Very Special & he does it so easy. Beautiful action on him , effortless.

I wonder whether the author actually watched the race? There was no second row

We have a big 1400m track and yet horses cannot get a clear run in an 8 horse field, no doubt the short distance is a big contributor to this

Yes , I agree 6 way better in the MM.
Both those horses had NO luck at all . Which is a real shame. It would have been a much better race if they had.

A bit like a jockey who clipped the heels in the Mile race at Flemington yesterday . There were 7 horses in it!!!!!!!

I was reviewing the Derby again and wondered why Sanchez was not in it (things don't always go to plan) But more interesting, I noticed that Nathan Jack is not training him anymore - I wonder why that is. He won at Wagga on Thursday night for Tayla Nicholson

Nathan was disqualified for 9 months in December for positive swab

Thanks Carol, I missed that. Surprising PP did not report that as he is always on Nathan's case

I bet Grant is kicking himself now , for not serving it up to DH in the first half of the MM.
