No Love Struck..I'm really shocked,maybe the trainer was in the country more than spending his time overseas he would make better decisions,this horse is lookn for 2000m and when he gets the chance,his trainer rather bring him home,sure his trip was worthwhile because he won the polition stakes,but none the less he would of ran a top race to ctn because no doubt ctn is a top top horse but no1 knows whether he stays the derby distance.

Take out CTN and this is an average field with maybe one or two horses showing glimpses of being above average like Grays champ and Dynamic...and to consider that this is a Grade 1 race...

I'm pretty sad here. The Derby is my favourite race on met day....this field, apart from CTN is way sub par.

Anyway I guess the fields can't be stars every year.....

Not even interested in having a bet here....

I also have some doubts - but in this field he may be too good even if he does not stay ::o

I am wondering if this disgracefully low stake is finally starting to have effect and has made visiting trainers, in particular, say : Why bother?.

This race - which has produced an almost unending production line of champions - continues to be underfunded.

I find it absolutely amazing that Investec can 'find' the funds to sponsor the Epsom Derby for godzillions ( in rand terms ) yet have made no effort to increase this truly paltry stake in recent years. To say nothing of all the usual industry freeloaders that they have been happy to fly to the UK race from SA.

This also has to be another indictment of the Cape marketing (sic) team. If they cannot find another substantial secondary sponsor for this Met Day classic ( with all the PR value that the day carries ) then I really think they should be replaced.

Hibs, I told my old man the same thing last night. Just a gut feel. Perhaps also because he runs in Noordhoek Flyers colours, Im associating here. I really fancy Sanshawes
