that was a very good win tonight
should have been convincing enough to warrant the trip to the Hunter Cup
Yes Neil,he did pretty well.He started like a rocket off the 20m,which helped Ants get him into the right spot..then only a matter of time before he moved on him.Sat parked and was way to good under basically his own steam.Full credit to Brent Shirley who tried to run them ragged...probably would of worked 99% of the time..but sadly for his connections they were up against a class act tonight.
Is he going over for the Hunter Cup, or concentrating on the Interdoms? Neither Blacks A Fake or Mr Feelgood will be there, it won't be quite as tough yet it carries a 400k purse or something like that?
The answer is in Harnesslink.
I saw the article about 5 minutes after I posted, feel like a bit of a goose!!Originally Posted by eljay
Stunnin Cullen showed that he is not just a sit-sprinter.
To sit parked and do what he did in the straight showed how good this guy is.
That said, he's not in the Mr Feelgood/Smoken Up/BAF class yet. Operative word is 'yet'.
I was down at Ascot and yes Stunnin Cullen was very impressive and seems to be devolping into the real deal. The Northern Southland Club do a great job and must be congratualted on the quality of the fields. Some good racing on show.
it is a great meeting and was there last year
was in the wrong island this time
Yea that particular meeting always seems to attract very good fields,and so it should..they offer some good stake money.So well done on the club for what was more than likely another succesful Cup meeting.
Was there any news/reports as to his performances in the NZ Cup and FFA? Some people thought he was not up to that top class but I think he didn't race as good as he could? In regards to the NZ Cup, do Christian Cullens have good records over 2 miles or are they more mile - middle distance horses? I hope he shows his best in Australia, will be good to see him up against Smoken Up and co
