Parchment Party Information
As I said, great narrative that he’s here being an American h0rse. He will chip away and stay…but if he’s winning the Melbourne Cup, the race is in big trouble. Got no chance IMO.

No point looking at the Belmont Cup, because it was a nothing race. This is the last start win of this guy. Visually, it looked awful because he looked gone on the turn but went back inside and finished best in an absolute slog. The beaten runners, they have raced five times collectively, no wins, for a combined beaten margin of around 100 lengths! He beat absolute donkeys.
