Thomass Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If ever this cliche needed to be used...it was in this race! Vinnie was so far up VAN BLANC he could have expended the same going up the Mont...drifted out to last....then Winnie went into overdrive...and ...NEVER GAVE UP...one round the ass..then a two...unfortunately for him he broke the whip rules down the straight...but who cares in NZ...the Stipes love Winnie and they'll simply ignore it...because Vinnie... ...NEVER GAVE UP... ...like Taylor Wenn did in forf place...who should have run 3rd...SHE GAVE UP... ...even though she's GEORGUS...they'll send her to the salt mines for a month...unlike Vinnie Who...NEVER GAVE UP Oh...did I mention BLINKERS ON first time?? Yea, they helped enormous...and probably why it drifted in the first place! Did they make Van go faster? Yea of course...like a rocket in fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I also thought Matt Cameron gave up when the winner went past him. Van Blanc didn't exactly pull away and there was still ample time for the inside runner to fight back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasel Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Van Blanc had a big change of attitude once he got going in the better ground out wide. I had backed him in preference to his stablemate and I had given up before the turn, he was travellin' that bad! Funny old game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she'd done an 'Opee on Watch Officer' she'd have got a month... usually in winter we have a whole lot more of this...either the Stipes have gone to sleep or the Jocks have woken up!
