Mister Rea's unbeaten record of 6/6 came to and end at Wagga on Tuesday
I still think he is very very good but maybe he is not as super special as I thought
Probably being tough as he was first up for 10wks and it was an open age race
But his conqueror is only a 3yo filly who sat on his back and finished over him
(interesting to contrast the two drivers' whip actions too)
His preferred style has been to lead so if she can sit on his back and outsprint him, his top 2yo companions will be looking to do that next year
His previous win at Wagga he had come home in 26.8 so if he takes it a little easier earlier, not many are going to come over the top of that
