Washington Irving only managed fourth. Being a Montjeu half brother to Alexandraova, he will no doubt require a stiffer test of stamina.
As a side note, King Jock won today. I'm not sure if a certain member here will like that news or not

Sad news. Gave her a thread in The Paddock section.
Stack filly Alexander Tango killed in freak accident by Tony O'Hehir ALEXANDER TANGO, winner of the Grade 1 Garden City Stakes at Belmont Park on September 8 for trainer Tommy Stack, has been killed in a freak accident while in quarantine in Kentucky. Fozzy Stack, son of the filly's trainer, said Tuesday: "The accident happened during the night. The filly was out in a paddock at Woods Edge Farm, which is owned by Paul O'Callaghan, a nephew of Alexander Tango's owner, Noel O'Callaghan, when something frightened her and she jumped rails, fatally injuring herself." Stack added: "It is a shame, as she was such a good filly, and we were all looking forward to racing her again next year." Alexander Tango, a daughter of Danehill Dancer, won four of her 12 starts. She won over 7f at the Curragh in 2006 before enjoying a successful three-year-old campaign, during which she landed the Group 3 Derrinstown Stud 1,000 Guineas over 1m at Leopardstown, the Listed Kilboy Estates Stakes over 1m1f at the Curragh, and the aforementioned Grade 1 over 1m1f in the US. On what proved tobe her final start, she finished seventh of nine in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes over 1m2f, also at Belmont, three weeks after her career-best success at the same track. Rest In Peace, good girl.

That's horrible, sorry to hear.
In a piece of good news, it doesn't look like I'm going to have to post a tribute to one of my favourite horses in the Angels thread any time soon: Things were looking really bad a few days ago for Joker: http://www.racingandsports.com.au/ra...asp?NID=115179 But I've heard a recent update from the team that says he's "on the improve" and "veterinary team are hopeful". What a fighter he is. Get well soon Joker.

Can any of the Aussie racing fans on here tell me if David Nolan is riding out there at the moment?
He is banned from racing here and i've heard he is working over there. Can anyone spread any light on this?
