He's no slouch but getting on a bit in age. There are countless examples over the years where a horse of his ability snaps a race out of the blue. Just because he was paying $150-1 doesn't mean he had zero chance. -

You obviously can't read a race at all. "20 lengths" - you're sure kidding?!! No - why would I? It was value in that race because of the skew towards the large amounts on the two favourites. The fact is instead of you objectively looking at the race you immediately start making inferences around swabing and something nefarious occurring. The horse isn't a slouch, has won at Group level before and a 1:53 mile and a quick final 400m isn't beyond its ability IF everything goes its way. Move on - nothing to see here. PS: have you seen the vet report yet for that galloper? -
He had a Winter campaign in Brisbane last Winter. 11 starts for 1 win and 10 unplaced runs. Because the FFA class in Brisbane is quite strong really. they really rattle along fast. can't remember what he paid in that win but would of been BIG odds (beat a Grimson runner) old kiwi Auckland Cup winner is always hard to beat >>Turn It Up . one of the best here. His last start in Queensland Mach Shard was 5th to another old kiwi 'Hot and Treacherous' . who seems a fair sort of horse. Probably about same ability as Mach Shard I spose. going way back Mach Shard ran a Place in the Interdominion Grand Final at Auckland , so that is a great feat, so is a better horse going around right handed it seems ? -

Look out, Golden Sixty, ROMANTIC WARRIOR (IRE) (g, 6, Acclamation {GB}–Folk Melody {Ire}, by Street Cry {Ire}) is coming for one of your records. One race after the three-time Hong Kong Horse of the Year struggled with the underfoot conditions in the G1 FWD Champions Mile, Romantic Warrior got just the better of a valiant and brilliantly ridden Prognosis (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in a final-furlong tussle to win the G1 FWD QE II Cup for the third year running. Three deep into the first turn from a high draw, Romantic Warrior was hung out to dry without cover before James McDonald tapped on the brakes just enough to allow the 6-year-old to slot in on the back of Sword Point (Aus) (American Pharoah) in the two path. Seconds later, Yuga Kawada set last year's runner-up Prognosis alight after a very tardy dispatch, zooming up outside of rivals to be a forward factor as North Bridge (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}) was on an all-the-way mission up front. Appearing to spin his wheels in the rain-affected going passing the 600 metres, Romantic Warrior followed the four-wide move of Prognosis into the Sha Tin straight. Finally finding his best stride with a furlong and a half to race, he edged past Prognosis, who remained in for the fight, but ultimately went down to a half-length defeat. North Bridge lasted for third. Romantic Warrior has amassed earnings of roughly HK$142 million, within shouting distance of Golden Sixty's HK$167 million as the leading money spinner in the history of the Hong Kong turf.
