He had plenty of run with the 50.5, and I think he was the winner all the way.
But that is easy to say with the two fancies scratching. I might have been lucky, but that's racing. That is three years in a row I have hit the Cup. Railings two back, then I bought a used Daihatsu with the winnings off of Tawqeet last year while standing next to Richard Freedman while it ran. And now Master O'Reilly gets home for me. I'm gonna bet $1,000 next year on my horse. I apparently can't lose this race.

This is disturbing..... Shock: Television Clamps Could Have Caused Maldivian's Injuries The Caulfield Cup sensation relating to the late scratching of hot favourite Maldivian has taken an incredible twist this evening. Stewards are to launch a full scale investigation into what caused a large gash down Maldivian's neck which led to the gelding being scratched. Metal clamps used to broadcast television footage from the starting gates was found with traces of blood and could be to blame for Maldivian's injury. It is understood the the microphone and transmitter belonged to the racing industry's official footage company Sportscolour. Maldivian suffered a large gash starting just behind his offside ear and running for at least seven inches. The Mark Kavanagh trained gelding was treated by veterinarians and ten stitches were required to mend the injury. RVL chief steward Des Gleeson confirmed tonight that his panel would conduct a thorough investigation into the possibility that the transmitter and the associated clamps caused the injury that led to Maldivian's scratching. Gleeson said he was unaware of the device being clamped to the gates - believed to be between the first and second stalls. * * * Oh and cheers to the Princess... forgot to say that.

Yeah, i didn't see the race but one of the lads who i was with today did and said about the gash on the horse's neck. He said it looked quite serious.
I hope everything turns out okay with Maldivian.

You can see the pre race incidents and the race here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3NLk2uOhwY When they walk Maldavian back to the saddling area you can see the blood on his neck. You also can see the jock thrown backwards when the horse reared up the second time in the gate.
