Nowhere near a Melbourne cup. The Cox Plate is not a staying race and Efficient got the Diva covered over 3200m. As good as Tuesday Joy is only 1 staying win, The BMW. Nowhere near a Melbourne cup.

It was probly sympathy for 2006 when it won the Victorian Derby but then was scratched in the Melbounre cup because of a knee injury. Its a 5yr old i think, i would not be suprised if it gave a great show in this melbourne cup or ones to come. Efficient is already early melbourne cup favourite and will be on target to equal the Divas record if it was to get up this year.

I feel that by naming Efficient as the stayer of the year; that the judges have not only devalued other consistent stayers from last season in Melbourne; but also those who performed consistently in Group One staying races interstate! I think you could make an equally strong argument against El Segundo... He won the Cox Plate right ;) Don't get me wrong I love the horse (and he was far more consistent than efficient).... but i thought our 'Australian Racehorse of the Year - Weekend Hussler' may have fit into that category also. Perhaps it was more of a tribute to an 'old mate' more than anything? Great Post! Phil Can I just say that I agree with you 100%!!
