What an awesome display Weekend Hussler put on in the Underwood Stakes at Caulfield on the weekend. Maldivian did everything he could to stop the rampant Huss jumping two lengths clear with 400 odd metres left, but faded for 4th beinhd Weekend Hussler, an impressive Pompeii Ruler and Littorio who was also powering home and the only horse to really be taking ground off 1st and 2nd.
I wonder how Colin Tidy’s Sportsbet are feeling now after taking on Weekend Hussler and losing to the tune of $650K with a punter having $1M on The Australian Horse of The Year. For the record I was on Maldvian at $9, offered value with Weekend Hussler unproven over the distance, but lesson learnt! I won’t be taking him on again unless he runs in the Caulfield Cup. Otherwise not much in this race for us Melbourne Cup watches with Viewed probably the best late coming through the middle.
