Efficient has been ruled out. (Soreness).

Yeats / Delta Blues / Headturner or Maybe Better (can't decide!).

If anyone needs these.....

WHat an incredible finish for the Japanese! And my old favorite Sunday Silence. Delta Blues noses out Pop Rock, pulled clear of the rest. Yeats got to the lead at the head of the straight, but couldn't keep going.

As the interviewer on horseback came up to try to talk to the Japanese jockey, Delta Blues put his ears back and took a bite at the interviewer's pony, twice. "Get out of my limelight, you impertinent hack!'

Actually, now that I see him close up, Delta Blues looks more like a Nijinsky than a Sunday Silence, although he's got a funny little squiggly blaze. Pop Rock has more of the SS black coat. Commentator was remarking that this was the first win by an entire horse in quite a while.

Maybe Better, who won his way into the race with a score in the Saab Quality (aka the Hotham) last Saturday, finished third. Yeats faded to seventh.

Did these Japanese connections learn from the experiences of Heart's Cry and Deep Impact? Both looked a bit short in their big races, coming off of lengthy layoffs. Delta Blues and Pop Rocks had each had a run in Australia in the Cup runup.
