I'm going to throw one at you, Samantha Miss, have been touting this little filly for months and have to admit to feeling a tad pleased with myself after todays win, will more than likely go towards the oaks, but Kris Lees has paid 1st acceptances, so who knows. its certainly not in the realms of complete fantasy..and didn't Pompei Ruler return to racing in cracking style...the build up to the race, might be as just good as the race itself...Bring it on!.. The Cox plate, the race of champions for sure, who’d ever forget Bonecrusher and Our Waverly star busting a gut in that famous race, neither horse where ever quite the same after that..or Kington Town getting his 3rd, unbelievable stuff
