You have to feel for John Justice, I am still not sure why they took Lenny away from him

I remember that Wayne but my question still stands
Edit: But as you suggest - pretty much logistics

I wonder whether if Franco Ledger had been in the Supplementary heat, which some thought he should have been, whether he may have made the main field?

I'm going to be sent to the naughty corner but so be it. I tried to let it go and was relying on somebody else bringing it up but that hasn't happened. I'm 'POSITIVE' that after breaking out of the gate and losing 6 lengths, one shouldn't then be pressuring the leader (after also making a pretty quick run around the field) into a 56.7 sec first half effectively leaving your charge totally spent at the 700m mark. POSITIVE!

Agreed.

No naughty room for telling it as it is

Having been nominated from New Zealand, Franco Ledger should have been in the supplementary heat at Menangle. The fact that he was allowed to start in the Victorian heat did draw the attention of the Butterworth camp and lawyers were briefed evidently.
If Franco Ledger had made the first three on Saturday night all hell would have broken loose post race.
Under those circumstances when he didn't run in three, Franco Ledger was zero chance of getting a wildcard. I feel a bit sorry for the horse and his connections as the mistake about where he should start was made by the authorities not the connections

Thanks for info Viv, I know some people were thinking that some get favorable treatment

IMHO the sooner the Interdominion reverts to it's normal format the better.

Does anyone honestly think that the way the Interdominion has been run the last three years has been an improvement?
