It's understandable he's looking after her, but if he scratches her on race morning those that took the fixed odds etc. on any runner will be short changed by deductions etc. and the race makeup totally changes complexion.

If she recovers ok from her Oaks run I'd be running her in the Derby. From memory Oaks winners do pretty well whenever they backup. Most recent runs by the Parnham pair were below expectation. Last start winner Brother Mak should relish the extra distance. The David Hayes-trained Chartreux did well when runner-up behind the promising staying Rundle last time out Flemington. |
