G3 2yo

[Huey]

How can anyone claim this to be a G3 race , compare to the 2yo races at Rosehill & Sandown it's an absolute joke this can go down on a horses CV as a G3.

Two very very good 2yr olds quinelled the race.  

Why would you consider it a joke?

I will accept though that this race has been stuffed up from the pattern perspective.  The field quality has dropped off since the introduction of the KM.

It was a maiden with 1 horse that had won. A Joke of a group 3 I agree,but easy for us punters.

Was better than bank interest and easy money.

Think All Blacks playing in your local competition

I am not a big fan of odds on betting but the Te Akau 2yo into Wilydoit was a quick investment for a nice night out. They both looked absolute good things on paper if they didn't fall over

Remains to be seen if the 2nd horse is a good horse, the winner certainly is decent for NZ but it would want to be at that price.

From a Black Type perspective that race was higher than the KM (yes I know it's a sales race closed off etc) but for goodness sake anyone who thinks that race was deserving of G3 status needs a lobotomy,  it's also much worse than when Taranaki had it.
