Yes I am a late comer to the band wagon so I just hope there is room left. After equalling Kingston Towns record of 6 Group Ones in a season, something that I only just became aware of, The Hussler dominated a field of champions on Saturday in the Underwood Stakes Group 1 to take his record to 7. For the uninitiated Group Ones are the highest class of horse race available to win and there are only a select few each season so the Husslers ability to equal Kingston Towns record is impressive.

He has put to the sword several worthy challengers in the last few weeks including my pick to beat him Light Fantastic. When all is said and done I am just not sure who can beat him.

My only concern is……..

The times he runs are not all that impressive above anything else in that has gone around in recent time. Sure he has a high cruising speed and can quicken off it but I just think that he either only does just enough to win or what he has done is the best he has. Very impressive I admit, but I am concerned that on their best day some of his competition may be too quick for him.

Don’t take my word for it, go back through his times, do your own thinking.

I am just concerned about the hundreds of thousands of punters who will smash him next start at odds of $1.30 and be devastated when a fast finishing swooper nabs him on the line.

Ahh heck, who am I kidding? I will never back the Hussler as long as I live. I will forever be in a desperate search of a swooper …… yes, it could be a long Spring.
