I just noticed that in last night's 2yo at Geelong, Peter Manning trained 5 out of the 6 starters
Did he win it?

Mach Three died

A real pity, thankfully he left some pretty good replacements. His sons I imagine will be in greater demand ? good for the breeding industry

Whilst Lazarus continues on his winning way it may be worth noting the performace of the horse who got closest to beating him as a 3yo last season on any number of times they met. When you compare the performance of Lazarus on a roomy and fast 1200 metres Addington in the NZ Cup running a world record 3:53.1 for 3200metres off the front in a stand start. Mile rate 1:57.2, 800 in 55.3 and 400 27.1 against the cream of the crop.

Yesterday on the egg shaped 1000metres track at Invercargill, the aforementioned horse Classie Brigade ran 3200 metres off 30 metre handicap 3:53.5, mile rate 1:57.4, 800 in 55.3, 400 in 26.5 Naturally a track and race all comers record
