Great win by old Mr Feelgood. Geez I had my doubts big time on him as let's be frank, his previous form has been below par, but tonight sitting cold early obviously did the trick and then allowed J.McCarthy to move into the race at his own pace.
Great stuff to see a good horse firing again and on that run, has to be considered a very live chance in the final.
Hi Nathan,
It's easier to say a lot in hindsight. Many gave up after his 1st heat when he sat outside of the leader. That actually was a solid run and it would appear that he's coming into peak form.
He's run yesterday was awesome.
Your comments that he may be past it don't make sense either and aren't consistent with your belief that Luke (the McCarthy's) know/train/understand there horses to the minute and far better than anyone else.
He's getting older and there is only one race that he needs to win - the final. Good luck to Mr. Feelgood.
I've heard on a couple of occasions that the horse doesn't tend to do his best when coming off more than the usual travel prior to/close to race time. If that's actually the case then maybe it's just that he is settling in to his new surroundings over there. He certainly went a HUGE trip. 1:55.6 and a 57.8 close off the end of a tick over 1 & 1/2 miles. Not too shabby that.
It will be a great final.... I hope ITMQ draws the front and smoken up runs him into the ground. Mr Feelgood is my football team of harness racing. I follow him everywhere. ITMQ is a lot like Collingwood - I don't like either of them
Bill Shorten at one time used to work for the Collingwood Football Club.
I thought Cromac Johnny had him. If it was the Mr Feelgood on night 1 and possibly night 2 he would have. It was put on a platter for both of them but Mr Feelgood manhandled Cromac Johnny. The latter is underrated. I was impressed.
