I’m sure Cold Chisel must have thought about this as a song title.  We have genuinely pinged 3 legs and 2nd by a fu#$ng neck or less 4 of the last 6 weeks.  This weeks included another $16 winner in the kitbag.  Scenic Assault (our one out) pinged because Sebastian Murphy ….. well, I was going to do a premature ejaculation joke but have too much class.  Surely it’s the first thing a jockey learns about Sandown - don’t make your run too early, the straight is long and uphill, blah blah blah.  Needless to say, he went on the turn, the horse died 50 from the line and the thing that beat it got all the favours.  The next closest was 5 lengths away.

Quaddie pays $3400 for 50c.  Now, no doubt it would’ve been less with Scenic Assualt, but still - $1500 I’d reckon.

I coulda been a contender …  Stellaaaaaaa ….
