Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
May explain why Luke stayed home and didnt drive him Had enough for what reason who knows, but they arent machines.
Might be home sick, just not going at all over there
He's now going about the same as he was for Butt's before McCarthy took the horse over. Handy, but he gets a bit tired and hits a bit of a flat spot if he has a hard run, then just battles to the line.

Can only summise Luke knows the horse isn't going so well at present. He did drive him at his previous two at Gloucester and preferred to leave him in his Dads capable hands maybe hoping his Dad can nurse him through the series and hopefully pick up form by finals night if he gets in. Back in 2009 he only had a 3rd and a 5th in the heats before knocking over Blackie in the final when still in the Butts stable. A few of the also rans that night included Washakie, Smoken Up and Auckland Reactor.
That said, Fixed Odds NSW TAB has Heat 6 as Auckland Reactor at $2.20 and Mr Feelgood at $2.40 in a win only market at present. I wouldn't feel too good about those odds if I was backing MFG.
Mr Feelgood won great races with the Butt's, has won great races with McCarthy but has clearly shown recently that he doesn't want a bar of Perth and Gloucester Park, nor racing for that matter period and to be frank, looks completely disinterested in his racing. He's one-pacing and just going through the motions in my opinion.
He's been a great horse, done his job and won't surprise if they retire him, I was actually surprised they didn't retire him after his Victoria Cup win. I mean all bar winning a Miracle Mile, he's got nothing to prove here in Australia.

I reckon. Took $2.50 fixed odds and just before they jumped took $2.85. Good to see you back fella.
