    Take nothing away from McWicked but confirmation of the importance of post position and the trip. Well done McWicked and a great effort from Lazarus.

    Have to admit Lazarus has gone better than I ever expected, that run changed my mind. Makes me wonder how fast some of our good mile horses could run at that track. They would smash the 1.46 record , we have had some go 1 to 2 seconds faster than Lazarus ever did here.
    US buyers will be taking a good look at our horses now ! At a time that we really need our best horses to stay here.
    Don't die wondering !

    Yes Dot Mcwicked is a very good horse had the better run result changes if positions swapped i think it wasn't a good drive by Gingras but Lazarus showed his heart by taking ground off Mcwicked over the concluding stages.
    Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on

    Agreed Greg, reverse the draw and runs and Laz wins, but that is racing, and racing luck. Mcwicked is in the record books as the winner but Lazarus loses nothing in running second.

    From @JimmyTakter live on @SkyRacingAU - “I could not be prouder. He didn’t get the trip we hoped. He covered at least 4len extra being out deep and that equates to a 1.45.6sec Mile.” Great get @GregHayes78

    I probably thought the same Rick but in the past his campaigns weren't specifically targeting mile racing while now they are - it makes me wonder how many Southern Hem horses really would be better.

    There is however no questioning that he was the yardstick when it came to distance races

    Not saying we don't have any others that couldn't go similar to Laz (and be successful in the U.S. in open class) but to suggest that they could smash 1:46 because they were 1 or 2 seconds faster then Lazarus here Rick is a big call. Lazarus's last two seasons here started with a NZ Cup campaign over two miles and targeted races longer then a mile after that, mile racing was pretty much an afterthought for his campaigns, and he simply wasn't at his best for those races. Now he is being trained for a mile, and despite a hiccup with illness and a resulting quiet run the qualities that made him a champion here over longer distances are shinning through.

    Watching that replay again I don't think we, or they, have another horse that could run that mile like Laz did.

    Agree, Dot. MM was always the glass of Port after an 8-course degustation menu for Laz. Never going to be the main course.

    Just loved the way he was still powering home on the line yesterday. The real Lazarus.
