Okay who here hit it? Anyone?

the best thing to happen to Efficient was for the jockey SW Arnold to hop off. Rodd takes him back farther and gets much more from the horse. wish i would have looked closer at this horse, instead of throwing him out.
 and of course he was blinkers off which isn't noted in the pp's i have. nice win, and solid races from Purple Moon and Mahler too.

distant horses like to do the 2000 mtres on the sat to finish off there prep for the 3200 mtre on the tue,just finishes them off, gets them prepped just right .Sometimes its great for a punt brew comes to mind as you win on the sat & then on the tue also some horses have to win on the sat just to get into the melbourne cup

A fantastic race, even though i had to get up at 4am to watch it (that didn't impress me too much!).
This is probably a biased view but i thought Mahler was the horse to take from the race. Always up with the fairly strong pace set by Tungsten Strike, and as far as i could see all the horses that raced very close to the pace (apart from Mahler) all finished out the back. He is a proper stayer, and as Brockguy said the other day he just lacks that change of gear, which both Purple Moon and Efficient had. Mahler is going to be some 'cup' horse in the UK next year. Ascot Gold Cup here we come! Thought Purple Moon had the race in the back in the final furlong, but Efficient came from the clouds, a great run from him and a really well judged ride from the jock. MMSC, why did you change your pick? That is the first rule of betting/handicapping....... never change your mind
