Considering BLU had come back from a bowed tendon and was out of action for a year, this was hardly convincing by Let's Elope. The 92 W.S. Cox Plate should've been won by BLU if S.D.Marshall hadn't of decided to try for the impossible gap. Watch the race again if you don't believe.
100% right Crash Davis. Marshall said it on tv recently that BLU had forgiven him for that 92 Cox Plate ride. Super had never gone past BLU on the home straight prior to BLU's tendon injury.
Super Race _ LET'S ELOPE !! Interesting to see L Dittman rode that day ( Only Time He Rode ) _ S King was regular rider. He had 7 rides 6 wins. That day was mare's last Aussie win with one more win in USA. Lost another on Protest. Let's Elope 28 starts for 11 wins / 5 thirds. W S Cox Plate 1992 was second over the line but after a Protest was relegated to fifth with G J Childs aboard. Super Impose won that race.
How bloody stupid, to show the race from the 700, this race is NOT famous for the Horses involved, although they were Champions, if you ain't heard this race from the Jump, you ain't seen or heard nothin'....The caller was the real star
