I might be wrong , but The Stone Thrower looked dead on his feet , Skynight was full off running, not sure I would compare the rides

Sure I heard Andre Bon say The Stone Thrower looked like he would come on for the ride

Exactly my thoughts Durbs, but Bob could be right and Strydom felt there was nothing in the tank in the final 100 so didn't want to punish the horse if it couldn't win....

We have seen Strydom carry his horse over the line many times but for me that ride he didn't give full effort and seemed to just give up.No doubting his ability though.

Andrew Bonn must be the world's greatest "waffler" about zero, I wish he'd rather not tip his quartets etc, he's embarrassing if this feed is going overseas.
