I hadn't written Viewed off totally didn't have anything on it did think it was massive overs compared to it's stable mate however, The run on saturday didn't really put me off him more what happened in the run all the way up the straight he was like a pinball between Rampant Lion and Princess Coup and was worried that he wouldn't back up from that more than anything.

If the track had a bit of rain on it I would have probably thrown $10 on him even if it was only dead just didn't like him with what looked to be a rock hard surface.

Here is the problem now guys it has happened 2 years in a row now where a so called outsider has won the race because of such a massive form reversal, Not necessarily the case for either year. The problem is the lead up races for the most part were run at such a farcical pace that everyone is left guess what might run the trip out and what might not you don't really get to see where the stamina really kicks in.

Personally all I did was pull even on the race with an E/W bet on C'est La Guerre who went out at ridiculos odds I feel Lloyd would not have paid up with him if they didn't think he was capable this year, so all was not lost on the race but still a disappointing result.
