He did indeed, the little winner. I'm going to hire a PR company next year - the Aus award apparently was voted on by the media instead of by merit - I've seen Lumineer mentioned far more times on Twitter than little Jack. Because it's a bigger industry there? More big trainers? Who knows.
I'll laugh if Poster Boy wins Vic 2yo Colt of the year and beats Lumineer though.
Look, I know it's unAustralian to be so sour grapes over stuff like this but we'll NEVER EVER EVER get a horse as good as him again, particularly as a hobby stable. Just want to milk all the achievement possible while it lasts and it sucks to get passed over.
Fantastic to win the state award Katie and on the national front he was no doubt right up there but the opposition was very hot this year

Congrats to you and your family Katie and without looking at the W A 2yo Honour Roll, I'd reckon your bloke will now be amongst illustrious company.
