After six straight wins that saw Lankan Rupee catapulted to the top of the world rankings, the big horse returned with much fanfare. But he's struggled. In both his runs this time in, he's been rolled, beaten a short head on both occasions. The latest being in the G1 Moir where Buffering eyeballed him and just nailed him. Tonight one of the strongest fields seen here in some time lined up in the G1 Manikato Stakes at the Valley. It was make or break time for the horse. They took the punt on riding him for dear life from the barrier, risking a massacre at the end. It turned out to be one hell of a race.
