Pops what made that win even more amazing was on that day at Randwick nothing was winning from the back it was a leaders track and for that horse to win from where it was and make up that much ground in a Group 1 against very good sprinters is just mind boggling....then it refused to leave the barriers the rest of it's career lol....what an animal !
And Effcient winning the 2007 cup, I backed him for a stack that year leading up to the cup and when he was 27-1 on cup day I kept backing him. Getting the Quin trifecta didn't hurt either.
Kingstown Town winning 3rd cox plate with famous call " kingstown town cant win ". Great horse lucky enough to seen him win live. Big Black machine. Obviously WINX was a great and saw her many times. Another favourite was old Vo Rogue... great Qld horse as tough as nails.

Needless to say,he won the cup and I collected around $20 win and place. In those days,that was a lot of money.
"Look i think it is more than just being put on the Wing. I think Flanno is a reason. Wanting to play semi's is another.
I think a move away will be an awakening for Lomax. He was on with Fltech and Hindy with Lawrie in 2022 and he mimicked Griffin.…"
"600k is OK for the right winger. The Panthers sets are built on what their back 3 do on tackle one. The more momentum at the start of a set the more expansive a team can play but if our back three are getting smashed on tackle one and two it puts…"
