    Many thanks, Janabelle13, that's great. 5 a.m. down where I live, but will get up for it! <ok>

    TopClass: "The United States", what a mouthful for the commentator?

    <laugh> Can you imagine this at Royal Ascot, or even with the 'county set' at Newton Abbot?

    I'm having a small win bet on Bondi Beach and a place on Snow Sky, but both drawn wide.

    If old Red Cadeaux can pull this off, it will be one of the all time great wins. Another highlight is the grand old man of racing, Jim "Pumper" Cassidy, who at 52 is about to retire. He has better that 100 Group wins to his name. Two fantastic athletes.

    Red Cadeaux has broken down and failed to finish. He's been taken to Werribee Vets where he's under the knife for a fetlock injury.

    Watched it from the bookies and I'd like to see the time because they didn't seem to go any pace down the back straight. Well done to the winning jockey but a few jocks need a refresher on keeping their horses straight. They were wandering around all over the place 300m out.

    Frankie Dettori was rubbed our for a month and fined $20,000 for his actions in the straight. He started the the problems that ended up putting about half a dozen horses off course in the straight. He caused them to scatter like nine pins. He pleaded guilty.
