Greg Lambert says he wasn't confident for Saturday's $100,000 Aussie Browne's Winter Cup at Riccarton when he looked in Superturf's feed bin on race morning.
"He'd eaten nothing but a pick of hay in the two days he'd been here," said Palmerston North-based Lambert.
As countless have before him, Superturf
showed that can often mean less than nothing when he powered over the top of the leaders in the closing stages of Saturday's feature.
"I also didn't feel confident about the holding track," said Lambert.
"When he's been beaten it's generally been on a track like he struck this time. It put a real doubt in my mind."
