Hi Dallas . Was very surprised myself . Can only immagine Smoken Up isn,t a stand horse . Maybe the same with Sushi . It makes it a very moderate Hunter cup field . I suppose it , certainly , makes it a much more even contest and it will be a great race anyway . Always is .
Hi Murray, Smoken Up loves a stand, I believe he was to be handicapped 30m in Hunter and Lance thought that too much, fair enough I reckon.
Sushi was never gonna run I believe as they want to keep him out of Group 1 FFA until next year...except Ballarat.
Go Reactor!!!

Hi Murray
I was just expecting them to run in the Hunter Cup and was really looking foward to being trackside to watch. You are correct it is a very even field now. I know i'll get wacked on here for saying this but i'm now going for Auckland Reactor to win the Hunter Cup.
I will get slammed too but my goodness what an ordinary field, looks more like a country cup field at Bendigo.

Can't slam you Peteboss, you say it like it is. Thought the Reactor went super last week and only off 10m so he might get that win in OZ that Viv is so desperate for and if they do roll along that other bloody kiwi might might be the knockout horse again. Even if the talent does look a little down on past years you still have to beat the opposition that is served up on the night.
In my wildest dreams I could not imagine the connections of Sushi Sushi giving even the slightest thought whatsoever starting him in the Hunter Cup. After that very demanding run last week over a distance further than he has ever run previously and first up as well and now a standing start Group One. They would need to have their heads read :-)

Hi David
Fair call but looking at the field i think he would of been right in there with a shot, i would love to see Sushi take a sit and come off speed.
