Those endless straights at Newmarket, York, Doncaster etc could suit, but there again he has won at Greyville!

If I'm not mistaken, he 'only' won the Gold Cup at Greyville, where he outstayed some moderate SA stayers; definitely seems a better horse at gallopping tracks - but nothing wrong with the 3rd place stake cheque today, well done.

Also ran with almost top weight and won with some run in hand.

Most of his wins were at Greyville - Some say a Greyville specialist

Won 3 in a row at Greyville from a mile to 1900m before he won the Gold Cup....feedback from the powers to be say that they slowed the race a lot in the middle and that didnt suite him....for that Barend says he will have been closer.A little break now and then we'll look for staying races in OZ,HK or NZ....
