He's done well. Should've won a Caulfield Cup (Damien Oliver, the overrated hack, didn't follow the one simple instruction he was given in that race), and has placed 3 times in a Cox Plate including a win, and he's done all that without being really capable of sprinting. Prior to doing his second suspensory ligament, he had a finish as strong as El Segundo's is now on his best day.
Nothing to do with Boss, his mount gave donuts (although i did enjoy watching that cocky arsehole bring up the tail of the field). Another Sydneysider falls by the wayside.
For a horse that isn't really that good he has done exceptional.
Just gives itself every chance to win and gee doesn't it love the Valley.
I have two connections to the horse's owners and while my wallet wanted others to win, it was great and fitting to see the old boy win in it's last race.
