Katie Lee was a little disappointing today.

Here's a replay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnPoiQer62k

She might have had a few excuses. She's never been great fresh - she didn't win the first start of either of her last two campaigns - and she looked a little bit fat. Plus, most of the races were won from on or near the pace, and some rain on the day made the track a little shifty. It definitely didn't suit all runners.

But still, I think she's the 5th best horse I've ever seen, and that performance today wasn't anywhere near what I expected. She was 7-8 lengths below her best form, and will have to improve a lot to be competitive in the Melbourne campaign they've got planned.
