Inky Pinky Ponky

Inky Cullen is no donkey - when he started his racing as a late 3yo and then 4yo, he won 12 and finished second 3 times in his first 16 starts over a period of 13mths
But a few things went his way tonight when he beat Messini
That lead time is the equivalent of sub 1.52 MR
Major Crocker's drive has been queried - I can only think it would be as to why he did not hand up earlier (surely) but there is no Sprint Lane at Ballarat so we will have to await the stewards report

I disagree. I think Sugars was queried as to why after initially resisting, he in fact decided to hand up

That more or less sounds the same Harvey - they are questioning why he changed his mind
There is a subtle difference in that I guess I would be of the view that they should have asked him - why did it take you so long to hand up? Simple answer - no sprint lane
While your guess is that they were asking him - why didn't you stick to your guns? Simple answer - hot pace. They probably took this tack - aware that the horse is entered in Mildura
