feeling im going to be staggered tonight...
And come race day I don't have a bet. $2.40 the place.
Ok. :p
Be Good Johnny startd $4.20 on NSW TAB. $30,000 pool that represents about $6000 placed on him when it was probably expected $1000 would be wagered on him at the most in a pool of that size. I reckon some drunken punter who won a fortune on the Moonee Valley gallops today must have just lost 5K or a similar figure on him.
His best bet of beating Smoken Up was to take the sit, IMHO and the race ended up panning out how I thought (other than I did think Smoken Up would still win)... I've seen Mr Feelgood reel off 25 second quarters at the Meadowlands off a sit - he has such a brilliant sprint. It was a great tactical drive by Luke and Kevin and Kay deserve all the success they can get with what they put into the industry :)
It takes a big man to admit he was wrong Brenno. Unfortunately I'm not a big man. Caps off a crap day for me today on the punt. Backed Jimmy in the plate (Damn that long Moonee Valley straight), and had $20 straight out on the first 4 in the Qld pacing championship on Smoken Up to win from MFG, Hesa Buzzin for third, Washakie for 4th.
Oh. And to top it off, we still were alive going into the last leg of the Big 6.
