Luckily also it was a slowish race, 4 seconds slower than when he won this in 2011. With a mile rate of 1:59.6 this year vs 1:57.6. That was tho the best I have seen him race.
Was that the worst drive by Ricky May in Aus NZ this year, handing up to a $39 chance who is stablemate of Gold Ace?!!!
I do believe he would've won if he didn't have to give Quinn 6-8 lengths at the top of the straight cos he made up a lot of ground the last furlong, good thing beaten, no disrespect to Quinn he ran super.
