Default Thanks

Thanks to all for their responses. I thought Arapho Miss would like the extra furlong based on the progressively stretching her out. She sure looked great and I am glad the winning connections are good folks.

Just curious Ed if you know whether the horses that run on such short rest have much success in the Group Stake races in Australia and England?

Not sure about England, but the MacKinnon Stakes on the Saturday in Australia is known as the main prep for the Melbourne Cup on the Tuesday.

Not sure of the exact number, but a lot of horses have won both races in the same week - although it has been 8 years now since the last time it happened.
