Don't get me wrong, I have only begun looking at the pps for Saturday's race, and there is no doubt that Rock Lobster is an outsider. However, I will look a lot harder before throwing him out. Mike is right about one thing....he will have to improve a LOT to be competitive here.

I am suggesting that if a 90-1 shot can win a grade 1 against some of the top horses in the world, a horse like Rock Lobster could beat a field of unprove or unimpressive three year olds on the grass. Rock Lobster wouldn't be nearly as big a shock as Seek Gold.
