Thoughts on Puccini, ed?

I kinda hope he goes back home.

I'm not sure about Puccini. He was so disappointing - a long, long way off his best. I don't know if that's because he's had enough for this season, or if there's another reason. There are a few other explanations - he didn't seem to like the very wet track; Walker reported that his saddle slipped forward, which might have caused discomfort; and McKay said he wasn't ridden the way they had planned. So maybe it wasn't his fault and he might do better next time? I don't know. Hard decision to make!

Definitely a nice run from Military Move. And so happy for O'Marilyn - brave win, and well deserved after being so close in her last few. And how about Stephen McKee, Pinzaara's trainer? O'Marilyn first, Prince Mambo second and Passing Shot fourth. First, second, fourth in a G1!

Brilliant win! She's just running so well at the moment. That performance put her on the list of contenders for the Horse of the Year, but I think Silent Achiever had something to say about that half an hour later.

Any thoughts on The Hombre's race?

I hate to even say it was disappointing (and that was nice to see McLaren get another win) but is he done or was it the track.... just not his day? Just wondering if you had any thoughts.
