The cheeky Irish bastards want the local rules to be changed so the Irish horse, Slade Power can be put in last into the barriers.
With the Caulfield Cup gone to the Nips, those Irish Coomore bastards getting our Cox Plate and the Nazis stealing the Melbourne Cup, there was no way the rules were going to be bent.
The previous races mentioned may be the most well known in Australia but for the racing purists (like meself )
THE race of the spring is the Darley Classic over 1200 metres this Saturday. The cre'me de la cre'me of Australia's powerhouse sprinters line up. Buffering, Lankan Rupee, Famous Seamus, Terravista, Rebel Dane and the new kid on the block Chautauqua who will start favourite. Throw in Slade Power to the mix and it will be a magnificent contest.
Have a look at the lead up race, the Manikato Stakes from a couple of weeks ago. One of the best races you will ever see. They went flat chat from go to whoa. The first 6 across the line finish within a neck of the winner.
Roll on Saturday
