SOMETHING SHORT AND SWEET

Today, November 7, Vigor races over a mile (OK then, 1600 metres).

He was balloted out of the Melbourne Cup, and the two hopeless types that were allowed in (we were told their form merited it!!! God knows how) ran nowhere and worse than nowhere. And of course another was withdrawn in acrimonious circumstances.

If Vigor was trained for the Cup on Tuesday, can he now turn around and race a field of milers and even beat them? Well, it's his favourite track (five wins from seven goes) and the conditions are right.

I don't know, but I'll be fascinated to find out.
