Melbourne Cup winning trainer Sheila Laxon

[@levenscott645]

I was on Warp Speed, but I love that genuine, down-to-earth racing people like Sheila Laxon, John Symons, Robbie Dolan can pull off the unexpected. That's the Cup story at its best. I went back and looked at the unlucky run of Knight's Choice in the Bendigo Cup. Robbie was right: it was an excellent pointer that most of us missed.

Well done Sheila and to your beautiful family also.

In the world of racing, it does not get any better than that. Laxon and Symons get the fairytale 😁. As for Rob Dolan great ride, the horse travelled well in the run. They all fanned wide and you weaved the magic closer in. Been watching horses race for 50 years and thats one for the battlers. Oh if you really want to watch a bad ride, watch Buckaroo about 15 deep turning for home. I would say the horse runs the trip with a more patient ride and ride for luck.
