Reply With QuoteThe Derby favourite is very short at $1.35
I don't know the WA horses but I note that he has not run over the distance before and that he has led for his last 3 wins while he is off the 2nd line tonight
Not that surprising in terms of Lumber Dream
Check out this list of his Broodmare Sire awards

Shannon Suvaljko race 2 great drive unlucky to have got nutted on the line.
Hotly Pursued in the Derby Consolation showing how hard it is to come from the back. I expect Never Ending may make an earlier move that that horse though.
When did the Derby get put back to 7.49/10.49
58 minutes between races!

and the other crazy thing is that Gary Hall Jnr has pretty much been the main driver for the First Four place-getters

Yeah. I would think nothing untoward but optics isnt great.Originally Posted by Messenger
He ramped it up in the 2nd qtr which was fair enough given the wraps and driving that way gave main danger Smartee no chance.
The drive on Smartee was also interesting, one stopped in his face but surely at that point you pull 4 wide to continue pressing forward. Then he got to the back and came 3 wide charging. Not talking through my pocket because he wouldnt have won anyway but it was a stinker of a drive.
Thought the Never Ending drive was a misjudgement re speed given the horse is coming off a respiratory issue and first time over 2500. Usually GP 2500 mtre races at GP are rack em and stack em. The first quarter and down the back sprint really told in the last 150mtres. It’s very easy with hindsight though. You can dissect the race but barriers and fitness won out, in my humble.
Those stats on Lumber Dream are quite remarkable. I do recall he was a good broodmare sire but not to that extent. (Also did Pruex Chevalier had one of the most distinctive gaits that you will ever see?, wonder if that was from his sire or dams side?)
