All Silent absolutely disgraceful. Not sure where they go from here now. Take nothing away from the winner, deserved a big race win.

what did you expect - the on pacers were winning and he was always going to be near the tail. very good horse but so were the ones up the front. well done Wanted, very well deserved.

WANTED.. new his day would come 1k each way @ 21s Giddy up.
Shame about the weather..Denman/1600 ?? will have to wait another day.

All Silent ran the third fastest 600m sectional. Is it really that disgraceful?

SINESTRO And the 73 year curse for first uppers continues!

SINESTRO how many horse's have actually gone into that race first up ?? I wouldn't think many...

172

To my surprise run of that race was TOLLESPRIT. Huge. I wouldn't be too harsh on any of the beaten brigade it was a difficult time to be racing.

run of the race was my dog BELLA... she bolted at the 200m mark when dad started screaming KICK KICK KICK

Lucky enough to get the exacta 20 x so more than makes up for the $300 I had on All Silent about 4 weeks ago....Wanted was certainly due

Money, have to completely disagree. Wanted was the run of the race EASILY. Was way too good for them on this day. Weird race to watch the replay of, basically nothing makes any ground, if anything Wanted is going away from them. Ended up backing Arinos and having Wanted, Light Fantastic and Arinos into the Guineas and the Aus Cup as I just could not have All Silent because he needs the track hard. Sinestro I know All Silent ran the third quickest 600 but what does that mean? Pretty easy to finish off quick when you've done nothing and have no hope of winning I would suggest?

What did people think of Gran Sasso? Seemed very popular on here and I couldn't really work out why?

I think you summed it up yourself, Molanski: "Basically nothing makes up any ground". I think you'll find his run was ok and certainly better than it looked. But of course, that is always in the eye of the beholder.

GRAN SASSO in my books is not a G1 horse. Had a discussion with Chilli about it earlier in the day.

did i win the bet though MONEY?? beat ALL SILENT home didnt it?

Completely baffled me why anyone on here would have spruiked Gran Sasso .........has never won a black type race and best has been 2placings at Listed level.............will NEVER win a Grp 1.........can't really help you Molanski...........very strange.

Sorry chilli..........AS 11th ......GS 13th............

buggar!! so right with the big lay ALL SILENT all day and let down by the SASSY... as far as SASSY was concerned the trainer and owner were giving it the biggest spruik ive heard in a while... said it was going better than theyve ever seen and would walk into this at 110% and flying... half the battle of backing a horse is to make sure its right to run well...a few of us got sucked in.

Yeah chilli........easy done isn't it?......... I sometimes think we now have access to too much information.....it can sometimes get in the way of logic/reason. I have promised myself to NEVER listen to, or read comments made by trainers and/or jockeys.......but still get sucked in occasionally........bl#%dy hard game this!!!!............

some trainers are better that others in this regard.......Moody and Price are worth listening to and Gai, well, some of her comments are comical. Kavanagh and Hayes you can sort of guage their confidence in their voice. Geez I'm starting to sound like a psycholigist !! I'm happy with Wanted winning as I have purchased a share in a Fastnet Rock colt so Wanted's Group 1 win can only add to the value of him. He's with G Eurell so fingers crossed he can get him going to win a race or 3

Agreed TT, just couldn't see how he could possibly win this race even if he was flying but I can understand people getting sucked in having heard whispers, happens to all of us. Sinestro, I never said he ran badly, just didn't think it was really a run worth noting. Not bagging him but not crediting him either.

Maybe the blinkers going on didn't do him any favours Mola... It was a strange one by Price as he didn't wear them last prep when he was flying!
