Yeah sorry, could easily be read that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Caller Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 39 minutes ago, mardigras said: (1) may have been the answer for 3000m+ - as has raced in 3000m races a lot. As well as a number of 3200m. But not enough of those at 3200m (He's a real tryer - 158 starts so far at last count) (2) Charles Road - not quite Midnight Caller - has only has about 5 or 6 runs at 3200 (WST has had 10 3200m starts). Hartnell, also only around 4/5 starts at 3200m Wicklow Brave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raced at least 10 times over 3200m, won a Sydney Cup, second in two others and also second in a Brisbane Cup. Spot on VvD. Well done.

mardigras Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 4 minutes ago, Midnight Caller said: Wicklow Brave I sense a bit of a UK background MC? these are all oz/NZ - and whilst Wicklow Brave raced a number of times over 3200m, he mostly raced over jumps at that distance. So I was excluding jumps starts. Sadly, he died in a jumps race as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
