MR of Variety Club and Jackson

Ah the joys of the Internet. Every one's a comedian, but few have the balls to write under their own names. Well, whatever my faults may be, your take on Bulsara is marginally less clever than my cat's.

The odds would probably be very good on your Cat to beat Bulsara.

Yes, the horse ran two lengths off in the July and a neck off in the Champions Cup and you'd make him what? 72?

Bulsara was beaten 2l in the July carrying the same weight as Igugu,he was then beaten a neck in the champions cup by the Apache ..pretty consistent if you ask me...

oops beat me to it ML()

I know Bulsara's form since the KZN season has been way below best, but on best form he is well over a 100.

Or else the superstar Igugu is a 76 at best...

Bulsara is classy individual and one to watch in this coming season..
Not sure about handicapping and that myself, but he 5th in july and 2nd in champions cup(as lips and hibs pointed out) were outstanding runs..

I rather suspect that that Champions Cup was his one great shot at winning a Gr 1, but he got done by his stable companion. Maybe he will bounce back, maybe he won't, but given his good form in major races I think it's rather silly to suggest he was only allowed in because of who owns him. He clearly belonged in those races on merit, as did Mrs O's Service Ace before him (despite being "only" a 1 time winner).

Bit off topic, but what happened to Service Ace in the old end? Will we see him out on the track again? I remember how he was talked up as a champ-in-waiting, then suddenly he was gone.

Ok I concede

Bulsara may be many things

But I have never seen a horse who is so gracious in defeat considering that it happens so often.
