Did I see Sushi attempt a little buck at the whip???

Watch Sushi as he turns into the straight, Sugars ever so lightly taps his rump with the whip and the horses bum literally jumps ever so slightly like he was telling Sugars he didn't like it...and proceeds to drift up the track a tad.
Now he hasn't had a decent race where he has been pushed 100% since maybe NZ or the Excel Stride days, hopefully he wouldn't do that when under pressure in upcoming Group races because under real pressure fighting to the line if he does that and more severely, he'll get rolled by the big boys. That is if that's what it was...

You might be right Ash, he definitley ran around a bit through the straight, my guess... getting a little tired and nothing else to keep his mind on the job.. but golly it's a long time since I've seen a great 3yo do anything like that! to some pretty fair seasoned horses so early in his 4yo term, he just keeps looking more and more like the real deal!
