I personally would like to see the Gold Ace run, BUT.. Rules are rules, so if they bend rules when they feel like, or for a particular person or horse, then it is clearly unfair why they wouldn't do the same for others. Let's not forget that TGA is considered and unruly standing start horse, in NZ, the last 12 months anyway..
So in saying that, they should change the rules for next years Hunter Cup, & TGA should run in the Pure Steel.

RULE
In every year since 2007, it has been a condition of the AG Hunter Cup that ‘A horse must have contested and began safely in a minimum of one standing start race in the 12 months prior.’
