Stewards comment said CODS so assume he was already ODS before last night. Only stand last 12 months. So at moment not eligible Hunter Cup. Going away in Pure Steel gets him into Hunter Cup (last night race made him exempt any ballot). But he still be ODS for Hunter Cup? Going away once won't get him back in draw if has poor record from stand? Maybe Ballarat Cup better option?

Had horse once that was put ODS after 1 failed attempt. 2 trials and 1 race to get back in draw believe back then. He didn't gallop out. Just stood there. Well it was a 'standing' start race! Horse just misread form guide...thought was a 'standing still' race.
