now that's a very unkind cut there, Hesi ..you could at least have added a question mark...would assist your cause in deflecting the pending lawsuit from Maxi's very experienced and very expensive lawyer(s)

The very moment the young, slinky, sexy, female Mustelid said that to Max at the local 'hop' it was love at first slurp

Back to the racing....

As @mardigrashas said, the best horses (three plus one helped by a big weight concession) finished well ahead of a lot of dead wood.

Is this the race you lot want?

Let's be honest - half a dozen class European challengers would have made for a better race - take nothing away from the winner, she was superb - but where was the strength in depth? Racing Victoria need to rethink the obvious attempts to stop the Europeans winning the race - the truth is, the best of the Australian and New Zealanders will always hold their own against the best Europeans but if you have a weak field expect the prize to head north.

If you suppose SPANISH MISSION ran to his European mark, you'd put VERRY ELLEEGANT on about 121 which ties in with her runs against ADDEYBB in the spring. That would make her a serious European Group 1 player - inferior (arguably) to MISHRIFF and ST MARK'S BASILICA but I'd love to see her in Meydan in a race like the Sheema Classic taking on MISHRIFF and the top Japanese runners.

That would be a global racing event.
