Well Written passed my last test and that was to see her covered up and needing to take some rough and tumble to get clear and moving.  She did that well. I'm not as enthusiastic about her race sectionals as some are. The run yesterday that caught my eye was Sweynesday.

I guess only time will tell about our age group races. Well Written maybe?

Well no OZ Grp 1 features in the top 10 world ratings.   But yes our Grp 1's are struggling to hold status especially WFA and Open Class.   Part of my theory is that the sit and sprint style of racing that has taken hold is making our horses weaker.  They are just not used to maintaining a high cruise and then sprinting off that.  It was great to see some class Jockeys not afraid to go forward at the start, sit wide or go early on the bend.
