Well the little fella did it hey, as I said said in the "how far will Quinn win by" Poll,
"Happy to put my name up Brendon, as i and others have mentioned many times "too many things" need to go right for him to win. i totally believe he can win, but, the stars all have to align and the Gods must all agree. If he is "out" and under big pressure at the top of the LOOOONG Menangle straight, his little heart will pop about 50m out. So Hall has all the pressure on him to conserve his little baby 99.9% until the last 150m, if he can do that and of course not use ANYTHING at the start he is in with a chance"
Well exactly that happened, everything went right,
Did no work at the start as Hall learnt his lesson in Vic Cup,
Got a DREAM trail up from last where NO horse pulled out in front of Mach Alert, couldn't believe Kate Gath didn't go at 1000m and stayed in...who would've believed before the race that trail up would have happened?,
Cruised up slowly to the 400 having spent virtually zero and unleashed his withering sprint,
Main danger Terror spends petrol getting to death mid race then has no cover from there on, fights on well.
That's it. Definitely a great by Quinn tho don't get me wrong, ill now officially grant him 1 ID FInal win that was worthy of an ID.
Just my opinion, and u and Rod from Freo will especially be a bit freaked out of course but the Perth ID was a given as soon as it was announced it would be at GP, he was SOOOOOO lucky Smoken Up galloped (not sayin trigger would have won but hell it would've changed the race, u can't deny that, a shame it didn't get a chance to play out), his ID heats in Perth were LESS than a regular FFA in GP any week, and of course u can't say Feelgood and Auckland Reactor ran up to their form of their heats, so again Quinn had bugger all competition at the end of the day which was totally disappointing because a great spectacle with Trigger pressuring everyone and the other 2 guys racing up to their best ability would have been fantastic.
And of course Trigger simply outran him in NZ ID, but he is given the victory, however, so hollow as far as I'm concerned...
