Yea I was there as well,funnily enough I sat with the breeder of ITMQ,great race and on the night I thought great win to SU he was too good,and ITMQ's run was outstanding as well.But besides everything else what can you say.. ITMQ the winner.Was it wrong that SU was DQ'd,I dont know but I guess the rules are the rules.Just to touch on the negative opinions that Quinnie seems to attract,I thought his win in the Auckland Cup that year was outstanding and he won all his heats for the Inters that year as well.As it stands he has won every heat and final of the Inter Dom for the last two years and also his heat this year.I think this year he'll give it a big shake as well.

Could you see another horse in the I.D. final sprint as quick as Quinny did up the straight in that trial?. I can't, including TTL.
So all the Quinnie detractors, haters etc, etc, etc, better hope that the horse gets no luck in running in the final.
Nothing intended towards you gollywog, just using your trial URL.
Another point, note how fast W.A. horses are, over at Menangle, I'm Victorius 1:52.7, MMM 1:52.2 after 3 wide in the first 300
and both unextended.

[QUOTE=Mighty Atom;25964] Jeepers Rod,
You really were involved in that movement in Perth many years ago that wanted to cut the West off from the rest of Australia and become your own nation!
And being a Freo boy you probably wanted also to be detached from those on the other side of the river!
You do know his 3 Inter heat wins in Perth last year were really standard issue WA FFA races... they werent even worthy of ID status, the toughest horse he faced in a heat was Raglan!!!
[QUOTE=Maorisidol;25965] Hi Ash,
Did you not read my post about how fast W.A. FFA performers are, could easily out -perform some of those masquerading as G1's, as the placings in the I.D. 2012 confirm.
As far as the succession debate goes, believe me it hasn't gone away, about 37 - 40 % of sandgropers are still in the affirmative. I think W.A. was the last state to sign up to the federation - I'm a fence sitter myself.
You are write about the north - south issue with regards to Perth. Many believe they are two different cities.

Not just WA ones go quick there. Smoken Up 1.48.5. Looking at list in classicfamiles 1.52.2 makes it the fastest WA horse at Menangle. About 40th overall. But that list only includes classic winners. Dont know where to get complete list but reckon would scrape into top 100. They flying machines them WA horses.
When you break times down doesn't look like much difference between them all eg. 1.52.2 = .0697327 metres per sec. 1.48.5 = .0674331 mps. But then convert to race dist-time and 1.48.5 beats 1.52.2 by 53 metres.
Yep they flying machines.
