The ground has come right for Workforce, will be a staying test with Poet & Distant Memories ensuring a decent pace

The first race was fought out by two horses that had arguably the best form on slow ground

its not my ideal sort of price Steve but the conditions are so suitable for the best horse in the race

Plenty of discussion on this race EC in the Tattersalls Gold Cup thread.

give that race another 2f and there was only one way the winner was moving..would have come away imo..

At work so didn't see the race. Has he grown from three to four? Any news on his next target?

they said on radio he hadn't grown height wise much but had filled out a fair bit..looked to me to be a right bull of a horse..impressive looker

I collected on the place part of my snide each way on JV, but that was disappointing. The fast pace should have suited him. The ground might be an excuse, and he may need the run. I will give him another chance.
The winner did it well. I wonder will he race at Sandown or Ascot in his next race.

I would think Sandown is more likely but they should not be afraid of So You Think at Ascot.

No, but the short straight at Ascot and the likely ground will make it tough for him.

Might get a good price on So You Think then.

I wouldn't take less than 4/6 So You Think in a match bet with Workforce at Ascot. That's just my gut reaction, I'd be interested if people feel that's way out.

I would take Workforce everytime - He has done it - his Arc win especially stands out. So You Think still has it to prove for me - what weight would Workforce get in a Melbourne Cup??

Who cares about Melbourne Cups. Australian racing is crap. I don't even stay up for the Melbourne Cup.

I agree about the Melbourne Cup, but winning two Cox Plate's isn't to be sniffed at.

Nor is it to be given to much reverence.

Noboby... Just making the point that people are getting carried away with SYT after beating two sets of statues... We must remember he was soundly beaten in a handicap recently enough.......
