A schadenfreude on behalf of the jockey, laughing at the rest and making a statement in the process.
Very nearly came back to bite him.

She had just enough in the locker to do enough to win today, as simple as that.

if she had won by 5 you would have still been on about her not being much cop..so whats the point?
she just coasted the whole race to my eye..lets see what others think eh?

After all the build up I can't help feeling a bit underwhelmed.
watch the replay again
BC is a bridle horse and jockey stops psuhing between 5oyds and 20yds out,
fully pushed would not have won by more than 1/2 lenghts
she shoudl have run today to a mark of 122/123 no more than that and being generous
stud beckons

Loads in hand!!!... she's won by a sliver. Who would have won in another twenty yards? You were right she won, but I'd leave it at that if I were you. I'm trying to congratulate you
why do i need congratulating?
i don't understand the mentality of people not wanting to see a great horse win a race ..just because she's from other shores

me too...but thats purely down to how she was ridden...funny how none of the Little Britain crowd have noticed..but if it had been an ordinary race with their money on..they would have never shut up about the poor ride

no...simply because you didn't know she would be so badly ridden..and thats what has caused the result to be so close
if you think that was a good ride..then we are definately never going to agree
i'm not wasting any more time on this..if people think that was a great ride and represents how superior she is..then all power to em

Well done to the Midnight Clouds backers and well pointed out by Gareth that Longchamp is an easy 7f.

what angle?..lmao..oppose a horse because she's trained in Australia with about 10 osses over period of 2 months just because they are double digit odds..our cat can do that :lol:

Thanks... I think Moonlight Cloud is much better than many believe. I have to concede she was beaten by the better horse on the day. But I'd love to see a rematch.
They are, and she is - but under very different circumstances to today.
The real pity is today's result will give ammunition to the knockers of Australian racing, when the reality is that Black Caviar is still probably one of the best sprinters the world has ever seen.

Is this you holding your hand up? :lol::lol:

i already said i was wrong about MC..looks like your reading skills match your winner picking ones..i even bolded it for you
but anyone on here who thinks that was a good ride is an idiot imo
maybe i should do what you do..get it wrong 99% of the time and then disappear for a few days whilst folk forget

how much did you get back on the win?
i don't back in races like this..not that many exist..i'd rather just watch..there are thousands of races to bet on..i just find it sad to want really good horses to lose..very sad
She is a great sprinter. No one's is denying that. Personally I think she has done brilliantly to come here and win and it is a credit to her connections that she has.
My point all along has been the very difficulty of this didn't make her an odds-on shot.

I think suny summed it up. She's probably lost three or four pounds though age like Goldikova did and that, plus her jockey's inexperience on the track (did he have any other rides during the week) bought a mid 120s filly into her vicinity.
