Aidan O'Brien is going to get a tongue-lashing from Bart Cummings and he deserves it. Taking So You Think to the far back end of the field? Again with the pacemaker? Stupid, stupid, stupid. SYT has plenty of pace on his own, he can sit handy and has done so with excellent results in Australia. He stays - he passed a large portion of the field in the later stages - but O'Brien seems convinced that he doesn't. At least he finished first of the male horses in the field.
I should have had some money on the German filly. I am the big backer of German horses and breeding. Stupid move again.
