Well done to beautide! Smoken Up definitely did not run to his capabilities.. Strange! Leaders seem to be dropping of like flies, without setting crazy sectionals.. I thought the times would be much quicker..
Huge turn of foot down the straight, thought Christen Me had it for a bit and then, WHOOSH. Awesome win by Beautide.

That is very interesting, because after looking at the replay 5 times, that is very strange for Smoken Up to just compound like that.. 149.9 last week, tonight the winner went 150.2, with much quicker times expected..
I reckon you might be right in regards to the Vic cup.
I am selfish, & would love to see Trigger race forever, unfortunately time catches up with everything.. The memories he has given me are priceless
I hope the Champ is all ok!

I hate to be a killjoy but the race will not go down in history as memorable. The winner driven for luck and got it. (sorry)
Night may be memorable for McCarthy's incredible effort

Maybe like those of us who are getting older, SU may not back up weekly any more. His run last week still sticks in my mind...outstanding. I think I will wait and see before writing him off.
I agree with both Messenger and p plater.
I keep forgetting that he is 11yrs of age, & then I snap back to reality lol. Could be very well that he just needs more time to recover(logical) or something was wrong with him tonight, which I hope not!! I can't wait to see him race again God willing!
I reckon Lance will take trigger back home to Globe Derby for his final run in the SA Cup. Was a great move by Rattray to go back to the pegs, he only just made it in there before Im Victorious got to that spot.
This is what Lance said..
He needs a fortnight between runs these days. He was just a bit tired in the warm up and didn't have the zip of last week."
Hope to see mighty Trigger's next race!
I wonder if Smoken Up was based in Sydney between the Cordina and the MM final?? Congrats to Beautide's connections but as Messenger mentioned, it won't stick in the memory as an outstanding MM, very disappointed with the time.
