Does Kadyrov get the

Of course he should.

I was at Flemington on Tuesday, and both before, during and now after the race I don't think it was one of the best renewals we have seen (and that is perhaps being generous).

For once, they went off pretty slow in a staying race, which is widely noted for the pace it is run at.

There were a lot of non stayers in the race and a lot of horses who needed them to go faster.

Crime Scene should never ever be allowed to get so close to winning a Melbourne Cup. Because it was run more like a European staying event, the English horses ran pretty well.

Well done to Shocking, but I'm less than convinced the best horse won.

From a North American standpoint I share this view, this year's Cup was a little on the light side from an excitement standpoint.
