I'm pretty confident you have no idea what you are taking about. ....futura is probably the least overrated horse in the field.

Perhaps you are correct about my opinion Chris, I'm not here to offend anyone, just stating my opinion. I wasn't referring to actual ratings etc... just voicing my opinion in terms of how punters rate him.

Anyhow, if you've struck a bet, I wish you all the best!

Snaiths seem confident with Futura. At levels weights he looks a great bet. At 5/2 available, fill your boots.

Just as a matter of interest, does anyone know how many times Justin Snaith has won the Queens Plate? Thanks in advance.

I think only Gimmethegreenlight..not sure though

need to see a replay. saw him near the back round the turn, couldn't believe it when he flew for 4th.

Can someone post the video please?
Did not watch the race am busy slaving lol

At least tarry is one trainer who lets his horses do the talking

There will always be bad luck stories in racing, but make no mistake, Legal Eagle has proven that he is going to be one of the greats - winning the QP in only his 9th start against some the best milers in the country was an exceptional performance over a distance arguably sort of his best - I certainly did not see that one coming.

Very strange ride on Captain America - maybe he did not get the best of breaks

Suddenly the Met is no longer the one horse race many (including me) thought it would be :ohmy:

Flaunt, i thought Snaith was very gracious today, he congratulated the connections of Legal Eagle and said everyone wondered if legal eagle deserved his 120 rating " i think hes better than 120 "

nothing to do with him just gubbing his two highly rated horses out the park over a trip thats short of his best
