Today is the day for Cougar Express. Loses Paul Harvey from the saddle but gets highly credentialed apprentice Aaron Mitchell aboard and from barrier 2 he should lead without any challenge, control and win. Has had the better of Bayatorio, Saxy Grace, Keysbrook and Uncle George at recent starts and meets most of those gallopers better at the weights for beating them home. The race looked his for the taking last start until The Ladies Choice rounded the field from last in a suicide mission jihad to get him beaten. Danny Miller doesn't accompany 500-1 shot Rock Prince so I can't see anything making a ridiculous mid-race move and it should be Cougar Express' for the taking. Uncle George is backed week in, week out and his loyal punters are yet to really steal anything from the bookies. He should be around the place yet again but hasn't graced the winners' enclosure for 931 days. Bayatorio is closing in on a middle distance victory but is yet to win over 1400m or at Ascot after 15 attempts.

The cat and whatever his reason for stopping it from winning has cost me close to a 5 grand payout from different multis I've spent $145 on! I can tell you if I ever meet the bloke in person or anyone close to him I'll be sure to let him know about it! And the...

My issue is not how he rode the horse out as it came home like a train, rather how long it took him to make the run. I agree. Waited far too long to make his run. Why was it behind horses for so long ?
