I really don't care if I am just sounding like a nark anymore but fair dinkum, how can Glen McElhinneys effort on Miss Livia in the first at Penrith tonight be described as anything more than sub sub par. Drawn gate three, I had no doubt she would be pushed forward, her biggest dangers in the one and four. But nuh! Whoa girl, we'll try to win from 2nd last. Well, we would, but little did I realise Glen thought he was driving IMTQ in theInter final. Surprise, surprise apparently she wasn't capable of such a powerful sprint over such a short distance!
Maybe if he had had a look at her replay two starts back when she led on her ear from gate five and held all at bay, may have helped.
I am sure the fact that Miss Livia drifting alarmingly in the betting had nothing to do with the effort. Can't wait to read the same old, same old in the stewards report.![]()
