Prophetic words indeed, Gimmethegreenlight was vintage Striker Strydom stuff.(tu)

Will GMGL run in the breeders cup dirt/ grass mile or evn sprint?His sire has sired a breeders cup turf sprint winner and two breeders cup juvinile winners over a mile.Team Valor owned Pluck out of the fort wood mare secret heart won the breeders cup juvinile fillies last year.

My guess would be the Mile, on turf. The Turf Sprint is an option I suppose, but not the dirt or Tapeta Spruint against the American flying machines. Gimmethegreenlight's sire was a Gr 1 winner over 1400m in the USA, on dirt I think, for what it's worth.

So whats the clans analysis of ebony flyer ?

She never looked happy and was checked about 200m out would have finished closer... wait to fight another day

last year she recieved 7.5kg from tales of bravery and was beaten .75l this year she recieved 2.5kg from him and finished 4.5lengths behind him....so looking at that she ran to her ability consideribg tales also ran to his imo..she had a trouble free race the pace was on she was well positioned so unless she suffered from breathing problems there are no excuses and that is her

Ebony Flier? I backed it and thought it was a very disappointing run, but the connections must feel terrible, it was always the aim to go for the Queens Plate since last year and with the build up it sounded as if the Snaith brothers felt it would beat GMTGL ?
That's racing but will live to fight another day.
