Champion!
Senior just told A Hamilton on Trackside from Perth via phone that there is NO WAY TMQ goes to the MM.
He is going to spell and head to senior real target... NZ Cup in November.
Senior makes the decisions and ...Quote... I'm putting my foot down here...unquote...snr..!!!
Champion!
Now that was good.
I think Jnr would've been very nervous going forward so early tho, it was only because at the 1600 when The Gold Ace got the lead and put the brakes on so his stablemate could go around him again to regain the lead, that a chain reaction caused some trouble and Quinn got pushed out 3 wide, from there He couldn't really go backwards, so he went forward and ended up in the death at bell. Luckily also it was a slowish race, 4 seconds slower than when he won this in 2011. With a mile rate of 1:59.6 this year vs 1:57.6. That was tho the best I have seen him race.
Was that the worst drive by Ricky May in Aus NZ this year, handing up to a $39 chance who is stablemate of Gold Ace?!!!
I do believe he would've won if he didn't have to give Quinn 6-8 lengths at the top of the straight cos he made up a lot of ground the last furlong, good thing beaten, no disrespect to Quinn he ran super.
ITMQ can do the impossible. The horse was just about on the outside fence in last position at the start with junior really trying to rein him into the running line after 300 metres. In the meantime the horses upfront were a mile in front of him including TTL, then got a cart up behind Fly Like an Eagle, sat in the breeze at the 700 metre mark and then stormed away from them. TTL a good thing beaten?- I don't think so. Every horse gets their chance over 2700 metres and no doubt Quinny
has got a lot of drivers running scared, and lets face it, there was still daylight between ITMQ and TTL at the finish. Glad to see a lot of members coming out from under their rocks to acknowledge the best horse in Australasia , something I've been doing non stop since I joined the forum two and a half years ago.
FOOTNOTE.
Australasia's best pacer not only won his second Auckland Cup at Alexandra Park tonight (Friday March 8) but Themightyquinn absolutely annihilated his 12 harness racing opponents in the prestigious $250,000 Group One feature.

Geez Rod!! he"s such a lucky horse,he gets all the lucky runs,and they run so slow everytime he has to race the best.He is only good on the small Perth track and very very lucky there too.Oh but the opposition there are nearly as weak as everywhere else as well tho.Good onya Rod sticken to your truth about the champ.
At the end of the day circumstances forced Quinnie and Hall out of their comfort zone and they still brained them.
