Thats a pretty silly question Jack when you look at Darren's record with the horse.
I am loathe to enter this thread because of some of the naive statements that have been going on, but mate you really need to pull back there.

The horse in question has always had a truckload of ability, he has just been a bit shy in the courage department amd has been driven acordingly.

This horse, like many others is a work in progress, I was only talking to Darren about him a month or so ago and he was telling me the horse was starting to toughen up mentally and low and behold he sure did that last Saturday night.

The old Banjo Paterson Poem "Riders in the Stand" is an apt read I reckon, maybe it would be a good time to read it Jack.
