Gday Smoken,
Stable driving tactics is a regular occurrence as I pointed out in a previous comment but had it removed. Both Mt and CP eased back at the start and with no other driver wanting the death MT ambled up to face the breeze and CP latching on, it was a lay down misere. Trigger is now facing the gauntlet of having to fight off all the young guns in his races which is no easy task, But with your comments that CP needs a race to suit or he's toast reminds me of similar remarks regarding a certain ITMQ and Chilli Palmer IS the new ITMQ. He is a super horse and its no disgrace that Smoken Up was beaten by him considering Chilli Palmer had the pie run.
