I never said Great Hunter was a mighty horse, just better than Circular Quay. I'm not impressed with the 2yos so far at all. I'm thinking that the Derby winner hasn't raced yet and certainly hasn't raced in Stakes company yet.

The horses ankles were slightly filled the day after the race, I saw him jog on a shank up and down the shed 3 times , he was not off. He is being x rayed to make sure there is nothing amiss, and Im 90% sure that the xrays will be clean. Mostly the horse came unglued mentally , which is in his pedigree as his mother was a blooming idiot with tons of run . After he reared in the gate the gate hand bit his ear which I think was the beginning of the end for him mentally. He left the gate almost falling down and then was shut off and ran over because of his stupidity in the gate and not getting off well. To me , and I know the horse pretty well, by the time he got to the first turn he was so pi**ed off that he was like " screw it Im going to the 100 to 1 "
Ill bet you a beer or beverage of your choice this horse will win more stakes and you can take that statement to the bank.
