Message: [QUOTE="The Brizz, post: 2341717, member: 1817"] I said it last year about the disappointing effort from Viewed and will say it again about Descarado and Shocking I don't get the logic of running experienced horses on the Saturday prior over 2000m when they have come off great Caufield (2400m) preps. Both of them ran out of petrol today, sure the barrier didn't help Shocking as he worked hard to improve spots only to have to drop back to the tail when he couldn't sneak in. I don't see how it could be good gradually building the distance for a stayer only to drop him back to 2000m 3 days away from the big race add to that the conditions on Saturday were not good and I can't imagine any horses on those longer preps felt great after that slog. Shocking should have been kept away from the track until today after that massive Caufield Cup run and I would be interested to see the how many times a horse who won the cup coming through the Caufield Cup also ran on Derby Day.
