    How I thought it would pan out is Mach Beauty leading easily with both ITMQ and Suave Stuey Lombo going forward and SSL racing on the outside of MB and Jnr with a sit although I think this may have been a perilous decision because I reckon Panella may have let SSL slide to the front then Tritton would have a double pronged attack SSL in front and MB free access to the sprint lane and I was surprised this didn't eventuate. Avonnova in recent runs has been allowed to settle then taken aroung the field to go to the front or sit outside I think Cockburn thought he could outstay his main oppositition and being somewhat buoyed by his close second to Beautide in the Len Smith Mile he decided to go for it especially after declaring he was ready for this. Avonnova dictated the pace all the way in the Len Smith and was run over by Beautide in 1:53:1 2.6 slower than ITMQ and on a good and bigger track. Gary Hall Snr was right - good strong performer but maybe lacking the sprint ability of the champ.

    For what ita worth I thought it was a great race.Hall took no prisoners by going forward at the start to land who knows where.Cockburn took no prisoners by taking off after settling out of the gate.Panella took no prisoners with her hard front running drive.Hall and Quinny got the best out of it..whats the problem?? Perhaps if he didn't win then all the drives would have been great bah Juniors where he would have been shark bait on here not Cockburn!!!

The excitement of those years watching 2 great horses go at it was amazing! Robert, I could throw in Gammalite, Village kid as well, and some of my fav's from the 90's- Iraklis, Franco Tiger, Franco Ice, etc etc. I had a very soft spot for Sinbad Bay. What a horse! So many greats.
    Hey Smoken, Fantastic to see the great names from the past, How about we throw Mount Eden in the mix without giving the opposition 60 or 70 metres head start due to his poor manners, That would be some type of race and I'm sure that there would be a massive crowd on hand, We can only dream!!

    Hi Rob, I thought it was a good drive by Lauren and yes, She couldn't have driven the horse and better, He has blinding gate speed and will win more than his share of races driven this way. I probably should have said Bart should learn something from the experience but it will be tough going not only against Quinny.

    Yes Richard, Mt Eden, and so many others from the past. It would be magical, but as you said, we can only dream! So many others that we can mention as well.

    Quinn drawn outside him in 7 with Pete McMullen driving.
    SSL leads, Quinn in the death if he goes forward again????????????
    or does Quinn go back with SSL potentially running track record time?

    SSL leads, ITMQ I think will go forward and take cover, to which horse no idea. If Quinny is in death and wins, then he really has toughened up, and I mean big time! So many great races at Albion Park this Sat. Do you think Quinny might try and lead? Very interesting if he does try that..

    Why would you give a precious champion rising 10, a hard run in the death when the winner will be lucky to collect $10k?

    That could have happened last week Kev, if it wasn't for Cockburn handing Quinny the race. I guess people can say it was worth $60k, sure, still doesn't change he COULD have had a brutal run in the death. Maybe they are confident Quinny is way to good? Should/could Trigger have been given an easier run as a rising 12yr old? That's the difference between the 2 for me. Ones a precious brilliant Champ, and the other one a BRUTAL fighting Champion. I just like the latter's style way more, doesn't mean they both aren't Champs. I'm sure everyone has there fav's for various reasons.
