I note former and very experienced jockey Bob Vance supports the theory it was the colour change that caused the horse to shy

Apologies changed my mind viewing the overhead she did start veering in 3-4 lengths before the rail changing colour

Agree totally

She has done extremely well against the best Aus has to offer (unlike Damask Rose), but a G1 win is the glittering prize. As you know, horses are unpredictable, look at Savaglee, a champion in waiting at 3, never came back at 4

Yes a big run and she is a quality, genuine G1 horse, but why are they not putting her over more ground, that is her forte and why they paid big money for her. Is there a lack of suitable races. They need to get a wriggle on and secure a G1 win for her breeding value, and except for Winx they only have a limited life at the top.

Another example of not trusting AI

Have a look at the video. The last 100m That's Gold was clearly stopping

That's Gold according to the rider failed to stay the distance. How many times does that happen, showing a brilliance over 2000m (Avondale Guineas) but then not seeing out the 2400m. Yulong made the wrong call there, or maybe not. On recent experiences (Willydoit and Leica Lucy) brilliant over 2400m, but only ever raced up to 1600m in Aus

If she can break 1.21 for 1400m, she is a sprinter

Why was she not in the Newmarket then

Yes, but not in Aus

You were right for once lol

She established herself in NZ as a class filly through winning races 2000-2400m. Since she has been in Aus, only her first start, the Aus Oaks was over distance, every other race has been 1400-1600m, like today. Same situation with Willydoit, never once raced in Aus past 1600m, yet established himself in NZ as a quality stayer

We will never increase the quality of our group races as long as people like Yulong take off the cream as it rises

Have a look at the video, was not in reaction to a whip strike. Collet used the whip twice 20-30 m before she shied
