You are harsh. I think poor old trigger has done plenty to prove himself. What if Quinn draws one to four then what. Every horse has a different racing style smoken up is great at the front of the field and Quinn does well from the back.
No one knocks Quinn so have the same respect for the other true champ Smoken up.

Smoken Up is a great champion but I think ITMQ doesn't race any different whether he draws 1,2,or 3 or the back line which he has done plenty of times. He's not quite reliant as much on a good draw as SU.

miracle mile?

oh and Trigger has won a hell of a lot of races from less desirable draws.

I've seen horses with acceleration, but wow when G.Hall Jr launched ITMQ last night, well that was something else. Toughness can win you races but raw unadalterated speed like that can win you a lot more.

What is the go with WA drivers all loving the three wide train? Its a race to see who can lead it up over there. They love the death seat also, and refuse to hand it up. No track in Australia sees drivers launch earlier than GP. Its not just in the big races either, watch any FFA over there.

ITMQ did not produce his best at his last eastern states campaign.I reckon something wasn't quite right after his Miracle Mile run. As I have said on a previous post he had contracted a slight cold,probably manifesting through his 4 runs and it took his usual dash away from him somewhat. On top of that dehydration and he just wasn't himself.

Hi Grant
I love watching the race's over there, 3 wide on a 800m track and they run time's. For me it's the best racing to watch.

Agree 100%. By far the most competitive racing in the Country over there.

Totally agree. Purely from a spectacle point of view high class racing at GP is as good as it gets.

I was not old enough to judge Popular Alm, I've only seen videos of thw champ and certainly not saying ITMQ is in the same class as Poppy, but the way G Hall Jnr let him go down the back straight on Friday night certainly looked reminiscent of one of Poppy's Victoria Cup wins..his high speed is just incredible.

One thing I've learnt though is to never underestimate a champion, and Smoken Up is just that. I disregarded BAF on too many occassions, and have done the same with Smoken Up over the past 18 months (to the detriment of my wallet.)

The Inters is shaping up to be an absolute classic.

Watching GP racing is like watching a bunch of hyped up 3 year olds hit each other with baseball bats. Fascinating and horrifying at the same time.
