Victim of circumstances I think. Gary Hall was never going to let him past to park and was a waste of time dragging back to last.

It was reported Lazarus ran an additional 50m being parked three-wide for the entire 2536m journey - extra distance seems a bit light but still overload. I bet if you guys owned this horse you woundn't be such passive pavlova's!

Tough run all right. Reports emphasised the 50 metres extra he ran- but not 50 metres more than the other ones off the pegs too.

I think some of our other good drivers would have used more patience, rather than a "bull at a gate" method and responded to the inevitable stipes enquiry later.
Am sorry for the horse- not the first to be asked to do the almost impossible which usually leads to severe after effects.

That would not be a good look eljay. Nat letting Mark into the 1x1.

The Fremantle Cup really has no more status than say the Kaikoura Cup ? Would you ever race Lazarus in the dunes at Kaikoura?

NO
